Steve wrote a great blog “You Can’t Run Off the Pounds” for Designer Whey this week. It hits on some of the major misconceptions behind training for weight loss. If you think you can just run the weight off, his blog will make you think again.

Read his short blog and then take a look at how easy it is to replace the calories burned in one 3-mile run. If you aren’t careful, you could be erasing your hard work in just a few gulps!

10 Items that Would Erase a 3 Mile Run

1. 1 24 oz Coke
2. 1 Plain Bagel
3. 2.25 oz of Plain Tortilla Chips
4. 2 Beers or 2 Glasses of Wine
5. 3 Tbsp of Peanut Butter
6. 3 Slices of Cheddar Cheese
7. 4 Tbsp of Ranch Dressing
8. 2 oz of Almonds
9. 1 30-gram protein bar
10. 1 Iced Caramel Macchiato 
    

If you’ve been relying on your workouts to work off your weight, maybe it’s time to make some changes.

* Calories burned during a 3 mile run is based on the average weight and intensity burning 100 calories per mile.
