BECOME A LEAN MEAN FAT BURNING MACHINE


An important part of your total health and fitness is your nutrition plan. That’s right, what to eat and when. As I have mentioned to you countless times, eat smaller meals more often as apposed to starving yourself or eating a couple of big meals during the day.

Eating smaller meals more frequently stabilizes nutrient oxidization levels, making the body more efficient at burning food. The active person wants to lose weight and maintain lean muscle mass.

Eating 5-7 smaller meals every day will stimulate your metabolism, which burns more calories. Furthermore, nibbling throughout the day prevents long stretches of starvation. Going from noon to 6:00pm without eating usually ends with an enormous supper. This is a very bad eating habit seeing as our metabolism can only handle a certain amount of calories, carbs, fat, and protein in one sitting. Drink plenty of water throughout the day as it is essential for proper digestion, nutrient absorption and chemical reactions.

Here are two sample diet plans, along with pre-post workout supplementation, that will start you on the right track to a healthy, daily nutrition plan. The woman’s sample plan comes in under 1600 calories. The man’s sample plan is approx. 2500 calories.
