Knowledge is power! you can have the greatest work out in the world, the greatest routine but if you are not eating right, it will be a dud. You are what you eat. there are rules and if you, think you can cheat the system, you will learn a long hard lesson. READ on how to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, because all of this plays a role in the effects you will receive from your work out. Applying the correct knowledge, is the key, whether in the gym or toward the diet. So be particular who you listen to, check references or look at the amount of success they have.

I had no coach, I used supplements(protein shakes@vitamins), asked questions everywhere and showed up with a great attitude. I was approx. 120 pounds cut, but I was uncomfortable with the weight, and my body shape/posture. I was shopping, passed by a window, seen my reflection and I was like no-no, I got to change this and I did. You can do the same, it is not easy but it is definitely possible. Elevation.
