Here are Pro bodybuilder Evan Centopani's top 12 favorite mass-building foods. Use the list as a starting point as you discover the foods that give you the results you want. ► Read The Full Article: https://bbcom.me/3it10fG ► Iron Intelligence - Evan Centopani's Muscle-Building Plan: https://bbcom.me/3ClCswR ► Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2DK5lGD When it comes to gaining size, I don't prioritize any one macronutrient over another or consume any of them in significantly greater quantities than the next. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are all crucial for putting on mass. There are many bodybuilding foods that can satisfy your macronutrient and calorie requirements, but I recommend focusing on these 12. What may sound good in theory doesn't always work best in application—and could cost you gains. For example, traditional wisdom held that bodybuilders should skip the white rice and eat brown rice, shy away from white potatoes in favor of yams, and eat egg whites instead of whole eggs to avoid the cholesterol; however, anyone who has ever eaten for maximum size will tell you that brown rice can fill you up too much, eating too many yams can give you gas and make you bloated, and avoiding egg yolks and going for the whites is like throwing away a barbell but keeping the plates. | Beef | Red meat has always been hailed as the king of muscle-building foods, and that isn't wrong. Beef is rich in creatine, B-vitamins, and saturated fats, so you may wonder why you shouldn't just supplement with lean proteins, take some creatine, rely on the B-vitamins in your multi, and call it a day. From my experience with eating red meat on a daily basis, I can tell you that I'm bigger, stronger, and fuller than when I don't. It just works. Whole Eggs It's unfortunate that we're still undoing the stigma around eggs that popped up in the 1980s. People claimed that whole eggs, because of their high cholesterol content, should be severely limited or scrapped altogether in favor of egg whites. This was terrible advice. Chicken Chicken is a mainstay in nearly every bodybuilder's diet, and for good reason. Compared to all other protein sources, it is easily the most economical. You can still find chicken breast on sale for around $2 per pound. It may not be as easy on the digestive system as lean fish, but it's certainly easier to digest than beef and at a fraction of the price. Also, as you're probably well aware, chicken breast is almost all protein and very little fat, yet it still tastes decent and lends itself to a variety of preparations. Fish While fish may lack the hardcore and somewhat legendary muscle-building status that red meat has, it can be a powerhouse when used properly. The one thing that each and every one of us will eventually come to terms with in our attempts to build the maximum amount of muscle is that we can only eat so much damn food. At some point, our aspirations will demand that we eat more. That sounds great, until eating more begins to feel nauseating and impossible. White Rice Conventional wisdom says to eat brown rice because it has more fiber and vitamins. I think that's all crap. Most carbohydrates are a poor source of vitamins and minerals compared to meat and vegetables. Eating too many fibrous carbohydrates will only slow digestion and fill you up more, preventing you from eating to your full capacity. Potatoes Let's continue with the theme of digestive efficiency. I love potatoes for the same reasons I love white rice—they digest incredibly well. There is not much of a difference between white and sweet potatoes, so both are acceptable. It's simply not true that sweet potatoes will somehow lead to ripped abs while white potatoes are made in hell and are a one-way ticket to obesity. | Follow Evan Centopani | ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/2EwiikT ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/evancentopani/ | Follow Animal | ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/2EwiArZ ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/animalpak/ 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Beef 02:46 - Fish 03:24 - Chicken 03:58 - Whole Eggs 05:35 - Olive Oil 07:20 - Nuts 08:10 - Avocados 10:10 - White Rice & Potatoes 12:35 - Full-Fat Dairy 14:00 - Meal Replacement Powders 15:00 - Carbohydrate Drinks 16:00 - Final Thoughts ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

