You are what you eat.

I know you've all heard this before, but there is some truth to this saying.  Basically, if you have a diet with too much sugar, your body will respond with a roller coast ride of high and low blood sugars throughout the day, every day.  If you have too many fried foods in your diet, your body will respond with weight gain and digestive issues.  

Bottom line, we have to keep ourselves in check on what we put into our bodies.  Again, as you know, I am a BIG fan of food.  I love it. However, I allow myself unhealthy food in moderation or as a "treat" on special occasions. Otherwise, I do what I can everyday to put real and good foods in my body.  (I don't even remember the last time I deep fried anything in my own home and I'm pretty certain that I've eaten a total of 4 donuts over the past 12 months.)  

So do what you can to be a conscious eater.  OK, not a self-conscious eater, but someone who thinks for a bit before they dig into the basket of chili fries during happy hour or pauses before taking the largest slice of birthday cake.    Then, whether or not you've indulged in the fries and/or cake, have the next snack/meal you eat be something healthy, unfried, unprocessed.  It can be an apple on the way to work or a huge glass of water right before you start eating your lunch.  In time and with good overall daily eating habits, you will be what you eat.

Have a great week and hope to see you for a workout soon!
