I hear it in the gym and out and about all the time... "I shouldn't be eating this, but it's okay, I worked out today." or "I really have to kill it on the treadmill this morning, I need to burn off that burger from last night." Once and for all guys...truly, truly, truly...YOU CANNOT WORK OFF AN UNHEALTHY DIET.  It's not gonna happen! ; ) Check out this great article I came across that really lays it out for you! 2 1/2 hours of swimming to burn off a Big Mac, 1 hour of hill climbs with 20-40 pound weights to work off the calories from a Starbucks LOWFAT (did you see the LOWFAT part?) Mocha. Biggest take away is, make your indulgences worth it and keep it to special occasions...make it an exception to your daily nutrition not a habit.  Those extra calories do add up and it is much harder to burn them off than you think!  SO much easier to eat healthy and maintain a consistent fitness regime. Eat clean and train mean...it is the way to live healthy, happy and FIT!