This mom of four used her husband's deployment as an opportunity to surprise him by losing over 40 pounds to completely transform her body. ► Read Ashley Moore's full transformation story: https://bbcom.me/3xVeEh9 ► Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2DK5lGD Ashley Moore is a nurse, military wife, and mother of four. When her kids were little, she poured her time and energy into them, which left very little time for herself. A chronic stress eater who assumed cardio was the only option to lose weight (https://bbcom.me/3b8fwFo), Ashley avoided getting serious about health for a long time. Having failed to lose the weight of her last two pregnancies, Ashley used her husband's 20-week deployment as motivation to finally make a change. Discovering a love of lifting (https://bbcom.me/3vMFvKw) and a much healthier approach to food, she surprised her husband on his return by showing up to greet him smaller and more fit than the day they were married. Here is Ashley's story. If you want to share your success story with us to be considered for publication, send an email to transformations@bodybuilding.com. – H.E. I got married just a few years after high school, and we started a family. Right now, my kids are 13, 11, 8, and 6, but they were all little at the same time. I gained about 50 pounds with every pregnancy, but I lost it pretty well after the first two. After my third pregnancy, I never lost the weight. Then, it segued right into the fourth one. I got to a point where I was actually up to about 215 pounds. I was pretty unhappy with my body, unhappy with the way I felt. I had a lot of depression, anxiety, and stress. But, obviously, my kids were still relying on me, and it was hard. | Ashley's Top 5 Transformation Tips | 1. Decide That You're Worth It I had to decide that I was worthy of the time, money, and effort necessary to make a change. I had to really shift my thinking, and it's been an interesting process. There have been many times when I struggled with loving my body or loving myself. I love who I am now in every way: mentally, spiritually, physically. I have absolutely changed, and I love it and embrace it. Allowing your mind to shift and recognize that you are worthy is a beautiful thing. 2. Find Focus in Fitness While my husband was gone, I was taking care of my four kids, the yard, the house—I had so many things going on. I needed something else to focus on during that time. By making health and fitness a priority, I could focus on just what I was eating and what I needed to do to hit my goal. I could go work out and meal prep (https://bbcom.me/2R0doZq) healthy meals. Focusing on my health helped me deal with all the stress and other things that sometimes felt piled on me. 3. Don't Be Afraid of Help If you need help starting out, get a personal trainer (https://bbcom.me/2Q2isfA)! Find somebody to help who knows this stuff inside and out, what works and what doesn't. There's so much conflicting information out there. No carbs? Yes carbs? I never could figure it out. My trainer helped me make the right changes and dial in my macros to what my body needed. It worked out beautifully for me. 4. Do It for You, to Be There for Them We give as mothers and as spouses. We give and we give and we give. There comes a point when you have to take care of yourself. It's harder to be useful and helpful to other people if you don't fill your own cup first. 5. Set New Goals I think having goals (https://bbcom.me/3nXEJYl) is 100 percent necessary. Hitting little personal records here and there can help keep you going, but having something big to drive me out of my comfort zone has been essential for me. For example, my trainer and I are working toward getting me ready to do a figure competition (https://bbcom.me/3etPLS2). Stepping onstage is something that intimidates me a lot, but I think that is a good thing. I think it's definitely going to grow me in a lot of ways, and even the prep leading up to it is going to help me grow.

