I spoke about the Villanous, Gluttenous, Barbarous Bozo the other day …

This ain’t so much about him though as a question to YOU, friend.

When YOU see  a huge plate of YUMMY FOOD in front of you – healthy or not – whats your first thought – or instinct?

If you’re like the FBI agents in the Rock where Sean Connery (the convict they let out to help the Navy Seals get into Alcatraz unnoticed to battle a room ful of Marines full of T led by a Gung Ho General (yes, I know – its just a movie, but it was FUN!)) orders a whole bunch of food and snacks to the hotel room they let him have for a while to shower and get into a suit or what not (and the infamous “Grunge” haircut hehe) to throw the FBI agents off his tail …

(they were right there in the room with him as he was showering. But, they were getting sick of “supervising an old man”).

And as Connery rightly predicted, once the tableful of food and snacks showed up?

They got to eating, and forgot all about the person they were supposed to be guarding.

“Room service”, asks Connery. “Snacks, food, you know …”

They do indeed send it all!

And as the camera pans to tables lined with lobster, cake or what not (Connery got the best hotel in town for a coupla hours) – they show the FBI agents stuffing their gullet while connery was getting a hairdo or something outside from a gay dude.

Their immediate supervisor shows up.

“Hey. Don’t you ever stop eating”, he ribs his colleagues.

“Not when it’s free!” chortles the other guy (like the Bozo, hehe). 

“I mean come on, you’re supposed to be on duty” supervisor goes, but you can see his heart is not in it.

“Oh, come on” says “free food dude”. “Boss’s watching!” 

“Hes an old man. Come, try some of this lobster!”

Anyway, Connery escapes. And the movie, well, you’ve probably seen it.

But that ain’t why it’s good to resist the urge to be a glutton – even when it’s free. Hehe.

That ain’t how either.

Thats part of it, yeah. If you’re doing a job, you’re doing a job! But there’s more …

A student of mine Grace often used to take me out to fancy lunches and the like.

Now, this is Rahul Mookerjee and he does NOT , period, NOT eat lunch with his students in China.

Unless its either Carol or Grace, of course. AS mentioned in the above link, hehe.

Anyway, I remember that one time when Grace took me to a 5 star nearby, and we ATE.

Oh my, we ate.

She must have gained about 5 kgs, and not eaten for a week after that, yours truly probably 10, but I lost it all, of course – those were the Eat More – Weigh Less days!

But I remember how I felt after all the meat, cheese, cakes etc…

Like SLEEPING.

I was supposed to teach Tracy, a student English (yes, her of 0 Excuses Fitness “fame”) in a few hours.

Man oh man, I could barely keep awake with the A/C on full blast…

Then when I’m with my wife, she’ll often ask me “what I want for lunch” or something.

I’ll ask what my daughter wants. And what she wants. Hehe.

And then the decision is made.

In the past, I’d gorge on ALL She cooked, and to the detriment of my tummy – and waistline.

But as of late, and these days, or for the past few years I’d say actually, when confronted with delicious food, and believe me, Indian food is nothing short of tongue licking DELICIOUS! – I pause.

It’s hard!

But I think of this –

What will happen tomorrow. 

How will I FEEL tomorrow! 

Believe me, this is hard to do if you haven’t eaten well in a while, or if you’re not used to five star hotel buffets or even Barnhills’s buffet or what not…

but assuming you are, and most are (well. not the 5 star, but the rest of it!) …

There’s no excuse NOT to think of the above.

Sadly, precious few people actually DO think of the above.

They jump in, gorge anyway, which I dont blame them, but … the next day. Oh my!

Personally, I know this.

My own diet advice is contrarian and extreme to a T and I wrote about that yesterday.

But hell, it flat out WORKS.

It’ll work for you too, if you let it, friend (so you SHOULD read the Simple and Effective Diet).

(yours gratis with a purchase of the 0 Excuses Fitness System, of course (digital download that is))

But really, I think of my workouts too which are done best with LESS food – the more intense it is, the less I eat!

True, I ‘ll gorge at night if I have to, but for the most part, I’d rather have less food than more.

And its usually the “yum” choices that are the WORST in terms of Bozo like constant burping, farting, “running to the toilet” as he did that night about 10 times, flatulence, IBS and more…

So where am I going with all this.

Control, friend, is key.

Control thy MIND.

IT makes all the decisions!

And remember that the tasty food won’t run away – you can always have more of it later.

EARN That meal first though, as Brooks Kubik wrote about me in 2005, all those years ago!

“And he should. He’s earned it!”

I sure had, Brooks. So did YOU!

And that, my friend is that.

Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Lumberjack Fitness workouts will make you hungry as a horse. BIG TIME! Trust me, these twists and turns do more than work the muscles – you’ll develop an iron core very quick with all the twists, and turns, and if you combine with Corrugated Core, you’ll soon have elbows and punches flying off your midsection as if it was a brick wall (like happens to me).

Get these NOW!
