Change the Food!

After a great workout with Mary yesterday, we sat down and talked about my food intake which has been off a bit for a while now. Even though I have won the Hawaiian State Ultimate Fitness Championships twice, competed in numerous kickboxing bouts, as well as coach hundreds of people each year, I, like everyone else, fall into habits. I haven’t really fallen into bad habits, just more like a routine that offers no flexibility to add what I really need- vegetables!


As a kid, I always ate my greens first, and then moved onto the rest. Not really sure why, just worked out that way. Now, I just seem to skip the greens all together every day, and every week! Here’s what I normally eat:


Meal One: two cups cheerios, 60 gram protein shake.
Meal Two: ½ pound roast beef, 2 slices whole grain bread, 2 slices Swiss cheese, teaspoon low fat mayo
Meal Three: 2 cups Jasmine Rice, 2 pieces Tilapia
Meal Four: 2 cups Chobani Yogurt
Meal Five: 70 gram protein shake
Meal Six: 2 cups rice, 2 pieces Tilapia


Here are meal changes Mary is helping me make:

Meal 2: add one or two cups broccoli
Meal 3: add one or two cups mixed vegetables
Meal 6: add one or two cups green beans
That was it! For me, my food intake is OK, I just needed to add a SUPER important ingredient to the plan! Simple, huh? This way, I’ll have added vegetables to 3 meals. The good thing about veggies is that it takes just as many calories to burn them off as they supply. Meaning that vegetables are a “wash” on your daily calorie intake and really only provide you with needed vitamins and minerals to keep your body healthy.

However, most people need a complete overhaul when it comes to their diet and nutritional needs - and if that’s the case, then give Mary a call or shoot her an e-mail today!! Right Now!! Because the sooner you start to accomplish your goals, the sooner you’ll reach them!!
