Hey friends,
I was looking through my fitness archives today and remembered the following article which is a great read for guidelines on how to set-up your diet. I see many people on here focusing really hard on counting calories, but with little to no attention given to where those calories are coming from (I.e. Food Quality)
Below are 5 Simple Steps on How to eat for training your body to burn more fat!
Cheers!

"Looking good naked doesn’t need to be as complicated as everyone makes it out to be. In fact, there are probably only five important things you need to think about. And everything else? They’re just distractions.
First, to lose fat, you have to gradually decrease your calories. In other words, you have to start eating less.
Second, to support your muscle tissue, you have to gradually increase your protein. In other words, eat more lean meat, chicken, fish, or whatever lean vegetarian source you choose. These foods help speed up your metabolism, help you feel full, and provide important amino acids.
Third, to create the right environment for fat loss, you need to gradually decrease your carbs. In other words, eat less sugar and starches – like processed gains. Eating too much of these foods can wreak havoc on your bloodstream, increasing hormones that lead to fat gain.
Fourth, to make sure you’re healthy throughout the process, you need to gradually increase the amount of veggies you eat. You can think of it this way: start replacing your grains with greens. If you do this, you’ll be getting more fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
And fifth, to support your metabolism, you need to gradually replace your bad fats with healthy ones. By adding things like olive oil, avocados, nuts, seeds, and fish oils, you’ll speed your metabolism and lose more fat than ever.
That’s really it. If you do those things consistently, along with a solid training program, looking better naked is a pretty simple process."

Well, start by sucking everything in, hold your breath, bend you knees a little, hands on the hips with elbows pointing to the back, stick your butt out, angle ever so slightly to the right side and VOILÀ! You'll be an instant Jason Stathom or Olivia Munn in your birthday suit! Dont't forget to smile... You always look better naked when you're smiling... :-)
All jokes aside, this is a very good post... Good to be reminded.0 -

One of the biggest misconceptions.. veggies actually have a TON of carbs too.. so really, the bread roll wouldn't do THAT much more damage as long as your calorie intake isn't super high.
okay.. my suggestions on looking good naked?
Feeling confident in your own skin.. a few drinks don't hurt too
lol but seriously.. confidence is super sexy in both men and women
now.. onto those sit ups.. hehe0 -
Sounds great! All things I've been doing for the past month or so already.0
