A number of supplements are great for packing on muscle. However, if you want to get lean and mean protein is great. You are more likely to get a leaner mid section with whey protein, and not one full of sugar (Myofusion is one of my favorites since it is sugar and aspartame free). Whey protein enhances fat-burning and decreases the manufacture of fat by the liver. Something simpler? try ingesting fish oil to enhance the efficiency of leptin. Leptin is a protein hormone with important effects on regulating body weight, metabolism, and reproductive function.

1.  You starve yourself
 Cutting to many calories from your diet causes your body to go into starvation mode and it will start storing calories rather than burning them. 

2. You eat to fast
Did you know it takes about 15-20 minutes for your brain to process what's going on in that gut of yours. So slow it down even if your in a speedy hurry.

3. You haven't vanquished carb cravings
The strategy of eliminating  fast absorbing carb is no easy task and hard to maintain especially if you don't replace those bad carbs for good carbs. Your body craves carbs so give in by giving it fiber rich carbs. 

4. You dont like to cook
On average people consume 500 more calories a day just from eating out from eating at home, those calories can add up fast especially since 1lb of fat is 3500 calories. Start enjoying food and make it fun cook at home and stay off the sofa and out the Mc Donald's. 

5. You reward yourself disproportionally 
You started working out and dropped a few pounds and you feel pretty damn good about things. So you reward yourself with a meat lovers pizza and a pitcher of beer,,, well sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it doesn't work that way. You have to get into a routine that become second nature in your healthy lifestyle. You wouldn't wash your car then throw mud on it would you?? so why eat clean and exercise then under estimate calories and carbs? tisk tisk

 It isn't about completely changing your life. It doesn't work that way for 99% of people so chances are you need to take small steps to improving your health and fitness lifestyle. If you do small things over and over and over and over and over (get the idea?) then they will become second nature. 

1.  Beans or legumes
You get 3 bangs for your buck. Beans provide a slow burning carb, dietary fiber, protein. 

 2. Berries, Grapes, Apples, Pears, Oranges
 The darker the fruit the more the nutrients. Keep some fruits in your freezer for snacks or cereal. 
Fruits all have certain area they help a little more in regardless experiment with fruit because a piece of fruit could
help your immune system, inhibit tumor growth.. natures probiotic. 

3. Broccoli / Spinach
 -sharper eye sight, sexual enhancement, stronger bones. 
a huge amount of omega-3s and folate. 

4. Lean protein (eggs, chicken, fish, beef)
This one should be obvious. Protein is brain food and helps keep muscles strong and promotes weight/ fat loss. 

5. Oatmeal
healthy heart food, good enough for me. Oatmeal is a great way to get some grains and heart food in if you're like 99% of the population and don't have time to whip up a big fancy breakfast. 

6. Olive oil/ Avocado
both of these are monounsaturated fats, helping reduce heart disease (leading killer of canadians) colon cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis. 

7. Probiotic yogurt, low fat cheese, fat free milk. 
calcium carbs yum yum.. these products are great for fighting bacteria and boosting a healthy gut. 

8. Tomatoes/ Red or Yellow Peppers. 
 These delicious veggies are great for ridding off prostate cancer, heart disease, strokes,  gastric and pancreatic cancers. 

9. Nuts or Peanut Butter
Nuts are heart candy, in moderation of course. Nuts are a great source of muscle protein, filing fibers, and heart healthy fats, 

10. Whole Grain Bread or Pasta
The brain is a furnace that constantly requires fuel (in the form of glucose) in order to perform. You can improve your memory and concentration by helping keep a natural flow of glucose and vitamin b from food like, whole grain rice, pasta, bread etc. 

In good health,
