You Are What You Eat

Days turn into to weeks, weeks turn into months, and before you realize it all the hours you put into the gym feel like a waste of time. It doesn't matter how many hours you put in the gym or how intense you make every workout. If your not eating right your not going to get the results you have been seeking. Remember getting the body of your dreams is a achievable, you just need the right equation. If you're training like a champion, its time you start eating like one.
