I cant explain how frustrating it is to have someone come up to me to tell me I look great and want to know a "trick" or "secret" to have arms like me, etc. There is maybe 1 out of 10 that actually want to change their health or appearance, the rest really just have excuses lined up. Example: I had a guy walk up to ask me how I got so lean. I told him I have a strict meal plan that I follow and I make sure to consume at least a gallon of water a day. His response "I dont drink a lot of water because I dont want to look bloated" UMMMM really?? He proceeded to tell me that it was ok though because he drinks Gatorade and diet ice tea during the day to stay hydrated. I stared at him for a bit and then told him that the only way to flush out toxins, sodium, etc was to drink water. If he needed flavor, add slices of fruit, etc to the water. Although a lot of the drinks like Gatorade dont have an extremely high sodium content on their own, considering the daily recommended amount of sodium is 1500 mg you are taking it in when you dont need to. Everything is a balance. If you enjoy a flavored drink or ice tea, have one. Not in place of water but as a treat. So, after talking about how important water is and how I stay away from high sodium and fatty foods...he asks me what to eat when he goes to Burger King. I just walked away.
