Push Forward

Been slowly dieting up all summer. In particular trying to raise carbs. Was at a measly amount of carbs near the start of this summer. Slowly but surely and staying relatively lean while doing so, I've added just about 200 grams of carbs into my diet. @jase_stevens has been helping me along the way properly increasing my carb intake. And of course with me and my @timhortons addiction you can bet I am following an #iifym approach lol. #fit #fitfam #fitness #fitspo #health #healthy #happy #abs #arms #summer #gains #bodybuilding #muscle #workout #exercise #potd #instadaily

Another week down...start of the next. 2 more weeks of MI40. Have loved it so far!! I suggest anyone wanting to make solid results in just over a month look into the MI40 program. Give 100% in the gym and stay on point with your diet and you will surely see the results you are going for! :). With digital dreams just two weeks away timing could not be better 😜. #digitaldreams #digitaldreams2014 #abs #muscle #muscles #fit #fitfam #fitspo #fitness #train #cardio #arms #chest #diet #workout #exercise #health #healthy #happy #dedication #motivation #potd

Have you always been generally fit? Do you ever eat junk or fast food?

I have played sports my whole life and happen to have a relatively high metabolism so I guess I would be considered in shape. But nothing as I am now. I used to eat essentially w.e I wanted. And then I slowly got away from that and would have fast food occasionally. Until recently I still ate junk food. I LOOOOVE my chips haha. Guilty snacker :p. but more recently I have really been watching my food and hitting my macros (macronutrient- fats protein carbs) for my targeted values. I try my best to eat clean. But I do a little here and there of iifym (if it fits your macros - meaning eat in some respects what you want as long as your within your ranges at the end of the day). I have always enjoyed healthy food though even as a small child I would ask for salad over fries haha….. There are great foods out there to snack on if your a snacker…..as for junk food now…. I will usually have one day a week (Sunday) where I have a big cheat meal…. Or get kinda lax for that day and go over carbs in particular. Also at night if I am really still feeling the need to snack I’ll have little jello’s, they have 4 calories which comes from the one gram of protein, oddly enough, that makes up the jello haha.

All I can say is take the time. Plan your meals for a couple days. The first two weeks can be a little bit of a struggle figuring out the efficiency behind mealPrepping. But as they say abs are made in the kitchen! And just give a solid honest effort in the gym. Lift some weights try interval training instead of 40 mins of straight cardio. More efficient more cals burned higher intensity.

Take small steps. Tackled all at once it can be a daunting task or overwhelming. Slowly figure things out. I’ve had many trail and error experiences in gym and out of gym.

Just keep at it w.e it is your doing and things will fall into place.

Hope that helps :)

First time I have ever given a true honest effort at dieting, hitting macros, and adjusting week to week. And I can say, that combined with a new workout program (MI40), This has been my fastest results yet... Increasing carbs/cals and getting leaner!! No complaints with that! Yes I have been working harder in the gym and more HIIT. But diet has by far been the key!! #gains #exercise #hiit #gym #fit #abs #muscle #muscles #lift #swol #shredded #health #healthy #eatclean #fitfam #fitspo #fitness #potd #summer #motivation #dedication #diet

First ever attempt at protein pancakes.... Kinda look like beef patties lol. Consistency could be a little better but the flavour was good :). Kind of mashed together multiple sources and just went with it haha. - 2/3 cup oats - 1 1/3 cup water. - next time I'll do 1 - 1/2 tsp baking powder - 1 whole egg - 2 egg whites - 1 banana - 2 scoops Choco protein powder - 2 tsp peanut butter - coconut oil for frying pan - topped with - big spoon full of vanilla Greek yogurt with about a teaspoon of maple syrup mixed in. All in all for first time I'm not to mad about it :) #food #yum #foodporn #gains #eatclean #eatcleantraindirty #breakfast #fit #fitfam #fitspo #fitness #exercise #health #healthy #happy #bodybuilding #muscle #muscles #absaremadeinthekitchen
