Lean principles
As usual, like I do with all topics, I've provided you with no-nonsense information. If implemented properly, this information will help you on your quest to get lean. It will not be easy, especially getting to the point of being shredded, and will take a lot of dedication, patience and self-motivation. Use the basic principles below to get on the right path to changing your lifestyle, which will positively change your life.
* Eliminate all processed convenience foods from your diet.
* Eat whole natural foods.
* Eat at least four times per day.
* Eat protein with every meal.
* Keep a Daily Nutrition Progress Report.
* Eliminate all store-bought oils like soy, corn or canola.
* Don't consume any product that contains "vegetable oil," "hydrogenated vegetable oil," "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil" or "shortening" listed as one of the ingredients.
* Include fats like coconut oil, omega-3s, and raw butter in your diet.
* Use coconut oil and raw butter for cooking and frying. Olive oil can also be used for one time frying, but it doesn't contain the MCTs of coconut oil and butter.
* Exercise intensely three to six times per week. Progressive resistance training is imperative.
* Do not perform slow or moderate cardio unless you enjoy it. It will have little to no effect on your weight loss over the long haul compared to more intense exercise.
* Get adequate sleep.