The question "How do I lose weight fast?" gets asked even more. Unfortunately, the so-called answers that pop up are usually ridiculous "weight loss tips" that don't actually explain what a person needs to do in order to lose what they don't want and keep it off. What's worse, they often conflict with one another, creating more lasting confusion than lasting results. The truth is far simpler. You can lose weight with any number of approaches you may have heard of: IIFYM, paleo, low-carb, vegetarian, ketogenic, or intermittent fasting. It's also possible to lose by doing nothing more than eating good food in a moderate amount. Sustainable physique transformation happens by making healthy alterations to your diet, controlling your overall calories (or portions, to think of it another way), and exercising regularly. Any other approach may work in the short term, but will the results last? Don't hold your breath. | Follow Mark Bell | ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/37tvPZQ ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marksmellybell/ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarkBellSuperTraining ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/marksmellybell ► Snapchat: marksmellybell @Mark Smelly Bell #weightloss #diet #selfhelp ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

Mike Rashid's Kingmaker program will expose your weaknesses and force you to grow beyond the "3 sets of 10-12 reps" mindset that dominates much of what happens in the weight room. ► Kingmaker: 4 Weeks to Fighting Shape: https://bbcom.me/2NTHxoO ► BodyFit Training Programs: https://bbcom.me/2tKsZAP ► Shop Bodybuilding Signature Supplements: https://bbcom.me/2tzjJQ5 ► Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2DK5lGD You will push—and be pushed—into fighting shape. Mike Rashid is the perfect guide, but he won't pull any punches along the way. But today's workout is special for reasons beyond the simple fact that it's Day 1. It's also the only day where Mike himself will guide you through every set and rep. Before you jump right into the first workout, watch Mike's workout videos and get the answers to any questions you may have about pre-exhaust sets, how to choose your working weights, the importance of conditioning, and how to do a proper jab! What better way to start the program than with the bench press? As you saw in the video, experienced lifters should choose weights based off a percentage of total body weight, or a percentage of your 1 rep max. If you are a less experienced lifter, don't worry about those calculations. Be honest with yourself and choose a weigh that challenges you, but allows you to hit your reps in the recommended ranges. | Mike Rashid's Bench Press Standards | Set 1: 25-30% 1RM or 60% of body weight Set 2: 45% 1RM or 100% of body weight Set 3: 55% 1RM or 120% of body weight Set 4: 60-65% 1RM or 140% of body weight Set 5: 80% 1RM or 180% of body weight Set 6: 60-65% 1RM or 140% of body weight | Kingmaker: The Program | Mike designed this as a four-week program, but it's meant to be performed back to back, making for an eight-week commitment overall. Why? You'll know once you're a few days in. The sheer volume packed into each workout is incredible and will have you using some seriously light weights. If you really want to make progress on this program, consider the first time through it as your introduction, and the second time through as the time to try heavier weights. The program consists of a four-week, five-day split. Here's the schedule: Day 1: Upper body Day 2: Lower body Day 3: Conditioning Day 4: Upper body Day 5: Lower body Day 6: Active recovery Day 7: Rest These splits aren't as clean-cut as in a bodybuilding program, though. There are some upper-body days that have full-body moves like deadlifts, and some of the conditioning days are basically full-body lifting workouts in disguise. Also, every day—upper, lower, and conditioning—begins with a jog on the treadmill, and ends with either another jog or a brisk walk. So expect to be tested in unusual ways. Your active recovery day at the end of the week is meant to focus on restorative cardiovascular training to boost recovery and give your joints a break. Swimming is the ideal choice here, but of course not everyone has access to a pool. If not, then yoga, a hike, or some other light, restorative activity will work—but no lifting! | Week 4: The Ultimate Test | On the fourth week, you get to test your maxes—but not in the typical 1RM