We’re gonna go back to our roots. No more KFC, Popeyes, Wendys, McD’s, Twinkies, Salty Fries, IHOP, A&W, Burger King, ZIPPIES, Waffle House, etc.
My able running companion and my oldest friend, Dave, is going to write us a menu that includes a recommended amount of protein, lots of water, and just enough calories to build some muscle while reducing our spare tires from 40 inch rims to 32.
Ok this is easy, there are a few fundamentals to follow though.
1. Don’t deprive yourself, it will only cause you to binge later. Limit yourself but plan your cheat meal. Once or twice a week is fine. Key word is Plan. I make my cheat meal worth it. It is hard to eat clean if you are barely eating clean to start with and when you do cheat your body will absorb most of the calories instantly.
2. You must burn more calories than you ingest. Be aware of the nutritional value of the food you eat, look at the label and judge that on the other foods you have eaten already that day and plan on eating that day, ie parties, bar-Ba-ques or dinner with the wife ect.
3. This is the best advice I can give anyone trying to lose weight, Plan your meals! Make 2-3 days worth, make them in advance so you won’t be searching for a healthy meal and settling for crap. I will help with meal plans and cooking suggestions very soon, but for now remember this: You should eat 3 balanced meals and 2 nutritious snacks, your meal ratio should look like this: 40% carbs, 40% protein (which makes that 1 and 1) 20% fats, oils and other non-essential nutrients. So one sample meal would look like this, One fillet of Salmon grilled has 40 grams of protein, One baked potato (plain) has 36 carbs and you have a small salad with olive oil vinaigrette, the dressing has 6 grams of fat. Polyunsaturated or Monounsaturated fats are healthy. Stay away from saturated fat!
