I'm a trainer at Gold's Gym in Tulsa, OK. I am still in the process of reducing body fat and getting into the shape I want to be. I have watched my and my client's body's transform and I want to reach out and help everyone I can! Please message me with any questions and I'll keep coming with the helpful posts. Here's today's:

My recipe for nutrition and SUCCESS:
These are my tips for a beginner:
-Drink at least 3 liters of water a day.
-Eat 5 servings of fruit AND veggies everyday.
-Limit fried food and cheese.
-Limit processed sugars (soda, cookies, candy)
-Eliminate fatty red meats (steak, hamburger meat)
-Take a multi-vitamin, maybe with an energy supplement or metabolism booster like "One-A-Day Weight Watcher"
-Concentrate on low fat white meats (chicken, fish, turkey) and nuts, peanut butter, or protein supplements like whey powder.
-Milk, cottage cheese and eggs will help convert fat to muscle.
-Eat 5-6 controlled portion, healthy meals a day to keep your metabolism going.

Remember, for everyone that is working out:
Men 1-2 grams of protein per pound you weigh.
Women 1/2 gram of protein per pound you weigh.

    I think it means total grams of protein a day. Like a 3 oz peice of steak has 13 grams in it.

    I have heard women that are working out can eat up to .75 to 1 gram per pound. I know I tend to build musle better that way. Now I'm not a trainer at some gym, but I've done quite a bit of studying a applying over the years. I think there is no set plan that works for everyone, but you need to find what works best for you.

    Fat can't actually convert to muscle. You can burn away your fat and build the muscle.
