Start your day with PROTEIN – eggs, meat and vegetables for breakfast. The first meal of the day sets your body up for either a day of fat burning or fat storage.
A bowl of boxed cereal (I don’t care how healthy it claims to be) will set you up for a day of fat storage, while a spinach omelet will set you up for fat burning!
Avoid sugars as much as possible by choosing eggs, oatmeal with nuts and berries, a hardboiled egg and an apple, and apple or banana with peanut butter.
Increase your vegetable intake.
Good healthy fats are flax, olive oil and avocado – these food are allowed.
Fruit is good for you but only in controlled amounts. Too much can have wave effects on your blood sugar levesl which will play havor with your thyroid and fat loss plan.
Any large fluctuations in blood sugar and consequently insulin can lead to more serious problems than having a bit of extra flab. The insulin rollercoaster caused by too many sugary substances (natural or not) can eventually lead to diabetic conditions.
Limit fruit intake to 2-3 pieces per day, choosing berries where possible.
Include a source of complete protein such as tuna, egg or chicken with each meal in order to maximize the thermic effect of what you are eating and supply your muscles with a constant source of protein.
The final piece of the nutrition plan is controlling carbohydrates which can supersonic fat loss results. To do this you will need to restrict complex carbohydrate intake to only the meals after a workout session.
No bread, potatoes, white rice, soda, pasta or cereals.
Drink lots of water!
