But <em>The Football Diet<\/em> helps you feel great physically and mentally over the long haul. It trains you in a balanced approach with both offense and defense, and it coaches you to accept fumbles as just part of the game.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>if you\u2019ve ever fumbled on your diet and headed to the sidelines in shame&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>if you\u2019ve given up after playing offense for months on end&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>if you\u2019ve ever played poor defense after reaching your goal&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s time for a new game plan.<\/p>\n<h1>Highlight Reel<\/h1>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zoYxzt3CluQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s your quickstart guide to the Football Diet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Offense &amp; Defense. <\/strong>Every week you\u2019re either on offense or on defense. During an offense week, you\u2019re trying to lose one pound. During a defense week, you\u2019re trying to not gain weight. Offense weeks help you lose weight. Defense weeks give you a break without losing ground, and they set you up to maintain a healthy weight over the long haul.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special Teams.<\/strong> Every now and then, you need to punt. On days like Super Bowl Sunday and Thanksgiving Day, I punt. I spend the whole day sitting down, eating and drinking whatever I want. Unlike offense and defense, which each last a week, a punt only lasts\u00a0one day. Then it\u2019s back to offense and defense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blocking &amp; Tackling.<\/strong> Playing offense and defense is mostly about the mentality and motivation you bring to the game. And blocking and tackling is all about the fundamental skills you apply while playing offense and defense. This is where we talk about setting ourselves up for success by doing the basics right.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the 2-minute highlight reel on <em>The Football Diet.<\/em>\u00a0To\u00a0dig into the details, check out these core\u00a0strategies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=8\">Offense<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=10\">Defense<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=61\">Motivational Locker Room Speech<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Special Teams &amp; Trick Plays\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=12\">Punting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=15\">Fumbles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=22\">Extra Points<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=19\">The End Zone Dance!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Blocking &amp; Tackling\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=26\">Build on Your Strengths<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=28\">Protect Your Weak Side<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=34\">Working Out<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Momentum\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=30\">Get the Ball Moving<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=32\">Hot &amp; Cold Times<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?p=36\">Get the Fans Into the Game<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefootballdiet.us\/?page_id=46\">Away Games<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 On Super Bowl Sunday I punt.
