Eat Your Way To A Tight Bod

1 Have Six Meals A Day
To lose weight and change your shape, you have to raise your metabolic rate to burn more calories, even when you’re not exercising. If you eat six times a day – in the form of three meals and three snacks – you’ll stay satisfied and free of cravings, while avoiding the daily metabolic highs and lows that make you more likely to overeat.

2 Use Your Blender
Your blender is a powerful tool to help you create a leaner body. Smoothies – blended mixtures of milk, low-fat yogurt, whey powder, ice and other good stuff – can serve as meal substitutions and potent snacks. Drink a 240ml smoothie for breakfast, or as a snack before or after your workout.

3 Know What To Drink
Drinking about eight glasses of water a day helps you stay well hydrated and satiated. Other than water, the best drinks you can have are low-fat milk and green tea. And no matter what, dump the soft drinks.

4 Focus On Power Foods
Incorporate two or three of the Abs Diet Power 12 into each of your three major meals and at least one of them into each of your three snacks.

5 Stop Counting
Calorie counting can be tedious and discouraging. The great news is that when you focus on the Abs Diet Power 12, the foods themselves will, in a way, count calories for you. You’ll eat often enough and with enough nutritional diversity that you’ll stay full all day long rather than experience the blood-sugar surges that can cause you to annihilate everything in your pantry..

6 For One Meal A Week, Forget The Other 5 Rules
Plan for one meal during the week where you forget about good carbs and good fats. Eat pizza or whatever it is that you miss the most. Have it, savour it and then be your better self for another week. The point is to control your diet by planning your weekly cheat meal ahead of time. If you schedule it, you’ll stick to it.
