If you
are reading this article there is a high likelihood that you have already taken a number of steps to develop your fitness physique. You probably place a high value on health, dedicate time to exercise, eat fairly clean and spend time educating yourself on how to improve your knowledge in all of these realms. Doing all of these things lay the foundation for building the perfect body; however, there are often elements that we fail to address when we think about reaching our highest fitness level. Arguably, one of the most salient elements is sleep!

one of the most asked questions of any competitor has to be about what meal plan would be suggested for them. I know I get inundated with emails asking for me to write up a meal plan…for free of course. I also get competitors complaining that the diet their trainer has them on isn’t working for them and seeking knowledge on how to tweek it or they’re shopping around for a new trainer who’s theories on nutrition and training may be a better fit.
The thing most of these people have in common seems to be a lack of patience. Everyone wants immediate results but very few look within themselves to determine if the problem is them rather than the plan their prep coach has them following.
The debate between which is worse, soda and diet soda has been ongoing for some time. I’m going to break down the differences to answer the question once and for all. Let’s start with the non diet soda.
Regular Soda

Statistics 
are an interesting concept; So many sight statistics as a way to prove or disprove an idea, yet anyone who looks deeply into statistics knows that they can be swayed to whatever perspective it is that we wish the outcome to be! The concept that when we are looking for something, we will eventually find it is very true when it comes to statistics. I feel that it is always important to look where the actual numbers are coming from and often times to use statistics to get a general feeling of what the outcome is can be much more valuable. One general statistic that holds very true is that there is a very small percentage of the population that regularly writes down Their Goals, revisits them, and thus achieves them! Just as I stated earlier, when we are looking for something, we will eventually find it; So, start looking for Your Goals and you will be very pleased and surprised to see that you find them!

companies and brands understand the importance of consistency in the look of their materials. This could include items such as the location of logo placement on advertisements, to the colors used on a website and more. This, over time, allows their consumers to know what to expect which holds a lot of value. Expectations when they see a certain color or hear a certain slogan can mean everything to a small or growing company by embedding it in the consumers mind. Expectations as a result of consistency lead to expectations of quality. This is a lesson you can learn from watching the big companies.
