Week 4 is quickly coming to and end...and so is January! Where does time go?! I've dropped just over 11 lbs and i'm so excited to hear how you are doing!! You can post your comments here.
In case you missed Andy's tips this week, here they are:
-Remember to try and fill your grocery carts with as many colors of fruits and vegetables as possible. These nutritious foods go great with any foods and the variety will help fight boredom which may lead to cheating.
-To maximize your metabolism you should eat every 2-3 hours. Your typical day will look include breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch, mid-afternoon snack, and dinner with an optional snack 3-4 hours before bed. By spacing each meal 2-3 hours apart you will keep your metabolism burning fast all day but never be too stuffed or too starving.
-Try to limit your carbohydrate intake for dinner and any snacks you eat after dinner. Activity levels are lower after dinner so the carbs wonʼt be used for energy and in turn stored as fat. Try evening snacks like almonds or yogurt.
-If you have been resistance training for a while and donʼt seem to be getting stronger or seeing results, try increasing the number of reps, sets or amount of weight being used. This will overload the muscle and allow it to get stronger.
-Try to change your workout routine often to keep your muscles guessing so they never hit a plateau by getting used to the same exercises. Try using dumbbells instead of machines, exercise ball instead of a bench, resistance bands instead of weights.
-It is important to take a multivitamin daily. This will help to prevent any deficiencies in your diet which can lead to a number of health problems.
Keep up the GREAT work! God Bless!
