The straight forward guide to eating so you lose fat improve your health forever — 100% GUARANTEED! 7 BULLPEN A alee seme Mem (eclectic)Li] [2] CONTROL your portions. Don’t eat until you are full, eat until you're not hungry. QUESTION everything you eat- Fresh vegetables, skinless white meat, smaller portions, and foods lower in fat are the obvious answers to our Power 90 Diet Guide. CONSISTENT 5x-a-day eating schedule. IMPORTANT! Stick to the schedule so you do not get hungry and overeat, and so your body has enough fuel to rebuild after exercise. NOURISH your body by drinking water- Drink at least 2 liters of water a day. FORTIFY your diet with a multi-vitamin. An exceptional multi-vitamin ensures you get all the nutrients you need, especially when cutting calories. REFRAIN from eating at the wrong times- You want your body to be ina “fat burning state” vs, a “carb burning state”.An Important Note About Evolution & We Haven't Changed That Much--- From an evolutionary point of view, the human body has changed very little in the past 100,000 years. Genetically, there is virtually no difference between us and our cave dwelling ancestors. In fact, our genes have not changed much in the past million years. But, our dietary habits and ability to choose what/when to eat have changed dramatically. There’s the rub... Where the caveman was chasing after herds of antelope trying just to capture enough food to survive for the week, we're now sitting in the drive-through contemplating the price/fun factor of “Super Sizing” our order. Then, when we wake up the next morning and decide to go on a diet by dramatically cutting back our calorie intake, the body and its million year old genetic processor senses this reduction and fires a message off to the metabolism saying “our food supply has been dramatically cut-back. We think there may be a famine out there, or maybe it’s winter. Whatever it is, we've stopped getting fuel, so stop using so much energy. | repeat, Stop using so much energy. Conserve fat for later!” And thus, the body’s metabolism slows to conserve its resources — just like it did when a real famine or winter would force the caveman to go days or weeks without food. (Note: It is believed that the human body can survive about forty days without eating, using your stored fat alone for fuel. Great, huh?) The lesson in this evolutionary example is this: To effect long-term, healthy loss of stored body fat, you want to avoid sending the body a signal that it needs to “reset” your metabolism to conserve fuel. That means while you limit calorie intake, do not restrict it so much that your body’s built-in survival chemistry panics. That's why we are advocating that you consume at least 1,200 calories a day. (That's still not a lot of calories, by the way). The secret to long term fat lass is creating this “calorie deficit”, without motivating your “survival genetics” to compensate by lower- ing your metabolism. It’s a delicate balance — but once you get in the habit of disciplined partion control and regular exercise, you can forget the battle-of-the-bulge, because you will win the war, for life.
