Yes, chocolate can be a stimulant, euphorisant, and anti-depressor. It is not, alas an aphrodisiac according to the majority of scholars in the Science… I think it would be fair to say that “chocolateers”, would say otherwise, based on the idea which goes back to the beginnings of civilization, even before its arrival in Europe: it was the 16th century, while the Aztec’s prepared a drink called tchocoatl (made of cocoa nibs) known for its nourishing, fortifying, and even aphrodisiac qualities.

Cover models take all shapes and sizes. We’re going to focus on the slim, toned and athletic cover model for the sake of this post. Before diving into the diet plan template; essentially we are creating a diary of what you should eat in a 7 day period continuously with a well balanced diet to achieve the “COVER MODEL” status – let’s take a look at some simple steps to have in mind.
- Gym sessions aside – take on high-intensity sprint training. Go to your local field with some cones, space them out and then sprint to each one, timing your sessions and try to improve each week. (Just to expand – this may seem a simple point – but imagine all the work you have to do, buy cones, organise a template and session log, time your sessions, record them, do your own graphs, look for field – this requires great work and great reward.)
- Workout everywhere – no matter where you are, make a good attempt to workout everywhere – hotel gym, travelling? Hit a morning jog for 30 mins
