Fat Burning In A Nutshell
Avoid holiday weight gain, all you have to do is follow these simple fat loss tips.
1) No liquid calories (with the exception of a post-workout drink).
If you are trying to lose fat, liquid calories (juices, sodas, sport drinks…) are the last thing you need.
You must also limit your alcohol intake - especially if you are adding mix to drinks…that is a double calorie bomb! A single “Jackand Coke” is over 200 calories (100 calories from booze and 100 calories from mix).
2) Forget about fast food.
Do not eat at fast food restaurants. Even if you choose what you think is healthy, remember this: Fast food restaurants are all about profit.
And in order to profit while giving you cheap, quick, and easy to prepare foods, the quality of the food ingredients will be poor-especially the protein.
If you want to be sure that the food you are eating is as good as it gets, then think about the option of preparing your own meals. There’s no better way to be sure of what exactly you are eating.
Ok, i told you so, it will not be easy. But you’ll feel the difference. Instead of the desire to have an afternoon nap at your desk you’ll feel alert, full of energy. That food will be better, taste better, and…it will be healthier than any fast food you can buy in a fast food restaurant.
One small improvement to your nutrition everyday for the rest of your life means a lot to your health.
3) Eat more fruits and vegetables.
If you are eating 2 servings per day, then go up to 4 servings per day by the end of the week. And even if you think you are doing great by having 5 servings per day, you still need to double that (take 2-3 weeks to work your way up to 10 servings per day).
Stick with fiber-rich fruits and vegetables - organic if possible.
Most nuts are roasted in oils (possible source of trans fats), so stick to natural or dry-roasted nuts.
Small amounts of nuts will fill you up and help you lose weight, it will not be enough to make you fat.
5) No pain, no gain.
And make sure the workouts are efficient and effective. To make it easy for you to follow, stick with the Turbulence Training fat burning workout system.
It doesn’t matter if you train in the morning before or after breakfast, or at night before or after dinner, or at 1pm on days when the moon is in line with Saturn…don’t worry about the details, just train consistently.
6) BONUS TIP: Go for a walk after lunch or dinner (or anytime you eat a big meal). Research shows this will help you control your cholesterol and triglycerides, plus any movement is better than sitting around watching the TV and snacking.
