Eat Clean, Train Mean

How to eat

Okay, so many people have misconceptions about dieting. First off lets set the record straight --a diet is not short term, it defines the way you eat...going on a "diet" does you NO good because once you start eating how you did before, your body will gain the weight back! You need to be dedicated to a lifestyle change, I'm not saying it is easy, BUT if you want to be healthy, you WILL eat cleaner. Your eating habits have approx 70% to do with weight loss, and no matter how much you exercise or run, if you don't eat well your body won't respond the way you want!

I'm not saying it is easy, and no you don't have to eat like a rabbit and eat 100% organic, but you do need to be more aware of your intake...

1. Cut out sodas, juice, and sweat teas. If you need something besides water, brew up some Decaf Green Tea, it has no fat and it curves your appetite.

2. Don't give in to fast food joints and stay away from fried foods.

3. You DO need to eat plenty of leafy, green veggies. Lean meat such as 99% fat free lean ground turkey meat, lean beef steak, or chicken is ideal.

4. Eat 5 small meals a day and DON'T SKIP BREAKFAST! Oatmeal is great, Greek yogurt is yummy, and almonds are perfect snacks. Try to avoid carbs after 4 pm, no bread, pasta, etc...

These guidelines are universal, whether you want to bulk up, lose weight, build and tone muscles, or maintain your healthy figure. I am not saying it will be easy, but be dedicated and you CAN do it.
