Shocking: Eating a Caprese Sandwich Every Day of the Summer Does THIS to Your Body

While you were sitting in a cubicle this summer, so was I. One fatal difference: I was eating a caprese sandwich.

The beauty of the caprese is its shocking versatility. You might opt for cherry tomatoes instead of the regular ones. Did that. You might run out of hoagie rolls and wrap it in a tortilla instead. Tried that too. You might run out of pesto and source a basil leaf from the plant growing out of the crack in the cement in your backyard. You guessed it; been there, done that. 

Call it hyperfixation. Call it compulsion. Call it neglect of self care disguised as meal prep. But don’t come running to me when you’re not hitting your gains. You’ll slam straight into my brick wall of an abdomen (all natty).

So take the leap. Buy that wet, plastic-wrapped ball of cheese. Eat it until you hate it. Hate it until you love it again. And before you know it, you too can have calves that could crack a watermelon. You might even learn that the dish is in fact NOT pronounced like the cutoff pants – I sure did.
