The Middle Finger to Unrealistic Fitness Advice
I received this little gem of advice today.
“Remember, good nutrition is all about making good choices in all situations – even on Halloween!”
Thanks for that. (eyes rolling)
Somebody needs to GET a DAMN life. Why is it that every fitness guru’s newsletter I subscribe to gives out this bogus, unrealistic advice? Not all of us want to eat, sleep and breath a plain chicken breast lifestyle? For god’s sake, give out some REAL tips on this day not just “avoid the candy and beer.”
How awful it must be to just workout, eat healthy, and never drink a beer, eat a piece of candy and miss out on life becuase you might miss a workout.
You’ll be the healthiest dead person I know.
Here’s to that advice and anything else like that I receive today on Halloween.

Thank you Rob for reminding us you can still “have a life” and be successful. I’ve seen your story and your transformation pictures. It’s obvious you can still have a life and become extremely fit.

Hey Marc,
I agree with you on the unrealistic advice. That is something I try to avoid as much as possible. My advice is based on my own expereicnes so they are at least realistic to me. I consider myself to be an average guy and that is who I write for.
I actually just put up a post earlier today on moderation. check it out. I don’t avoid any foods (drinks included), I can only handle so much chicken and vegetables.
Hopefully you wouldn’t group me into the unrealistic advice catergory.
Take Care,
Steve

Here here!! This is one of the many reasons why so many people have difficulty starting and finishing their diet and training plans. Variation is so important, it keeps you interested and allows you to stay focused.

Hi Marc,
Nice post. There is more to life than boiled chicken. My fitness transformation is about being aware of my nutrition and exercise and I take it one day at a time. Rome wasn’t built in a day. You are an inspiration.
