Eating for maximum fat loss and muscle building

Eating Higher Quality Foods is Not Enough! What?


On the surface it seems that not eating junk food and eating only healthy, living, unprocessed foods would do the trick. But in order to fuel your fat burning engine, you need to take it a step further. You need to eat smaller meals more frequently. I talked about this in depth in my best selling book Effortless Weightloss: Small Changes That Lead to Extraordinary Results!

For maximum weight loss and fat loss, you’ll want to eat 5-6 small meals per day, with protein and carbs combined in each meal. Use a high quality, organic meal substitute shake or snack bar in place of, or in between, 2-4 of your meals to aid in eating more often with fewer calories. I recommend RVL.

Dr. Mercola suggests we also:

1.Learn about the timing of your meals in reference to your wake-up and bed time, and your workout time. (See tomorrow's post)

2.Learn about your macro-nutrient totals. That’s just a fancy word for the optimal percentage of carbs, proteins, and fats in each of your meals.

3.Use good sources of acceptable proteins and carbohydrates. (See below)

4.Determine your nutritional type, which will indicate the ideal ratio of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that your body needs for optimal performance.

SO, Beneficial sources of protein include:
•Organic chicken (dark meat for protein types)

•Fish (as long as it is free of heavy metals and other contaminants.

•Organic free-range eggs

•Lean, grass-fed red meat

•Whey protein

•Nuts and seeds

Beneficial sources of carbohydrates (fibrous veggie type) include:
•Any vegetable (the more colorful the better)

•Dark green, leafy vegetables such as spinach

•Apples

•Grapefruit


Good sources of starchy carbohydrates are:
•Brown or wild rice

•Yams/ sweet potatoes

•Bananas
