i remember the first couple years of when i first started working out on a consistent basis and was just trying to gain weight fast food was my nutrition plan lol. everyday right before training i would go to mcdonalds because it was right beside the gym (lancerlot,vinton va) and have 2 double cheese burgers at the time they were 1$ a piece and i had no clue about nutrition so to me it was a win win situation. this morning i came across this article and wanted to share with everyone. needless to say i DO NOT eat fast food daily anymore but i do like an occasional big mac every once in a while. so here is the top 20. just be aware next time you want fast food what exactly your putting into your body...it's JUNK!

Health Benefits of Grapefruit

grapefruit Health Benefits of Grapefruit

Grapefruit is very helpful in removing or dissolving inorganic calcium which may have formed in the cartilage of the joints, as in arthritis, as a result of an excessive consumption of devitalized white flour products. Fresh grapefruit contains organic salicylic acid, which aids in dissolving such inorganic calcium in the body. Grapefruit can help in weight loss, since it is low in sodium, high in fat burning enzymes. Low sodium intake can help flush out excess water that is caused by high sodium food. Grapefruit has high water content, and an increased water consumption can help increase metabolism. Rich source of Vitamin C, rich in lycopene (the red color/pigment), it helps to prevent the occurance of tumor and cancer.
It is a liver tonic
Helps in cases of Gallstones
Helps in cases of Cold, Pneumonia, Fever
It is a powerful drug-poison eliminator
Helps in proper digestion of food
Can help improve complexion
Grapefruit is a natural antiseptic for wounds when used externally.

7. 9:15pm 1.5 turkey patties

the reason for meal number 5 was that i had been out running errands and had very low calories all day and at that point i started to fade out. everytime i get this hungry i always get heat flashes and just feel horrible. i had to pop into publix for a couple things before heading home and i was just going to get some sushi first but the selection wasn’t good. so a footlong on whole wheat sub it was. boars head turkey,tomato,lettus,onion,jalepinos,spicy mustard..delish! here is a picture of my current progress taken on saturday. i'm weighing 200lb on a empty stomach in the am. i'm going to make a few more adjustments this week to keep the progress coming along. i'm close to where i want to be and maintain.
