Part 3: You Fail to Plan

In parts 1 & 2 we discussed the all or nothing scenario and I gave you a sample diet to follow year round, now it's time to get into some specifics and the first one that comes to mind is failure to plan.  We've all heard the saying before " those who fail to plan are planning to fail". 

I'm always surprised to see how much time and effort people will put into so many other things, but absolutely nothing into taking care of their bodies.  Look at my diet again in part 2 and notice the simplicity.  This is a meal plan you could easily follow year round.  When you wake up in the morning, you should have a darn good if not exact idea of what you are going to eat that day.  In fact,  I always say that I can tell you what I ate 6 months ago on a Wednesday for lunch. I'm kind of joking, but I'm kind of serious.  I might not be able to tell you with 100% accuracy what the exact vegetable or protein was but it's a pretty good bet that it was a protein and a vegetable.  I know some of you will comment on how boring that is and other hogwash like that, but we'll get into that later.

The point is you are in a lifelong battle here and like any other good General, if you are going to win that battle, you need to have a good plan of attack.  Going through your day with no plan and trying to eat right will always lead to you "grabbing something to eat" and this will always lead to failure because more times than not you will grab poor choices or nothing at all.

In part 4, we will go over why it is so important to keep things simple.
