Maybe your doctor told you that you need to lose weight. Maybe you\u2019re sick and tired of being the self-deprecating big guy\/girl in your group of friends. Maybe you just had your first kid and realized you need to be there for him growing up. Maybe you woke up this morning, looked in the mirror, and finally came to the realization that it\u2019s time to start taking care of yourself.<\/p>\n

Whatever your reason is for wanting to make a change, you\u2019re not alone! Every day, thousands of people make the decision to start eating better and losing weight\u2026and every day those thousands of people don\u2019t really have any plan or idea what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

\n

Should I follow the food pyramid?
\nShould I be counting all of my calories?
\nWhat about \u201cheart healthy\u201d whole grains?
\nShould I do this juice diet all of my coworkers are on?
\nHow many Twinkies can I fit in my mouth?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Today you\u2019re going to learn the basics of a healthy diet so you can stop sucking and start living better. Feel free to wait until you\u2019re on you\u2019re lunch break to really dig in\u2026or just shun your work for the next 30 minutes and enjoy. Tell your boss you\u2019re leveling up your life\u2026he\u2019ll understand.<\/p>\n

\u201cTHIS IS SPARTA in no time\u2026or whatever else you prefer to yell while kicking people down bottomless wells”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note: the diet advice here is an abridged version of the diet philosophies that I present in the different Rebel Guides for sale \u2013 diets and what to eat can be some of the most controversial topics out there, so this information is based on my personal research, philosophy, and results along with the results of the members of the Nerd Fitness community who have followed similar guidelines.<\/p>\n

You know what real food is: things that grew in the ground, on a tree, came out of the sea, ran on the land, or flew through the air. Meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts are all great examples of REAL food.<\/p>\n

On top of that, you know what crap food is: food that comes from a drive-thru window, a vending machine, box, bag, or wrapper. If it started out as real food and then went through fourteen steps to get to the point where you\u2019re about to eat it, it\u2019s probably not good for you.<\/p>\n

Use this information and combine it with this mantra: \u201cyou can\u2019t outrun your fork\u201c. When trying to lose weight, feel healthy, and get in shape.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I realize this concept is nothing new or revolutionary, but up until now the ability to actually DO IT has eluded you for some reason \u2013 your heart wasn\u2019t in it, you got sick, went on vacation, got bored, or just decided that you couldn\u2019t live without certain foods.<\/p>\n

\n

I am NOT a fan of \u201cdiets\u201d, detoxes, juice cleanses, or crash-fads that result in vast fluctuations in your body weight and health. These are the useless solutions that are sold to you in pill form, in MIRACLE DIET INFORMATION ads online, and in super expensive health food stores.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Want to know what I am a fan of? Small changes that produce big results, like my boy Optimus Prime. You need to determine for yourself how likely you are to succeed depending on how many changes at once you can deal with: Some people can radically adjust everything they eat overnight and have no adverse effects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
