I've said it more times than I can count now... it's not how you work out, it is how you eat. I go to the gym every day and I see the same people there, and a lot of them look phenomenal. It got me thinking. What sets one person apart from the other is how much pain can they handle. I'm actually not talking about physical pain. I'm talking about social and mental pain.
Picture this: you are at work and all of your friends decide to go eat at an Italian restaurant. You get there, and everyone is ordering pasta, and breadsticks, and drinks. What do you do in that moment? Do you just go with the flow and eat some normal Italian meal? Or do you order a salad with the dressing on the side, and get the guaranteed wrath of your friends. You have to explain to them how you eat, and why you eat, and it is painful. Then you go home and eat your cold, dry chicken and rice.
That's what makes the difference. That is the difference between the person that looks in shape but isn't at that next level, and those next-level people that are shredded.
The pain of eating right is all social and mental. Once you overcome that, then things get a lot easier. I promise you that.
