Short and basic post today.
Sometimes we get so caught up in trying the latest and great advice, that we forget that most of the times sticking with the basics works best.
Remember, if you want to see your muscles, you have to get rid of the fat that's hiding them. To do this you need to accomplish two goals:
1. Eat enough to preserve muscle.
2. Don't eat so much that you put on fat.
Here are four basic guidelines that will help you build muscle and lose fat:
* Fill up on protein and multi-colored vegetables. A high-protein meal makes you feel full longer (vs. carbs that make you feel bloated).
* Stay away from "dry" carbs such as bread and white rice. If you must have these types of carbs, try this.
* Eat fiber. It keeps you regular and it helps your body assimilate dietary fat.
* Eat good fats, that should include olive oil, unsalted nuts, organic peanut butter and avocados. Do NOT go fat free. That will just make you feel deprived and you won't feel satisfied and will end up eating more.
I know you've heard these before, but most people forget the basics to begin with. Keep these four things in mind and you should be well on your way to getting lean and mean, as long as you're doing your full body workouts that is!
