TIP: Learn the value of a cheat day
I realize it's not easy giving up the foods you like even 80% of the
time, and most people are worn down in their resolve to stay "clean"
after 2-3 weeks of healthy eating. Having a food splurge once in a while
is a fantastic way to balance your healthy eating and your cravings
for junk food. The Cheat Day is a safety valve that releases your build-up
before an explosion (or binge) occurs. A balanced approach helps you
maintain your eating plan for a lifetime. Remember, your body does not
gain weight after one meal!
You don't have to give up your favorite foods forever when you follow
my Fat to Muscle Challenge or my Ultimate
Guide to Fat Burning & Muscle Building for Men Over 40 programs!
TIP: Know Your Calorie Needs & Keep a Journal
Some personal trainers truly believe there is a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all
diet plan for all of their clients. It's just not true. Designing an
eating plan is an individualized undertaking and the sooner you understand
this, the more successful you will be. My Fat
to Muscle Challenge and my Ultimate Guide
to Fat Burning & Muscle Building for Men Over 40 programs make
this complex issue as simple as possible (in fact, you get my Diet Journal
as a FREE bonus with each book order!) The easiest and most straightforward
plan is the one that you'll stick with, especially if you feel comfortable
with it. I use the acronym K.I.S.S.E.D: Keep It Super-Simple Every Day.
Keep the rules and the choices to a minimum. Find a selection of 15
- 20 different foods you really enjoy and stay with them.
Be lazy if you have to! Use frozen Lean Cuisine™ meals, canned
soup, tuna fish, instant oatmeal, or store-bought rotisserie chicken
as part of your eating regimen. Simply put, the diet that works best
is the one that fits into your lifestyle and fills your needs!
Tip: Follow the Caveman Diet
The simplest and easiest weight loss plan is the Caveman Eating Plan.
I can't give you all the details of the Caveman Eating Plan in this
short amount of space, but basically it means you should eat everything
in its most natural and unprocessed state.
Why not do a little experiment and try it just for five days and see
for yourself? Just eliminate flour, sugar, alcohol, and processed meats
from your eating Monday through Friday (then splurge if you want on
the weekend). Eat as many vegetables, lean protein and greens as you
want. Eat fruit for dessert and go easy on the potatoes and starches
such as rice and pasta. You'll give your body a jump-start and start
looking leaner and sooner … AND … you'll be more energetic
and you will feel a change in your waistline.
TIP: Know the Always/Sometimes/Never Food List
For a lifetime of success, you need to be conscious of choosing food
that supports your goal of a healthy, low-fat body. Identify for yourself
what your trigger foods are and be mindful of when you are feeling the
pang for something your body craves. Start looking at the foods you
love as items you can still have, but consume LESS or SMALLER portions
of those trigger foods.
Remember that there are no forbidden foods - only forbidden ways of
eating them. My Ultimate Guide to Fat Burning
& Muscle Building for Men Over 40 includes my Always/Sometimes/Never
Food List ... A complete and easy-to-use guide that keeps YOU on track!
