Matthew 7:24-27 (paraphrased), Build your house on a foundation of rock not sand. So make your body healthy not with potato chips, and fast foods (sand) but with good building materials. Things like lean high quality protein, vegetables, fruits.
Okay, it is not as simple as that. People are complex and we have been trained to use food as a reward, a comfort, solace when we are depressed. These are difficult habits to break. It is especially difficult since we have to eat. It isn't like a chemical addiction where you can just stop. Chemical addictions are very difficult to solve, and food is even harder.
But we must.
This post was inspired by The Trainer. I am trying to be better about what I eat. I am pretty good, but my body is highly efficient. It loves starches and thinks they should be converted to famine anticipation tissue (FAT). I do want to improve my lean body to fat ratio.
I am continuing to take picts of my food intake and will post them. I send them to The Trainer also to keep me in line and make recommendations to help. The Trainer has been fantastic about that. Not judgmental, no blame storming, but helpful.
Think of food as the building blocks for your body and the fule it needs. You must put fuel in it. Put good fuel and supply it with good building blocks. Ask yourself, "Do you really need that front porch?"
I will post picts of what I ate today when I finish eating for the day.
Feel free to comment.
