It's been said it a million times: You can't out train a bad diet, or has it happens out run your fork :)
But once you get that figured out the fat all but falls off of you body (bootcamp workouts accelerate things of course)
If you use these 5 strategies with every meal, I guarantee you'll have an amazing physical transformation in no time...
1) Pay attention to the cooking method
The way a meal is cooked determines how many calories, how much added fat, and the number of nutrients that survive. This simple factor will make or break your weight loss goal.
Avoid foods prepared like this:
- Fried and battered
- Processed and packaged
- Doused with cream sauce
- Sauteed
Choose foods that are prepared like this:
- Grilled
- Baked
- Broiled
- Steamed
2) Your meal should be mostly protein
The bulk of your calories should be coming from a quality source of protein. With the first guideline in mind, these will be high quality, healthfully prepared.
Good choices of protein include:
- Fish
- Chicken
- Turkey
- Egg
- Lean red meat
- Beans
3) Include lots of fiber
Fiber is a huge part of eating healthy and being lean. Fibrous foods will fill you up while delivering vitamins and nutrient in low-calorie packages. Fill at least two thirds of your plate with fibrous vegetables.
Try these forms of fiber:
- Salad
- Seasonal vegetables
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Almonds
- Chia seeds
- Flax seeds
4) Ditch the low fat/ no fat nonsense
Low fat is just ridiculous. The truth of the matter is when you take fat out of something you have to put something else in (usually chemicals, binders or other crap) to make it palatable. Here's a newsflash: Fat is awesome. Your body loves it and it can actually help you LOSE weight.
But there is a catch - the fat has to be from a natural source. Think farms not factories. Here are some awesome and healthy "high" fat foods...
- Eggs
- Avocados
- Coconut oil
- Cheese
- Full-fat greek yogurt
- Fish
- Nuts
5) Lay off the starches (carbs)
Here's where many well-meaning dieters lose it. The facts are simple, in order to maintain the low-carb, high protein diet required for healthy weight loss, there is no room for starchy foods (with the exception of your pre-planned cheat day of course:) )
Starches to Avoid:
- Potatoes
- Pasta
- Rice and cereal
- Bread and crackers
- Cereals
For faster results, pair your clean eating with a challenging exercise routine.
