5 SIMPLE NUTRITION RULES (for better health and fat loss)

I'll make it as simple as possible, because it's not supposed to be complicated. Nutrition is a topic which often gets people confused - there's so much contradicting information out there, and advertisers are shoving all sorts of bullshit (on top of the good information) your way constantly. No, you don't need the latest fat loss pills, superfoods, supplements or bullshit shakes they make you believe are good for you (often quite the opposite, actually). So how are you supposed to know how to eat to be healthier and to aid fat loss as well as you can? I want to make things clear and straightforward, so here's a list of the things that'll guarantee you'll get better fat loss results from training, as well as nourish your body optimally. No starvation, no restrictions, no fad dieting. Ever.

  1. Minimum 2.5 litres of water daily (plus tea/coffee on top if you like)
  2. Protein with every meal
  3. Vegetables (or fruit/berries) with every meal
  4. Healthy fats every day (avocado/oily fish/nuts/extra virgin olive oil...)
  5. REAL food 80% of the time (you'll recognise real food by checking out the ingredient label in the supermarket. If there's a single ingredient in it, it's real food.)

Dedicate the next 2 weeks to following these principles. You'll notice just how easy it is to lead a healthier lifestyle. Note, that I'm saying REAL food 'just' 80% of the time?! That's right, you can have #naughtyfood freely, as long as it's not the basis for your diet. It means being able to eat chocolate and drink beer, guilt free, WHILST losing body fat.

The only 3 cereals you should really be eating

Weetabix, Shreddies and Shredded wheat. If it's anything else, make sure to check the product's sugar content. There are brands that are closer to 50% sugar FFS!! Kids should never be allowed to eat anything like that for breakfast unless their parents want to give them a shortcut to obesity.....

A simple secret tip for boosting fat loss

bread fluff
Fat loss is all about energy balance.

Carbs are certainly not bad for you, but eating carbohydrates in excess can be bad for weight maintenance.

In order to reduce the calories you get from bread buns/baquettes etc. just carve out the fluffy bread on the inside. This is a simple way to reduce the 'empty calories' by up to 90%! It also allows more room for the healthy stuff, sch as salads and fresh meat, in your sandwiches.

Also, don't be scared to ask for the bread to be carved out in sandwich shops like Subway. You might have to repeat your request to most 'sandwich artists' but they'll happily do it!

Feel good,
