Barbecue season and you shouldn’t ignore your healthy options.
The only way you will put on weight after a barbecue is either eating huge quantities of food or eating the traditional high saturated meats such as gammon, bacon and sausages. Eat a good portion of these and the way will come on for sure.
You have plenty of low fat choices in meat terms such leaner cuts of beef for example, white meats across the board are always safe choices and its always a question of using your head every time, rather than just throwing caution to the wind every time you have a barbecue!
Just think of all the effort you have put in lately on your training! Are you really going to blow all of that effort? Are you going to be that thoughtless? If you are, its a free country but don’t be too disappointed with the results, its your choice after all!!!
What happens if you are making the wrong choices AND eating all the wrong barbecue meats, loading your body way up with saturated fat and putting a lot of strain on your arteries?
Blood pressure problems, heart concerns and risk of serious illness will go way up if these habits are employed on a long term basis!!
So if your current situation is that you don’t exercise (but talk about it a lot), and you eat exactly what you want (even if it does clog up your arteries), then we should stop talking about it right now and stop pretending to be in shape, or stop pretending you have a deep desire to be in shape!! Talking about being in shape or the way “you used to look” over a cake and couple of beers ins’t going to fool ANYONE!!!
Harsh words maybe but a hospital visit through ill health in the future will be much tougher for you to handle, both physically and mentally!!!!
Time to front up and get moving, and start being honest with yourself!!!
