fresh choice!

You're sick of being out of shape. You're sick of WISHING you looked better. You're tired of eating greasy foods that don't sit well with your body. In fact, you're just plain out TIRED--sick and tired of being sick and tired! Your energy isn't what it used to be...or what it could be. YOU WANT TO GET BACK IN SHAPE! You want to feed your body healthy foods, foods that will nourish it and keep you feeling good.
You've decided you'd like to start eating healthier and get in better shape. You'd like to tone up that body, lean out, and go down a few sizes. You'd like to feel better inside and feel more confident. You'd like to get back in shape, or just plain and simple, get IN shape. You want to turn more heads and think "daaamnn" when you look at yourself in the mirror. You want to be able to run up a flight of stairs without being out of breath. Or perhaps you'd just like to celebrate how wonderful your body is, and feel more energetic and more mentally aware.

Whatever your reasons, you've decided to make a change and DO something to make it happen. But where do you start? How do you keep motivated?

I have some basic guidelines for you.
You must take into consideration, however, that EVERY body is going to respond a little differently. But i GUARANTEE that dedication and persistence to what I offer below, will get you EXACTLY what you realistically are capable of acheiving. (By realistic, all I mean is if you want bigger boobs, or a 10 inch waist, this is the wrong place for you. But if you'd like to look and feel your best healthfully, read on...)


KEEPING IT BASIC
? Cut out the fast food/fried/heavy creamy foods.
? Cut back on that sugar (soda's are very high in sugar!).
? Work at getting your heart rate up for 30 mins straight, at least 3 times a week.
? Take the stairs. Park further away. Don't be afraid to lift things (using good posture of course, don't hurt yourself!)
? Carry a bottle of water with you and drink it throughout the day.
? Cut back on that alcohol!
? Eat more vegi's.
? Most of all, keep focused, keep a vision of what you'd like to look and feel like, in your mind. Remember that anytime you're feeling discouraged.

Keep it simple!
Now for something even a little more in depth, but still, I'm going to keep this simple and easy for you. There's no real need to get all high-tech with your routine. Afterall, this is something you can live with. It HAS to be something you can keep up...or else it's only become just another "fad diet" to look back on.


Nutrition
As far as the way your body LOOKS, this is probably the most important part of it. Most people tend to think that working out is the key to the look of anyone's body. But this is simply not true. Remember this phrase: "Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym." You have abs, right now. Most likely they're just not showing because they're covered by a layer of fat. Of course, doing ab exercises, will give you MORE muscle in your abs, but it's not going to make the muscle show. The key to your body, is what you put in it. Trust me on this one.

I am NOT going to reccommend calorie counting at all. I'm going to reccommend something MUCH simpler, and MUCH more effective, BFL style ...

Portion sizes.
This is what I want your meals to look like:
Imagine a normal sized plate. 1/3 of it should be filled with a carbohydrate, the other 1/3 should be a protein, and the final 1/3 should be some form of healthy vegi. Or simply, just have a fist sized amount of each. That's right, make a fist, then put a serving of each category, about that size, on your plate. That will be considered one meal. It's not going to be very big. You want to eat quite a few times a day. 5-6 times a day is optimal. It keeps your metabolism fired up.


here are some recommendations on what i want you to eat..and all of them are grea

Interesting......

Work out seven days a week two hours a day. upper body four days legs and lower body three this will do it.

I'd have to be a hell of a lot more ambitious to diet... The temptation of the open refrigerater and the chocolate cake for breakfast is far to much for my fragile nerves.
