Fat Fitness Instructors - An Epidemic in American Gyms

This is like an open letter to fitness instructors, whether you teach a class or are a personal trainer. If you are fat and over weight, please let me know how this is possible. I see you in every gym I go to. You are leading a class, working your butt off, burning hundreds of calories, but yet you are still fat as shit! Do you drive through Dunkin Donuts for your post workout meal? That being 12 jelly filled donuts? Or is it McDonald's and 2 Big Macs with a side of fries and Diet Coke...you know, it's gotta be "diet" because you are a fitness instructor and all. This is a serious question that I have know the answer to. Calories in vs. Calories out. I can tell you are burning hundreds of calories during your classes, so what exactly are you eating in order to pack in that many excess calories in a day?

Secondly, this is for all the people who pay these instructors. Why? Why would you pay for the advice of someone who clearly doesn't practice what the preach? Do you ever question if they even know what they are talking about or are qualified to give you advice? Would you hire a financial advisor on Welfare? Or an anorexic chef? I'm at a loss here and I need your help in understanding.

Finally, one last pet peeve. If you are a personal trainer with a good physique, but are taking more drugs than A-Rod and denying it...you sir are an asshole. You are living a lie and selling an impossible dream to your clients. Just be upfront and honest about it, take a page from Bostin Loyd's book and you will be more respected.

To sum it up...to all the fat fitness instructors and juice head 'bro' personal trainers...take responsibility. Fitness instructors, take responsibility for your diet, just like you do your workouts. Personal trainers on drugs, try educating yourself first, with knowledge you may be able to achieve the physique you want without the drugs. If being a monster is what you want, then by all means juice away. Just don't lie to your clients and lead them to believe they can achieve the same result as you if they take all of your diet and training advice.

The Top 6 Things I hate about Quest Bars

1. The varieties of flavors. Having less choices sure would make life easier when it's that time to purchase a new box.
2. When asked, "What's your favorite flavor". C'mon man, seriously! That's like asking a mother to choose her favorite child.

3. When somebody wants to share. This is my Quest bar and I'm going to enjoy every last crumb. Uggg, the nerve of people! Go get your own!
4. When a newbie who has just discovered Quest bars tries to tell you all about them. I'm like, "Duh! I've been eatin' Quest bars since you were just a twinkle in you're daddy's eye." No really, it's like these people who just discovered the Internet and want to show you every "David the Dentist" video on YouTube. SMH!

5. The last bite. Do I really need to explain this one? It's like the last day of vacation. "Ain't nobody got time for dat."
6. I lied, there's only 5. Top 6 sounded way cooler than top 5. I learned from Buzzfeed. Ever wonder why their list are never perfectly neat numbers like 5, 10, 15, etc? It's because you expect to see top 5, top 10, but not top 6 or top 17.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Quest Bar Sandwich Recipe

Here's an easy recipe for a high protein peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This recipe can be easily modified to be low carb too, just use low carb/sugar free jelly. 

- 1 Peanut Butter Supreme Quest Bar
- Jelly of your choice. I used Organic Grape Jelly

Start by microwaving the Quest Bar so it's soft enough to flatten (about 10 to 20 seconds). Cut in half and form into the shape of bread slices for added visual effect. Bake your Peanut Butter Quest "Bread" slices for about 7 minutes or until brown on bottom. You could actually skip this step and it would still be good. The texture would be chewy as opposed to crispy. Finally, add jelly and enjoy!

I have some other ideas for Quest Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches as well, I just haven't had time to try them yet. One is to use a Quest Peanut Butter and Jelly bar as my 'slices' and fill the middle with real peanut butter and jelly. The other idea is to do the same, but fill the middle with half a Quest Peanut Butter Supreme bar and half a Quest Mixed Berry Bliss bar as my 'jelly'. Both of those bars would be heated to make them gooey and that would make a 100% Quest Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich! Yum!!
