What’s In My Fridge
CLEAN FRIDGE, CLEAN EATING
If you’ve got junk-food in the house, it will get eaten eventually. I can have a carton of ice cream in the freezer for about a day… it won’t last any longer because I will absolutely inhale it. If you want to eat clean, lose weight, improve your energy levels in the surf, or heal from injuries or ongoing health problems, stock up your kitchen with good food. If you’ve got crap in the kitchen, you’re gonna eat crap. And surfers especially need to eat clean.
