Hey Guys!
Kevin Gianni here with this week's 50 Second Fitness Quick Fix. Today, I'm not going to answer a question because I want to talk about something that comes up a lot in what I do. It's the resistance to spend money on food. You might even have a little bit of that resistance yourself.
You have to spend money on food and you have to spend a lot. Why? Because you need to fuel your body with good, nutritious and healthy foods. You need to realize that just because there is food on the shelf doesn't mean that it's good for you. Food companies are selling to you. They will do whatever it takes—pesticides, waxes, chemical fertilizers, genetic engineering—to make that food look good and stay on the shelf longer.
I just picked some fresh vegetables from a friend's garden yesterday. The leaves are already starting to wilt. What does that tell you about your super-tough, non-organic shiny supermarket produce? It tells you that it's been tampered with.
When I hear “organic and healthy foods are too expensive” excuse I cringe. You have to reassess your priorities. Would you buy a TV at the dollar store? Would you buy a used car at the scrap yard?
No!
You wouldn't because you wouldn't trust that it was worth anything. Same deal with your food. The cheap food has little nutrient value. Sure it might give you energy but you get what you pay for! It's just like buying a sleek looking TV with no parts inside.
Annmarie and I spend a large amount of money on food every month. Why? We know it puts us at the top of our game. It gives us fantastic energy and infectious energy. Want to feel that way? Spend more on food!
If you still truly believe it's not in your budget… I still think you're being silly.
Do you buy a coffee at Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks in the morning? Do you eat out once a week? Do you use premium gas when you really could use regular? Do you buy lotto tickets? Cigarettes? Alcohol?
If you do anyone or all of these things, I know you can afford the $20-25 more a week to spend on your health.
You only have one chance here, so spend it wisely!
