Gain Muscle With Junk Food


What do hamburgers, pizza, and burritos all have in common? If you think tha they’re all junk foods that you shouldn’t eat, you’re wrong.  Turns out, all of these “bad” foods can actually be part of a healthy diet that will rev up your metabolism and blast fat. Don’t believe us? Consider this: A study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health found that men who ate twice as many calories in a day as they normally did increased their metabolism by 9 percent in the following 24 hours.  The upshot: It’s your license to eat whatever you want once a week, one of the driving principles of the Abs Diet. Of course, the rest of time, you want make the smart choices that allow you to enjoy the foods you love, but without overloading your body with calories. Here are three ways to just that:  *Always choose the best burger, no matter where you eat. *Thinking about pizza should conjure up images of fresh olive oil and spicy pepperoni—not puddles of grease. You can make your own, too. *Eating your favorite south-of-the-border food shouldn’t leave you feeling guilty.
