Are you looking for a lean, sexy body? Frustrated with fat? Here are 5 simple rules to help you lose the fat and build the muscle.
1-Be consistent and the fat will leave. Look for about 2 pounds a week at the maximum. Be patient. You’ll look great in the end in your new dress or at the pool. Remember that you’ll feel good and look good with slow and steady results. You are in this for the long haul.
2-Be sure to eat 5 – 6 small meals all day long. You can stop the cravings for junk, i.e. chips, bagels, cookies, etc and remain satisfied all day.
3-Do Not miss a meal. This causes muscle loss and we’re working to keep and build muscle.
4-Drink plenty of water. Haven’t’ you heard that before? Still true– because having enough water helps you keep muscle. That’s our goal, remember?
5-Always eat some form of protein at every meal or snack. This is the real ‘secret’ to keeping muscle and building more muscle. Shhh, don’t tell those you want to compete with.
No pill can make you lean. Don’t be taken in with any quick fix promises, even if they sound good. Swallowing a pill will not create washboard abs. You are smart enough to know this.
Here are the Best Tools to Achieve Your Goals
Only Way to Success–Nutrition
* Whole, healthy, natural foods eaten in a balanced fashion
* Eating breakfast is a must. Healthy foods instead of empty carbs or sugar like bagels or donuts
* Avoid processed foods, most importantly processed sugar
* Fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables are the best. Shop local farmers markets whenever possible.
* You know this one–drink plenty of fresh, filtered water.
* Eat healthy snacks that include protein e.g. cheese sticks, yogurt, nuts
* Use butter not margarine.
* Whole grains, bread and pasta. Sprouted breads contain protein making them very good
* Meals should be colorful and varied. Do not eat the same thing every day, you’ll get bored and crash your plan. Include as many colors as possible. Orange=carrots, purple=cabbage, green=brussel sprouts, yellow=squash, red=beets, blue=blueberries, white=cauliflower. You get the idea.
This transformation of fat into lean muscle requires commitment and dedication on your part. Set an achievable goal for yourself and start today.
