does anybody have any suggestions on how to become a better t-man at work? I have a friend who is an architect for Michael Graves. Sometimes he works long hours where he sits alot. His workout program is fine, it’s just after he lost the first 30lbs his results stopped due to a poor diet. He eats sweedish fish and crap like that during his 12 hour days cause it is convenient. I told him that is total bull and that he will never achieve his goals unless he cleans up his diet. Any suggestions for this guy on how to eat better at work?
Bring healthy foods.
Depends on what diet you (or your buddy) is on, but it’s easy and nearly effortless to bring string cheese, cottage cheese, mixed nuts, protein bars (gasp!,) protein drinks, tuna, salmon, etc.
I’m an accountant that is at a desk or on the road most everyday…I have no problem staying away from swedish fish and staying on track.
I too have a desk job with long hours. I was worried about this coming out of college being so active. I keep protein powder/bars, hard boiled eggs in the fridge, and I eat every three hours(Clean). I would tell your friend to not give in to the sugary fixes. Try cutting the carbs a bit too, since sitting all day. These have helped me, hopefully your friend can benefit from them as well? Good luck
I’m an architect too.
In regards to diet I make sure I have prepared all my meals in advance. If it means making my meals the night before than so be it. Diet is still the number one aspect of life. I usually consume some tuna sandwhiches or salads with some meat eg. Roast beef or chicken or even salmon from a can etc. I usually roast up some meat and use it for the next couple of days with some salad or grab a bag of frozen veggies, put them in a container and heat it up when you get to work, add some tuna and linseed and you have a great lunch.
i find that looking up cheerleaders dresses really boosts my T levels.
Hey guys, thanks alot for the ideas. I e-mailed them to him (minus the cheerleader idea) and a couple of my other friends who are office people too.
I get the Mike Mahler Aggressive Strength Newsletter wherein he advocates taking three or four workout breaks of bodyweight exercises throughout each day. It only takes a few minutes at a time and will help physically as well as mentally.
