1. Eat when you are hungry and until you are satisfied. There is no need to restrict or count calories when you eating the right foods.
2. Remember that health and fitness should not run your life, it should simply be part of it. Mistakes happen and you will fall off track at time. Don’t let one mistake ruin your day or week. Forget about it and move on. If you have a piece of cake at the office, you shouldn’t feel the need to workout for an extra hour that day. It is all about
balance and enjoying life. That is why the 80/20 rule works so well. If you were having a piece of cake at the office everyday, that is when you may need to reevaluate your
nutrition plan.
3. Enjoy the foods you eat and the energy they bring. Get creative with the kinds of food you cook and eat. Eating healthy is far from boring and bland. Some of the most
flavorful foods are the foods that are the best for you.
So here are your next steps:
Step One: Choose if you are going to do the 80/20 Rule or Cheat Day rule.
80/20: Have 3-4 cheat MEALS a week then focus the rest of your meals on eating good quality foods.
Cheat Day: Eat all REAL food for 6 days, then enjoy one cheat DAY each week.
Step Two: Prepare your food in advance for the week.
Cook in bulk. The more healthy foods you have on hand, the easier healthy eating becomes.
Step Three: Properly time your carbohydrates.
Best times to have your carbs: Immediately post workout, during your cheat meals, OR first thing in the morning.
Step 4: Remember to eat protein with every single meal (20-30 grams works best)
Step 5: HAVE FUN!
