6 Pack Bags Fitness Feature: Rovie Flores Pt. 2
In our first Fitness Feature with Rovie Flores, you learned about how this 25-year-old Phillipines native completely turned his life around through exercise. As any fitness freak knows, it takes more than just killing it in the gym to create a new body and complete a life-altering transformation. Fortunately for Rovie, he has an iron will and kept a strict commitment to his new diet, thanks in part to some help from his trusty 6 Pack Bag. Read on to find out how he learned to plan his meals, maintain his diet and use his meal management system to his benefit.
What has using a 6 Pack Bag done for your diet?
The 6 Pack Bag has been helping me out with my diet and food maintenance. I am very active and always on the go and if I didn't have the bag, there is no way I could manage and keep track of my food intake. Putting my meals in my bag keeps it fresh and accessible when I need to it. Also, I am able to enjoy drinking my post-workout shakes since the bag has a feature where it keeps my beverages chilled.
I eat every two to three hours so wherever I am when its time for me to eat, I have my meals ready. This saves me time and money because I don't have to search for healthy food and buy expensive restaurant meals. Preparing meals every night became a daily routine for me. Since I bought my 6 Pack Bags, I never had to ask myself, "What am I going to eat for lunch?" I have been reading on a lot of forums that "abs are made in the kitchen." Having the bag with me at all times is perfect because it allows me to focus more on my diet, and I strictly follow my meal plan.
What's your meal prep process like?
I usually prepare all my meats on Sunday night and store them in a big Tupperware container. To keep my vegetables fresh, I steam, grill, or boil them the night before. This system has been efficient for me because it saves me time from preparing full meals every night. I have become so accustomed to this and it really has become my daily routine. As soon as I get home from work, I wash my Sure Seal Containers, cook my veggies and prepare my meals!
Are there any recipes you've created for your 6 Pack Bag?
I've learned a few recipes since I started using the 6 Pack Bag. I grill my meat using a portable grill. I've noticed a huge improvement in my performance after I eliminated red meats in my diet so I eat mostly seafood, chicken breast and turkey. I use Mrs. Dash and garlic powder to add flavor to my foods.
My coworkers call me "The Asparagus Man" since asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables and I eat it almost everyday. I like to grill my veggies with no seasonings because I use them as carbs instead of rice or pasta. The 6 Pack Bag is perfect for me because I eat six to seven meals a day and my bag holds up to three meals, protein shakes, supplements and snacks. It is my go-to bag when I need something related to nutrition.
How do you keep motivated when it comes to eating right and working out?
I keep myself motivated to work out and eating right because I love this lifestyle. Also, my grandfather died at 45, due to cardiac arrest. He was diagnosed with Diabetes at an early age. I am very proud of my accomplishments and I want to continue living this way. I wake up every day feeling great and knowing I am fit and healthy inside and out. I want to continue this forever because I would like to set a good example for my loved ones, friends and my future kids.
