Slim & Strong September Winners!

We had two more Slim & Strong groups finish last week. My participants in September were quite dedicated to making their twice or three times weekly workout and eating clean. Those that cleaned up their diet and ate mostly lean protein and vegetables saw the greatest results. Those that didn't forgo sugar, starches and alcohol saw fewer results. I say this time after time: 80-90% of your fat loss is the result of a clean diet. You cannot undo poor eating by working out. Yes, added calories help you build muscle, which makes you leaner, but you cannot burn body fat by eating loads of sugar, starch and drinking alcohol. No amount of exercise can create the progress you want, so always make sure you put effective exercise and a clean diet together to get to your goal body. It's worth it!
