You Can't Out-Train Lousy Nutrition

I see lots of people who are faithfully following a proper exercise program, but are frustrated because they aren't losing weight or inches. For some reason, many people think that just because they exercise regularly, they can then eat like crap and get away with it.

Well, I guess you can, as long as you don't care if you look and feel like crap as well. But if your goal is to lose weight, then you've got to get as serious about your nutrition as you are about working out. If you're not willing to do that, then don't expect to see great changes in the mirror or on the scale.

And as I said in a previous post, that doesn't just mean eating well. You've got to eat well, but what you've really got to do is eat well and create a caloric deficit.

That translates into 'stop eating crap and eat fewer calories than you burn'.

Combined with an appropriate training program, that is how you lose weight, because no matter how you try, you can't out-train lousy nutrition.
