-Take a few minutes to exercise now or you’ll have to find time for illness later in life
-“I don’t eat a lot yet I’m gaining weight”…….. 1 slice of fried plantain is 68 calories. You ate an entire plate for breakfast alone.
-As important as exercise is, you cannot out-train a bad diet. Eat for the body you want.
– Super food: Grape fruit. 1 cup of juice = 96 calories. 1/2 a grape fruit = 39 calories.
-A reverse diet is where you add calories back into your diet slowly, much the same as when you cut them slowly in order to get lean.
