Lose Fat Fast

DAILY FOOD CHOICES

PROTEIN: Beef, chicken, fish, lamb, poultry and game. Flesh foods.
Protein is the building block of life and is required by all cells to function.
We need sufficient protein in our diet to maintain healthy cell function. Healthy cell function is very important for fat loss.
100 Grams of protein food is about the size of a deck of playing cards, or an average can of sardines. Imagine this portion size when you look at this food on a plate or in the store.
Refer to the calculator to see how much protein you need for the day.

PROCESSED CARBOHYDRATES : For this calculation include bread, cereal, pasta, spaghetti, cakes, cookies and biscuits, sweet treats. Also potato and rice as they are starch foods and very high in calories.
We need sufficient processed carbs' in our diet to maintain daily energy levels.
Imagine this food fitting into a container the base size of a slice of bread.
Imagine all the food you eat that is processed carbohydrates fitting into this container.
Refer to the calculator to see how deep this container is to hold all your processed carbs' for the day. DON'T EAT PROCESSED CARBOHYDRATES AT NIGHT.

ALCOHOL : I have included alcohol in the processed carbohydrate calculator. The reason for this is alcohol is very high in calories.
1 glass of wine contains 80 calories. That's equal to 1x 15gram chocolate.
2 glasses= 1 row or 5-6 squares of chocolate.
1 bottle of wine= 1 medium block of chocolate. = 6 glasses.
2 glasses of wine = 450ml of beer, and 1 bourbon and coke = 1 and 1/2 glasses of wine.
To make things easy I have calculated that for every 2 glasses of wine you drink, or the equivalent, reduce your processed carbohydrate intake by the volume of 1 slice of bread.
For example: If you have a bottle of wine with dinner, you have consumed 6 glasses of ENERGY.
That's the equivalent of the volume of 3 slices of bread in energy your body has to use or it will be forced to store it as body fat.
To balance your meal plan (energy intake) reduce your processed carb' consumption the next day by the volume of 3 slices of bread and you won't be taking in more energy than your body needs. You will have balanced your energy needs over 2 days.
TRY TO HAVE ONE DAY A WEEK THAT IS ALCOHOL FREE. YOUR LIVER WILL THANK YOU.

FRUIT : Eat 2 Pieces a day for energy (fructose) and soft fiber.

VEGETABLES : Eat 300-400 grams a day in 2 serves.
Most of the vitamins and minerals our bodies require have to come from fruit and vegetables. They are contained in the earth and the easiest way of getting vitamins and minerals in our diet is to eat food that's grown in the earth.
Try having salad vegetables for lunch with some protein, and cooked vegetables for dinner with some protein.
Simple meals can be enhanced with garnish, sauces(not cream) and natural cold pressed oils.

WATER : Drink 1.5 liters of water daily. Our body is made up of approximately 70% fluid. That fluid has to come from somewhere. Our body is not a closed system in which fluid is held permanently. You urinate, perspire and dehydrate.
To be healthy you need to hydrate (contain water) so your body's fluid levels remain at an optimum level.
DO NOT DRINK WATER WITH MEALS. This dilutes your stomach acids which are at specific concentrations to digest food.

BREATHE : Never underestimate the importance of oxygen.
You can't lose body fat without sufficient oxygen present in the blood to help the osmosis of fat out of the cell into the blood stream.
Aerobic means in the presence of oxygen, not in the presence of other people at the health club.
If you don't have oxygen in your system you won't burn fat. SO BREATHE!!!!!