fashion. Instead, you'll be performing high-rep work with a preset amount of weight. For example, you'll perform 100 reps of squats with a weight equivalent to your body weight, aiming to perform it in as few sets as possible. You'll also test your bench press and overhead press, then perform Mike's iconic "Iron Marathon" protocol on the leg press. For the first four weeks, you very well might struggle to do the minimum in this program. That's OK—the minimum is the starting point on this journey. It will be brutal, but trust the program and follow it, and you will be ready for it. | Follow Mike Rashid | ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/2bd11U8 ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► Twitch: http://bit.ly/2q1dttE ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

At 31 years old Bill Janke reached a high of 423 lbs and was soon faced with a choice: Change or die. ► Shop JYM Supplements: https://bbcom.me/2L7E3Lq ► Shortcut to Shred: https://bbcom.me/2L9nZcb My name is Bill Janke and I'm from De Pere, Wisconsin. My journey started on July 10, 2014, when I went to the hospital with a sleep apnea injury. My "ah-ha" moment came when I stepped on the scale and saw that I weighed 423 pounds! How did I let myself get like this? Then the reality sank in that I was 31 years old and my obesity and destructive lifestyle were going to possibly send me to an early grave. I decided right then and there that I wanted to make a lifestyle change that would hopefully get me out of the hole that I had dug myself into for over 25 years. I eventually modified my diet slightly to align with Jim's Dieting 101 and found that the science behind the diet was effective and sustainable. Right around this time, I started exercising with a longtime friend; he mentioned he had just started using Jim Stoppani's programs and asked if I would join him while he was in the middle of the Super-Man program. Together, we've completed Super-Man, Jim's Giant Program, Six Weeks to Sick Arms, and The Daily Grind. Then I decided I wasn't quite done yet and wanted to achieve more. I set another goal to be at or below 7 percent body fat by September 18, 2016. Many people told me this was unattainable and I should quit because I had achieved so much already. When I heard these comments, it only made me want to reach my goal even more. My outlook on life has totally changed now. I want nothing more in this world than to pay it forward in any way I can to help others who would like to make lifestyle changes. I have made some great friends in the JYM Army Facebook group, and they're always willing to help anyone in need. Not only is this group knowledgeable, they are also the most positive people I have ever encountered. | JYM Supplement Science | ► Pro JYM: https://bbcom.me/2L5i7jY ► Pre JYM: https://bbcom.me/2L5ijQe ► Post JYM Active Matrix: https://bbcom.me/2L5iICe ► Post JYM Carb: https://bbcom.me/2L7rNe1 ► Mass JYM: https://bbcom.me/2L9kLW5 ► Vita JYM: https://bbcom.me/2L9kZfT ► Omega JYM: https://bbcom.me/2L9lkiF ► Shred JYM: https://bbcom.me/2L9oweb ► Alpha JYM: https://bbcom.me/2L86CIz ► ZMA JYM: https://bbcom.me/2L7EhCg | JYM Stacks & Bundles | ► Essential Stack: https://bbcom.me/2L70L6f ► JYM 30-Day System: https://bbcom.me/2L9F2e1 ► Legacy System Stack: https://bbcom.me/2L8KvSa ► Post JYM Stack: https://bbcom.me/2L9F6dL ► Pre JYM 60 Serving Stack: https://bbcom.me/2L974Gn ► Support Stack: https://bbcom.me/2L3EjLt ► System Stack Pro: https://bbcom.me/2L9lFBX | Follow Bill Janke | ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/billjanke72/ | Follow Jim Stoppani | ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/2D4MlPE ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JimStoppaniPhD/ ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimstoppani/ ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/JimStoppani ========================================­===== | Bodybuilding.com | ► Supplement Store: https://bbcom.me/2L9TRgS ► Sales & Specials: https://bbcom.me/2L7s14R ► Fitness Articles: https://bbcom.me/2L5Ucks ► Premium Fitness Plans: https://bbcom.me/2L3FACf ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► Twitch: http://bit.ly/2q1dttE ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

