If you are what you eat...

I have personally always loved that quote. I have made many crude references to what men would want to be if that were true... But at the end of it all, that quote is very true, you are what you eat.

Let me explain this. If you eat take out food. Processed food, and fatty foods, you are essentially overweight and even if you are not, your liver and arteries will be clogged and full of fat, just like the food you have consumed.

On the flip side, if you eat many colourful fruits and veggies, whole grains and lean protein (animal or otherwise) you will have a body full of proper nutrients and essential elements to leading an active life. I assure you that if you eat many colours throughout the day, you will have more energy, your energy level will not crash and you will seem happier, allowing your personality to shine. That makes you a colourful individual (you can roll your eyes here if you wish).

You want to lean out and get a bit skinnier? Sounds good, eat foods that are very lean such as tuna, chicken breast, baked beans, and make sure to get lots of fibre in there too. You eat lean food in the right quantities at the right times, you shall get lean... you are what you eat.

Ok, so you are too skinny and want to add some size, no problem. Whole grains, dairy products and a bit more protein will help you get that way. You are eating fuller foods, and you too shall fill out without risking your health.
