300lbs of Heavenly Joy
Most of the problems I see with people not being able to gain quality muscle is their diet. Most grocery stores now carry more crap than food-the snack aisles take up more space than the vegetable aisles--most of the vegetables are horrible waxy things grown in California that have very little nutritional value--most people do not cook they heat food up--big difference. If you want to fix your nutrition problems I recommend a few changes:
1. Grow a garden--get some real vegetables that have some taste
2. Learn to cook--do not buy pre-prepared salty crap that simply needs to be heated up--cooking a chicken is healthier than buying chicken nuggets.
3. Sit down at the table--eating should be a joy not simply something you do to survive.
4.Make a bunch of meals ahead of time-freeze them and reheat them when you do not have a lot of time to cook
5. Cooking requires planning--you can't decide you want roast beef and then be able to have it--you have to plan what you are going to eat a day ahead of time--frozen meat needs to be thawed.
6. Eat more often and stop eating fast food, and salty snacks--they are literally poison.
7.Have a good breakfast--get up a half hour earlier if this seems to daunting
8. There is no such thing as a cheat meal if you are eating good food--there is no reason to ever eat fast food--except for laziness and lack of good taste.
9. Less salt, more spices instead
10. Butter is better than margarine, cream is better than coffee-mate, honey is better than white sugar, fresh vegetables are better than frozen, which is still superior to canned---the rule the more processed your food is the crappier it is.
Now this should all be obvious, but I hear of people eating raw egg whites, substituting protein powder for meals, pigging out on fast food--No wonder so many Americans look like doughballs. Food is culture and not enjoying food is missing out on a huge part of life's best features.