The slide from healthy young man to out-of-shape adult was long and painful. Finally, when his doctor and wife both called him out on his health, Chris Gromis knew it was time to change. ► Premium Fitness Plans: http://bbcom.me/2H8HTTv ► Shop Bodybuilding Signature Supplements: http://bbcom.me/2Ha8dg3 ► Read Chris Gromis's Body Transformation Story: http://bbcom.me/2HbfYSE There's a standing joke about people who can't walk and chew gum at the same time. At one point in life, the issue for Chris Gromis was not being able to walk and talk on the phone at the same time. Weighing nearly 300 pounds, he says he'd run out of breath. Then, he and his wife started a family, and he realized how his weight affected his ability to play with his kids. He took his doctor's advice to slim down. Today, Chris is happy to report that he's feeling so good that he joins his entire family for jiujitsu classes. According to Chris, he feels like a new man. | What Were You Like Before You Transformed? | I was in great shape when I was younger. Growing up, I loved being outside. As kids, we'd go down to the river and swim, ride our bikes everywhere. I didn't like staying on the couch watching TV or playing video games, I always wanted to do something active. When I turned 18, I started making bad choices with my life. I started partying and drinking, and all that fitness stuff—all the outdoor stuff—went out the window. Between the ages of 18 and 21, I gained 35 pounds. Later, I got a job that involved traveling. Staying in hotels and eating fast food added up to another 30 pounds. After I got married, I just continued the cycle and went up to 286 pounds. | What Was The Hardest Part About Getting Started | I love carbs and cake and little snacks here and there. Giving that up was definitely the most difficult thing for me. I'm also an emotional eater, so when I was feeling down it was hard not to turn to food for comfort. I had to stick to a strict plan so I wouldn't fall off the wagon. It wasn't easy. I kept failing. I'd say to myself, "OK, I'm going to have a cheat meal." Two days later, I'd do the same thing. I remember finally just looking at my wife and saying, "I need a gym membership. I need to start doing this, and I need your help to keep me accountable." She said, "OK, but you're not going to like it at all." She ended up being a real inspiration to me, always helping me through the rough times, helping me stay on the right track. I was inspired by my kids, too. I didn't want them to pick up any of my bad habits. There were so many times I'd still slip up with my diet, but I didn't let those mess-ups define my journey. I set small goals and strived to reach them. Often I wanted to just quit and grab a whole cake and eat it. But my family was far more important to me than food and laziness. | Bodybuilding.com Signature Supplements & Clothing | ► Signature 100% Whey Protein: http://bbcom.me/2H8tLtc ► Signature Pre Workout: http://bbcom.me/2H8tWom ► Signature Amino Plus Energy: http://bbcom.me/2H8ug6y ► Signature BCAA: http://bbcom.me/2H8uuuq ► Signature Fish Oil: http://bbcom.me/2Hc92F4 ► Signature Creatine Monohydrate: http://bbcom.me/2Hc9bbA ► Signature Multivitamin: http://bbcom.me/2HbfdsH ► Bodybuilding.com Clothing: http://bbcom.me/2H8I15r ========================================­===== | Bodybuilding.com | ► Supplement Store: http://bbcom.me/2H9rqOJ ► Sales & Specials: http://bbcom.me/2H8uyua ► Fitness Articles: http://bbcom.me/2Hbffkj ► Premium Fitness Plans: http://bbcom.me/2H8HTTv ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► Twitch: http://bit.ly/2q1dttE ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

Peter Georgopoulos's own weight problems didn't seem to bother him enough to spur a change. Then, his son started heading in the same direction, and it was time to step up. ► Premium Fitness Plans: http://bbcom.me/2nsa1Zr ► Shop Bodybuilding Signature Supplements: http://bbcom.me/2nngTr1 ► Peter Georgopoulos's Full Transformation Story: http://bbcom.me/2DPuTjo "Honey, you shrunk my pants!" That's what Peter Georgopoulos wanted to yell at his wife in the weeks after a back injury left him unable to exercise. Not that he had been that big on exercise before, but that injury sent him spiraling down a path to major pain—and major weight gain. Later, he would watch in disbelief as his son seemed to be following the same path. Only then did Peter make up his mind to change. | How Did You Hurt Your Back? | In the early 2000s, I was walking down some wet stairs outside of work and lost my footing. I tried to catch myself but ended up just throwing out my lower back. After a few days of rest, I was reassigned to light duty at work. Then, I had another work accident and hurt my upper back. From that