Week # 6
- You
are what you eat! How many times have you heard that?
I
agree with what the experts say, we should eat a diet higher in
protein and lower in carbohydrates. Protein from chicken, egg,
lean beef, fish, fat free milk, protein drinks, etc. provides us
with the proper amino acids that our muscles need. If you do not
feed the muscles properly, they will diminish. Since we burn fat
in our muscles it is VERY important that we feed the muscles
properly. We are a society that takes in too many carbohydrates
from pasta, potato, rice, breads, sweets, etc.
It
works like this, the more carbohydrates you take in the more work
your muscles have to do to burn them off. As a result we never
properly burn fat in the muscles. Therefore we never lose and keep
off the weight we want. Here is how simple it is to measure the
amounts you should be taking in. Make a fist. That's it, the size
of your fist is the amount of protein and the amount of
carbohydrates you should have with each meal. Any more than that
will be going to waste, Or Your WAIST if you know what I mean.
Now,
this is not said for you to eliminate carbohydrates out of your
diet. Your body needs
carbohydrates for fuel. So, ball up your fist and eat away!
Week # 5
- Plateau is a nasty word to dieters. The way to blast out
of it is to take a week off and restart your program the following
week. This means to NOT exercise or eat the way you do on a
diet. Endulge in those foods you normally would not.
Enjoy!
Week # 4
- Eating Whey Protein boosts your immune system while helping you
lose weight!
Week # 3
- Speed up your metabolism by eating breakfast! It is a
proven fact that if you eat within 2 hours of arising, your
metabolism speeds up and is able to burn more calories throughout
the day.
Week # 2
- Drinking ice water instead of tap water will make you burn more
calories as your body must warm up the water first.
Week # 1
- Performing 20 minutes of cardio directly after working out with
weights will make burn up to 300% more calories in one day.
