Your Kitchen...

Last night I came across a great idea while reading Million Dollar Habits by Brian Tracy. He wrote a looking and acting the part. This has great carry over to achieving the physique and level of health that you desire. One of Brian Tracy's examples was if someone walked up to your desk when you weren't there would they conclude that you are a successful and efficient worker?

Let's apply this to you and your training/nutrition life. If a person were to enter your kitchen and examine it what would they conclude?

1. That you are a fit and lean person that eats clean is lives a healthy life.

2. That you are a person that tries to eat clean foods but enjoys having processed foods.

3. That there is no food because you always eat at McDonald's.

So which one are you?

This point goes right along with one of my favorite things that John Berardi has ever written called Berardi's 1st Law. Here it is:


Berardi’s First Law:
If a food is in your possession or located in your residence, you will eventually eat it.

Corollary to Berardi’s First Law:
If you wish to be healthy and lean, you must remove all foods not conducive to those goals from said residence and replace them with a variety of better, healthier choices.

Second Corollary to Berardi’s First Law:
If you know someone whose house is stocked only with optimal food choices and yet who is not healthy and lean, look under his bed.


I'm off to clean my desk :)
