As I sit here at my day job dreaming about training I came upon this awesome article written by nate green. Yeah the mens health guru, t-nation golden boy, and training fanatic. Check it out at his website www.thenategreenexperience.com. Enjoy!
I think that it literally spoke! It kind of sounded like Eddie Griffin in Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo. 
“C’mon man, you got to indulge and treat yourself every now and again!”
I sat in the Burger King parking lot staring at the luminous and radiant glow of the Drive thru open sign. The sweet but sickening aroma of grease penetrated the vents in my car with ease, filling my truck cab up with an intoxicating smell.
“You already know what your going to order fool! Just do it already. It will all be over soon!”
My stomach was starting to sound really convincing. It’s argument flowed out effortlessly and left a sting with each statement.
Five minutes had gone by. An elderly couple dining in took notice of me sitting in my truck and began sending glares in 25 second intervals. Do I drive thru, to exit with a glorious meal that will clog my arteries, store fat in my stomach, and send my blood sugar levels screaming. Is their even another path out of this predicament, hope was fading fast and my stomach was about to take an inevitable victory. 
The monotonous beep of my blackberry never sounded so ethereal. It resonated in my ear as if the note was blown out of an angel’s trumpet. It signaled a text message.
I opened it. It was from my boss and training partner.
Training tonight at 8 pm mo*th*rfu*k*rs.
I put my truck in gear and drove straight home.
I am writing this not to tell you what to do but to motivate you to start doing what you already know you should do. It’s time to make the vital changes in your diet to assist with your training. Yeah the High Intensity training is helping you burn fat and the circuits are making you strong, but the pizza is not helping. Here are some easy ways to start changing.
1.) Get rid of Sugars and Simple starches:
This mainly means soda, candy, cookies, chips, sauces, dips, spreads, fruit drinks, fruit juices from concentrate, etc. etc. If it makes you happy and reminds you of your childhood, chances are it’s not good for you. Sorry!
2.) Eat more often
This doesn’t mean eat 5 huge meals. It means eat portion sized, healthy and fresh meals that will help you curb your appetite. Instead of missing breakfast, gorging on a late lunch and finally ending your day with a late dinner because you weren’t hungry for a long time because of that big lunch. Does this sound familiar? Yeah that’s what I thought, don’t worry, lift your head up. It will be okay. You can change starting now!
3.) Eat more Lean Protein
Protein builds muscle and burns fat! Need I say more. Fresher is better so go eat some chicken, Bison, elk, beef, bass, tuna, anchovy, caviar, squid, trout, salmon, shrimp, octopus, halibut, Venison, and yeah. Eat lean protein. 
4.) Fresh fruits and Vegetables
Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and fiber. All good for a healthy body. You would be a fool to avoid these. I bet there a lot of fools reading right now huh? 
5.) Drink more water. Then drink some more.
Your body needs it to function properly period. End of statement. No info. You want some go read something somewhere else. I am tired of writing about drinking water.
Use 5 tools to help you start making a change in your nutrition. I guarantee that you will see results by leaps and bounds. Don’t think that a diet of diet coke, cheetos, and frozen dinners is going to help you get the results you desire. Nutrition is the change you need and I know you will be able to do it.
MMA Combat Conditioning 
Black dots decorated my vision with Picasso-esque style accompanied by a dangerous but enjoyable light headedness. Creeping up with fox like slyness was an overwhelming feeling in the lower intestine that would soon trigger an explosion either out the mouth or butt. After a 3 minute recovery, my lungs were still working overtime trying to bring my oxygen deprived body what it craved. The lifeless bodies on the floor from the next group signaled another round for mine. “Shit!” All my energy was focused on ignoring what my body was screaming “Give UP!” and telling my brain “Hold on!” because I had two more rounds in hell. MMA Combat Conditioning is officially here.