point on, I became nearly incapacitated. If something fell to the ground, I had to just leave it there. I couldn't even bend over. | When Did It Hit Home That You Needed To Change The Way You Were Living? | I remember one time I complained to my wife that she was shrinking my pants. That's when it really hit me how heavy I had become. I felt bad about my weight, but I would comfort myself by eating, which of course added more weight and put more pressure on my back. It got to the point where my doctor told me my vertebrae were fusing naturally to support my weight. At the time, my weight fluctuated between 300-410 pounds. | What Was The Spark That Made You Want To Transform? | It started on the day my son was severely injured in a school bus accident. Up until that moment, he had been a very athletic kid. His games and practices were the center of our lives. He would go to school, come home, do his homework, eat dinner, and then we were off to the gym for him. | How Did You Begin Your Transformation? | I didn't have a plan. I just came home one day and literally threw out all our food. I mean it. I opened the pantry, the cupboards, and the refrigerator, tossed everything into plastic bags and stuffed them all in the trash. My son watched me go on this rampage and was scared because he thought I was mad at him. In my mind, though, I was trying to save him. | Bodybuilding.com Signature Supplements & Clothing | ► Signature 100% Whey Protein: http://bbcom.me/2BFWBNz ► Signature Pre Workout: http://bbcom.me/2nngTY3 ► Signature Amino Plus Energy: http://bbcom.me/2FyXeLb ► Signature BCAA: http://bbcom.me/2BGwO8b ► Signature Fish Oil: http://bbcom.me/2E1i490 ► Signature Creatine Monohydrate: http://bbcom.me/2E10PVo ► Signature Multivitamin: http://bbcom.me/2npsTrM ► Bodybuilding.com Clothing: http://bbcom.me/2nuMkPu ========================================­===== | Bodybuilding.com | ► Supplement Store: http://bbcom.me/2rZ733m ► Sales & Specials: http://bbcom.me/2BGwOVJ ► Fitness Articles: http://bbcom.me/2FyBA9U ► Premium Fitness Plans: http://bbcom.me/2nsa1Zr ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► Twitch: http://bit.ly/2q1dttE ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

Sharon Wigger has faced teenage motherhood, comfort eating, family tragedy, and humiliation, yet still found a way to triumph. Now, she's ready to help others do the same. Read Sharon Wigger's Body Transformation Story ► http://bbcom.me/2DHJwWD Premium Fitness Plans ► http://bbcom.me/2DJDULP Bodybuilding.com Signature Supplements ► http://bbcom.me/2DHOoLB Sharon Wigger had an eating disorder as a teen, but two successive pregnancies after high school left her overweight, not underweight, and feeling depressed. As a 21-year-old, her 5-foot-3-inch frame was carrying around 200 pounds at 48 percent body fat. Nothing happens overnight, but the turning point came in 2015, when she entered a Bodybuilding.com transformation contest. Eventually, at age 26, she got down to 113 pounds and 11-percent body fat. If you're reading this, you might be looking for a turning point yourself. Wigger's personal tips, techniques, and inspiring anecdotes might be just the guidance you need to transform in 2018. | Why Did You Decide To Transform? | In high school, I was very fit. Before that, in junior high, I even played on the boys' football and basketball teams. Then, I got away from sports and into a battle with an eating disorder. I developed this mindset that any pant size above a 6 was unacceptable to me. I'd do just about anything to stay slim. A year and a half after I graduated, I had my first son and my weight skyrocketed to 200 pounds. I was a single teenage mother with no friends and a bad case of postpartum depression. I simply didn't care about my health or my weight anymore. At that time, I was working the overnight shift as a patient access representative at a local hospital. One night, I went to Taco Bell and bought about $20 worth of food and snacked on it all night long. I was getting ready to eat yet another burrito when I overheard a couple of nurses laughing and joking about the way I looked. At first, I was really hurt, but deep down I knew I needed to change. I had been using food to comfort myself during my pregnancy, and it had gotten out of hand. A moment later, I surprised and inspired myself by thinking, "Sharon, you can do this. You know what you're doing is wrong—and you know you can change it. Put the food down and let's do this." So, I started my journey.

