1 Potato, 2 Potatoes, 3 Potatoes…FOUR?!!!
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Apparently, Mama was on to something when she chimed, “All that meat and No potatoes.” As most teens and young adults, I disregarded her apparent algorithm, unbeknownst to her. I achieved competition level leanness – eating a whole lot of meat and very little potatoes. ‘Twas the classic low carb, high protein diet. But, as I prepare to enter the 2008 Competition season, the said carbohydrate and family members are friends of mine
No wives’ tale as it is true… “Bread makes the booty spread.” Within 6 weeks, I’ve grown an inch ‘here’ and a half inch ‘there’. Specifically, I’ve gained 1/2 “on my thighs and 1 full inch of hips. Yes, to my hubby’s satisfaction, I have them now. [Hold on Baby! (lol)] Whoa! Not only are both bigger, but BOTH measure greater than pre-injury status. Why? 1 potato, 2 potatoes 3 potatoes and sometimes 4 per day. And don’t forget the power of bread!
Broccoli and egg whites will forever be staples in the competition diet of body building and fitness. But, as I look forward to my much anticipated continued success of growth and symmetry again, I salute CARBOHYDRATES, the body’s primary source of fuel. Carbs…Rock On!!!
