A Guide to Smaller Muffin Tops!

Now usually I spend my Sunday morning's catching a workout and
follow it up with sprint intervals with Bruschi. Unfortunately, I
am nursing some muscular issues in my low back (no worries, healing
quite well) so I found a new use of my time.

I have, for me personally, never been a fan of grocery shopping on
Sunday. As far as a preparation standpoint, Sunday IS the best day
to set your nutrition for the week. I personally like to avoid a
crowd, thus I typically use a Tuesday afternoon or a Friday night as
my weekly grocery day.

You will see the best success in your fat loss program when you use
Sunday as your day to prepare your weekly nutrition. I can't tell
you how many times I hear about why a client wasn't able to eat the
way they need to in order to lose body fat. (I will get into self
sabotage in an upcoming newsletter.)

Look, I understand, life does get in the way! But if you use Sunday
as your preparation you can avoid these road blocks BEFORE they
happen. I know what you are saying. How can I avoid a road block
when it hasn't happened yet. It actually is quite simple.

If you prepare your weekly meals and snacks you will NEVER have to
think about eating again! A road block may happen, BUT you will have
your food already there! NO GUESSWORK!

Include lots of color in your diet. You should spend the most time
in the produce section. Each week try a new lean
protein. If you are eating lots of chicken, try bison or ostrich. Or
even place put a little more lean beef back in your diet. If you are
a vegan try a new lean protein.

Look, the only way you are going to lose body fat and see the
success you want is through proper nutrition. If you are killing it
weekly in the gym but sabotaging yourself by not preparing your
weekly intake you WILL NOT LOSE WEIGHT!

Healthy food preparation is a SMALL effort for a LARGE reward!