A little dad bod is cool, but when James Holliman's torso started looking like a group of dad bods, he knew it was time to get back to his good old ways. Premium Fitness Plans ► http://bbcom.me/2B5xN5P Coupons & Promos ► http://bbcom.me/2B7eOYF James Holliman Transformation Story ► http://bbcom.me/2B6ne2D As a young lad, James Holliman was a jock, both wresting and throwing discus for his high school teams. When he reached college, his interest in physical fitness continued. He became certified as a personal trainer and spent more time than ever in the gym working out with weights. But like so many others, when Holliman moved on from college, he moved on from fitness, too. Years of taking clients out to eat, lots of business travel, and long hours at his desk took a toll on his body. Before he knew it, he looked in the mirror and saw it: the dreaded dad bod. | What Made You Want To Transform? | I had three big reasons. One was the way I looked in the mirror. Whenever I took off my shirt off at the beach or pool, I felt self-conscious. I also noticed that my energy levels were way down, which is bad news when you have three sons who want someone to get down on their knees and play with them. Overall, I felt overweight, tired, and mentally dull. I was also having problems with high cholesterol. The doctor literally got in my face and told me I needed to get on statins and stay on them for the rest of my life. My father took statins for much of his adult life, which I don't think was good for his health. I wanted to do all I could to not let that happen to me. I wanted to get in shape and lower my cholesterol the right way, through nutrition and exercise. The third reason is a roundabout story. I decided to start my own gym. I wanted to provide a more service-oriented model for people like me who had demanding jobs but wanted hands-on support for their own transformations. When I started building the gym, I was working full time in technology. I put in a lot of super-long hours and ate badly. Some of the personal trainers in my own gym were talking behind my back about how I was in such bad physical shape. It came to a head when I was trying to help a couple of trainers write programs for interval-training classes. I noticed they didn't really want to take my advice. I'm sure they looked at my size and didn't think I knew what I was talking about. I'm a trainer. I like training people. I like helping people reach their goals. But when you don't look the part, it makes it tough. So, I had some good reasons to change, and jumped at the challenge to show people what the programs I was offering at my gym could do. | How Did You Start Your Transformation? | I started by looking at the past winners of the challenge for inspiration. When I looked at their before-and-after pictures, I thought to myself, "If these guys did it, I can do it." I started seeing results midway through the challenge—after I had been doing it for a little over a month. Interestingly, because even though I'd been working out with weights off and on for a long time, I had so much fat on me that I didn't know what I looked like underneath it all. Once I started losing the fat, I saw that I had a decent shape. I remember thinking to myself that if I could just focus on getting as lean as possible, I might have a good shot at doing well in the challenge. That's when I cranked it up. ========================================­===== | Recommended Supplements | Dymatize Iso-100 ► http://bbcom.me/2B7ZBH1 - Hydrolyzed 100% Whey Protein Isolate - A delicious, ultra-pure, fast-absorbing whey protein isolate to support muscle growth.* Dymatize Amino Pro ► http://bbcom.me/2B9v37q - Advanced BCAA Formula Plus Caffeine for Increased Energy.* - Muscle Support, Hydration and Recovery with No Dyes* Dymatize Creatine Micronized ► http://bbcom.me/2B89mF3 - 5g of 100% Pure Micronized Creatine Monohydrate - Get the Most Strength and Power from Your Workouts* ========================================­===== | Bodybuilding.com | Sales & Specials ► http://bbcom.me/2q1djSY Fitness Articles ► http://bbcom.me/2q1p7Vq #1 Online Supplement Store ► http://bbcom.me/2q1os6y Free Fitness Plans ► http://bbcom.me/2q1dhKU #1 Women's Fitness Site ► http://bbcom.me/2q1ouvc ========================================­===== | Follow Us | Twitch ► http://bit.ly/2q1dttE YouTube ► http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 Facebook ► http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr Instagram ► http://bit.ly/1LzBxab Twitter ► http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL Google+ ► http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu Pinterest ► http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 Spotify ► http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.
