If you are anything like me and 90% of most people, we all have one thing in common: we are always on the go! I know myself, my busy lifestyle and my traveling schedule sometimes requires me to surrender to a whole lot of restaurant eating and finding healthy options outside my own refrigerator.
But sometimes this is easier said than done. Lewis, I know you can relate.

There is absolutely nothing worse than being hungry (well, being tired, sick, and stressed are all pretty up there), but hunger just takes the cake – no pun intended

Let me explain what I mean.
Arnold Schwarzenegger made a movie a while time ago called “Stay Hungry.” Only a handful of people saw it.
I was one of them.
I loved the idea of “staying hungry” — of never sitting on your rear end too long… of never being totally comfortable… and of always progressing.
