How to Acquire Healthy Eating Habits & Actions to Become Lean
Matt Taylor asked:
I like to people watch. How about you? There are many reason why someone would be people watching. But the reason I do it is to learn the habits and actions of folks that are in great shape and the folks that could do much better…
In short… it is way easier to copy the designs for a wheel than reinvent the wheel… isn’t that right?
Sure! So if you want to get good at something… you should find a mentor or observe someone that you admire and figure out how they do it. Like a business skill. Like a wealthy person. Like a popular person. I think you get my drift here.
And many times, when somebody finds out that I’m a fitness expert… they start peppering me with questions. And I don’t mind because it gives me an opportunity to reinforce my beliefs and a chance to learn what other people do that is counterproductive to getting a fit and lean body.
And most people, believe it or not is either obese or overweight. It is sad and it can be overcome.
Also, I’m not one of those guys who think I know it all and must tell everyone what they are doing wrong. It is sort of like someone telling ME something what I’m doing wrong and I didn’t even ask for their opinion.
So I won’t offer any advice unless someone ASKED me for it. This is the right way to do it without being an a-hole.
The last time I went on vacation at the Caribbean… I noticed that out of every 1000 folks from every walk of life, I saw only four or five guys or women that actually had what I would call a six pack abs.
This is incredible… we all want great looking, flat stomach! How come most of us has a belly that we are unsatisfied with?
One way is to observe if these folks have healthy eating habits by seeing what they get and eat at the grocery stores, gym, restaurants, at the office or even at a friend’s house.
And if you pay attention to what their body shape is like and whether or not they make healthy lifestyle choices…
You may notice that your office mate who complains that she cannot lose weight is the one most likely to eat free donuts and stuff that co-workers bring in and other bad food choices.
In fact, I remember once a long time ago, my girlfriend made a cheesecake that I brought in to share with my co-workers. It was a big cheesecake and was absolutely delicious! And throughout the day, I noticed the same guy kept coming back for another slice. And he was overweight.
My point is not to point out things that will make you feel bad, but to point out that the actions and choices you make (many times you may not be aware of it until someone points it out) DOES have an effect on your health and fitness.
