Eating healthy to burn fat, while you build muscle is definitely not the complex rocket science a lot of people make it out to be.
- Veggies – put your main focus on veggies primarily green with all you meals but eat others as well.
- Protein – have a lean source of protein with all of your meals and vary them as much as possible.
- Fruit – add some fruits in the morning – berries are great
- Fat – make sure you get healthy fats
- Starchy Carbs – you need starchy carbs to fuel and recover from your metabolic HIIT workouts – Potatoes in all varieties, rice and gluten free oats are good choices BUT if you want to lose 20 or so pounds then skip the starchy carbs for a few weeks to get going
Start your focus on veggies. Like a mentioned above, I stick primarily with green but also throw in things like tomatoes and carrots to ensure I have a wide variety. Juicing helps to ensure I get lots of veggies.
Then add some lean protein. Chicken, fish, pork, egg whites.
Nobody needs more than 150 grams of protein per day. In most cases 100-120 do the job.
I know that’s hard to believe but just try it.
Fruit come next, like berries which I primarily eat in the mornings with my oatmeal.
Also make sure you’re getting some healthy fats in.
Finally, you need some starchy carbs to fuel and recover from workouts. One of the most important meals of the day, if you are using my metabolic high intensity training is post workout.
Your body needs to replenish the glycogen stores lost during the workout and starchy carbs in your main ingredient.
Potatoes of all varieties, rice, and gluten free oats are all good choices.
If you have more than 20 pounds of fat to lose you are going to perhaps skip the starchy carbs for just a couple of weeks to get rolling.
That’s it, simple and effective. No crazy diet plan that has you starving yourself or yo yoing upo and down in weight.
