Learn to cook homie


The war to stay sexy is fought on two battle fields. On home soil and on native territory. At the Batcave and in the mean streets of Gothom. For the most part it's won and lost in the kitchen. The best advice I can give someone whose trying to get into shape is to build a life style around things that they enjoy eating. I say life style instead of diet for a reason. Diet implies, that once you reach a certain goal, be it, a dress size or number on a scale, then you can go back to your same old eating techniques that got you x amount of lbs over your desired weight. Oh and I don't go by weight by the way, simply and example. Anyway, here's what we're gonna have you do. Go to you local barn and boarders, or whatever mega coffee serving sit down and chill book store is closest to you. Check the cook book section, may be in wellness. Find three books that specialise on healthy diets. Then go to the magazine rack and do the same thing. Grab a cup a mocha ladie dadie, and skim through them, see which one rings closest to your core. Buy or steal sed book or periodical. Then the next time you go shopping for groceries, pick one recipe to master. Get the ingredients, along with the other ingredients of things you barely know how to cook, then come home and have at it. Each time you go shopping is another opportunity to learn how to cook another meal. do this for about two months and you should have your core meals, meaning the three or four meals that are healthy, taste good, and you can fire them off with your eyes close. Me personally, I have about three meals that I cook on a weekly bases, but truthfully, its more like two. You have your meals to sustain yourself, you can save the variety for your night on the town with your lady or dude as Bosa Nova, where everything is good. Anyway, that's all I got for ya, and don't be afraid to put some of that good food you just learned how to cook in Tupperware, and show it a good time on the town. That's a tale for another time. Until we meet again, stay thirsty my friends, Gone.

the Supply Run


The simplest way to make dieting not seem like a diet is to eat food that taste good. So simple a caveman could do it huh? Caveman pissed. Ha! Anyway, whats a caveman gonna do anyway besides pout? OK, seriously, I'm gonna start being serious here. Not everything that taste good is bad for you, its just a matter of finding those things, those four meals that are pretty easy to cook, and those couple of restaurants, whose chicken salads you can stand, or yogurt or fresh fruit etc to get you through the in between time when your on the road. Design a life style for your self shoe a little discipline, and BAM! Couple months later your sex appeal just shot up 16.5%, and seriously who can't use 16.5% more sex appeal. Your in the game, wondering why the bad guys are mean mugg'n you. So to reiterate, first step is decide what you like to get, phase two, research that list kind out if it is good for you. Phase three stuff not on the good list is researched to see if there is a healthy alternative. Now if there no need to get all bent outta shape and pouty. We just slide those items into the cheat bin. Once a week, or every four days, depending on how active you are and what your goals are, you can give yourself a guilt free cheat meal. Not a day of carnage, a meal, maybe even seconds. Then get back on course. I do mean guilt free, don't you dare tarnish that moment by feeling guilty for even a second. It will psychologically aid you in staying on course if you use this reward method. No there are various different people who call themselves experts on diets, I do not count my self as one of them. I eat well, and I for the most part know whats good to eat and whats not, but the whys are still some what off a mystery. I pretty much have just built patterns, and have adhered to them. Knowledge is power as you all know. I'm currently reading the Ab's diet eat right every time guide, and its letting me know that I've been on the right path, but also why. This book will help you design your new lifestyle. They have a website also, I'd check it out if I was you. I was like one item into putting up a grocery list of mine until I realised it was in some kind of short hand that at this hour seemed alien to me, anyway, you get the gist of it, if not then the list probably wouldn't have helped you anyway. Make a battle plan, and keep the fortress stocked up.
