Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• dedication
• discipline

1. LESS CALORIES. Cut your caloric intake to 1,000-1,200 calories a day.

2. SMALLER PORTION SIZES. Eat 6 meals the size of your fist a day, or roughly a handful of food at a time.

3. NO JUNK FOOD OR ALCOHOL. No more chips, cookies, ice cream, pizza, etc. You know the difference between junk and healthy food. ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL. Alcohol is empty calories and sugars.

4. EAT MORE FRUIT. When urged to eat grab a bannana or orange. Fruit is better than junk. Remember portion sizes as a piece of fruit is good but will count as a portion.

5. EAT MORE RAW VEGGIES. Raw vegtables are better for you than cooked as cooking usually involves oils(fats) and cooking them lessens their nutritional value.

6. HYDRATE. Drink lots of water, it hydrates you and is good all at the same time. If you must drink pop, drink diet or zero calorie beverages.

7. EAT PROTEIN. Eat lean meats like chicken, tuna, and fish. Only eat red meat once or twice a week as its higher in fat than the others.

8. USE SUPPLEMENTS. Diet pills are only going to give you energy to work out they are not a true weight loss solution. A good multivitamin is excellent when dieting and trying to lose weight. Some vitamins are even targeted to weightloss.

9. SNACK HEALTHY. Again, raw veggies or fruit. An occasional protein bar is okay. Snack on some type of nuts, but limit it to no more than 2 ounces a day, or roughly two handfuls.

10. EXERCISE DAILY. Exercise in the morning to get that metabolism going. Eat carbohydrates in the morning to boost your energy all day and you will have the whole day to burn them off.

11. GET A ROUTINE. Running is great, get that heartrate up for at least 30 minutes a day. Jog or walking will also do. Aside from this include push-ups two times a week and crunches four or five times a week.

12. STICK TO IT. Its easy to get sidetracked when dieting. The first few pounds will come off fast and the others slower. Just keep at it and increase your activity levels.

13. SNACK ONLY WHEN NEEDED. Only eat when you can't stand the hunger anymore. But make sure your eating a portion or serving every few hours. Salads are a great snack with fat freee dressings.

14. DON"T OVER EAT. When dieting you will probably never feel full, this is beacuse your stomach is shrinking, eventually, you will feel full again after your body adjusts to the diet.

Tips & Warnings

• STICK to the plan!
• DON"T over do it!
