5 More Fat Burning Tips for You
At any time of year, we can use every last tip to help
avoid
weight gain.
So here are 5 more fat loss tips for beginner & advanced
readers.
1) No liquid calories (with the exception
of a post-workout drink).
Get rid of all the juices, the sodas, and the sports drinks.
Liquid
sugar is the last thing you need when you are trying to lose
fat.
You must also limit your alcohol intake - especially if you
are
adding mix to drinks...that is a double calorie bomb! A single
"Jack and Coke" is over 200 calories (100 calories from booze
and 100 calories from mix).
2) No fast food.
Do not eat at fast food restaurants. Even if you choose what
you
think is healthy, remember this:
Fast food restaurants are all about profit.
And in order to profit while giving you
cheap, quick, and easy to
prepare foods, the quality of the food ingredients will be poor
-
especially the protein.
Now you might have read that you can still make healthy
choices at fast food restaurants. But you know what, that's
just
politically-correct opinion. If it's fast food, it's poor
food.
Walking into a burger joint and grabbing a chicken breast on
a
white bread bun with a piece of old lettuce and a
half-green,
half-pink tomato is "barely" healthy eating.
The politically-incorrect truth is that it's going to take
time and
effort to eat properly. You will have to plan, shop, and
prepare
healthy meals. You will have to spend time cleaning, cutting,
and
cooking your food. That's the truth.
But believe me, it will taste so much better than fast food,
and
healthy eating will make you more alert. Eating fast food will
make you feel terrible, and will make you want to have an
afternoon nap at your desk.
Make one small improvement to your nutrition everyday for
the rest of your life.
3) Eat more fruits and vegetables.
If you are eating 2 servings per day, then go up to 4
servings per day by the end of the week. And even if you think
you are doing great by having 5 servings per day, you still
need to double that (take 2-3 weeks to work your way up to 10
servings per day).
Stick with fiber-rich fruits and vegetables - organic if
possible.
4) Eat 1oz of almonds or walnuts per day
(1/2 oz in the AM, and the other half in the afternoon).
Most nuts are roasted in oils (possible source of trans
fats), so
stick to natural or dry-roasted nuts.
Don't panic...this small amount of nuts won't make you fat,
but will fill you up and help you lose weight.
5) Be consistent with your workouts.
And make sure the workouts are efficient and effective. To
make it easy for you to follow, stick with the Turbulence
Training fat burning workout system.
It doesn't matter if you train in the morning before or
after
breakfast, or at night before or after dinner, or at 1pm on
days
when the moon is in line with Saturn...don't worry about
the
details, just train consistently.

6) BONUS TIP: Go for a walk after lunch or
dinner (or anytime you eat a big meal). Research shows this
will help you control your cholesterol and triglycerides, plus
any movement is better than sitting around watching the TV and
snacking.
