5. Eat Healthy. Your body stores carbs as fat when you eat too much of them. Carbs also cause carb cravings. Lower your carb intake, up your fat intake. This forces your body to use fat for energy.
* Macronutritients. Switch to a 45% protein, 20% fat, 35% carb diet. Use Fitday to calculate your macronutrient intake. * Veggies. Low in calories, veggies fill your stomach without making you gain weight. Eat spinach, broccoli, asparagus, salad, cabbage,
* Proteins. Get at least 1g/lbs protein daily to build & maintain muscle. Eat meat, poultry, fish, eggs or whey every 3 hours. * Whole Grain Carbs. Cut your carb intake. Eat the bulk of your carbs within 90 mins post exercise & go whole grain: oats, rice, breads,
* Healthy Fats. Fat satiates, helping you fight hunger & carb cravings. Balance your fat intake: fish oil, saturated fat & olive oil. No trans fats. * Quit Junk Food. Quit junk food & soda. Limit junk food consumption to once a week & dont overdo it. * Drink Water. Drink 1 liter per 1000 calories you expend. Your body will stop holding water if you drink more water. * Fruit. Your body converts fruit to fat when you eat too much of it. Limit fruit consumption to post workout & consider a multivitamin.

6. Eat The Same Every Day. The more variety you build into your diet, the less you stick to it. Eating the same every day is more effective. It also teaches you food is fuel in the first place, not pleasure.
Select several healthy & balanced meals you like. Eat them every day. Change the meals when you get bored of them. Not fun, but effective. Think results.
