At this time of year, we can use every last tip to help
avoid
holiday weight gain.
So here are 5 more fat loss tips for beginner & advanced
readers.
1) No liquid calories (with the exception of a post-workout
drink).
Get rid of all the juices, the sodas, and the sports drinks.
Liquid
sugar is the last thing you need when you are trying to lose
fat.
You must also limit your alcohol intake - especially if you
are
adding mix to drinks...that is a double calorie bomb! A single
"Jackand Coke" is over 200 calories (100 calories from booze and 100 calories from mix).
2) No fast food.
Do not eat at fast food restaurants. Even if you choose what
you
think is healthy, remember this:
Fast food restaurants are all about profit.
And in order to profit while giving you cheap, quick, and easy
to
prepare foods, the quality of the food ingredients will be poor
-
especially the protein.
Now you might have read that you can still make healthy choices at
fast food restaurants. But you know what, that's just
politically-correct opinion. If it's fast food, it's poor
food.
Walking into a burger joint and grabbing a chicken breast on
a
white bread bun with a piece of old lettuce and a
half-green,
half-pink tomato is "barely" healthy eating.
The politically-incorrect truth is that it's going to take time
and
effort to eat properly. You will have to plan, shop, and
prepare
healthy meals. You will have to spend time cleaning, cutting,
and
cooking your food. That's the truth.
But believe me, it will taste so much better than fast food,
and
healthy eating will make you more alert. Eating fast food will make
you feel terrible, and will make you want to have an afternoon nap at your desk.
Make one small improvement to your nutrition everyday for the rest
of your life.
3) Eat more fruits and vegetables.
If you are eating 2 servings per day, then go up to 4 servings per
day by the end of the week. And even if you think you are doing great by having 5 servings per day,
you still need to double that (take 2-3 weeks to work your way up to 10 servings per
day).
Stick with fiber-rich fruits and vegetables - organic if
possible.
4) Eat 1oz of almonds or walnuts per day (1/2 oz in the AM, and
the other half in the afternoon).
Most nuts are roasted in oils (possible source of trans fats),
so
stick to natural or dry-roasted nuts.
Don't panic...this small amount of nuts won't make you fat, but
will fill you up and help you lose weight.
5) Be consistent with your workouts.
And make sure the workouts are efficient and effective. To make it
easy for you to follow, stick with the Turbulence Training fat burning workout system.
It doesn't matter if you train in the morning before or
after
breakfast, or at night before or after dinner, or at 1pm on
days
when the moon is in line with Saturn...don't worry about
the
details, just train consistently.

6) BONUS TIP: Go for a walk after lunch or dinner (or anytime you
eat a big meal). Research shows this will help you control your cholesterol and triglycerides, plus
any movement is better than sitting around watching the TV and snacking.
Improve your lifestyle everyday,

plateau.
"The constant shakeup is amazing. I look forward to my workouts. I
feel so much better than I did 6 weeks ago. I had almost given up on fitness as I was becoming very
frustrated with my plateaus. I started out at 233 lbs and am already heading for 225 in only a few
short weeks. Thank you for developing this truly amazing program and for sharing with the rest of
us. It's very refreshing to enjoy working out again!"
Dave Heffernan
"Turbulence Training is AWESOME! I started working out in 2004
first time in gym at 39 yrs. Then I discovered T.T. in 2006 and started receiving unbelievable info
on xercises/nutrition. Immediately I started incorporating T.T. in my busy schedule which is
improving my strength, definition, flexibility and nutrition. Craig is quick to reply to questions
and supportive. My confidence and strength has definitely improved. If I only knew of Turbulence
Training in 2004. The gym crowd is really checking me out now."
Kimmie Clark
"I lost 14 pounds this month and the weight is just falling off
me.
My wife says I now look like when we first met and I still
have
more to go. I can fit into my old jeans again which is a big
deal
for me. I just cut back on starches and bread and do your routine 2-3
times a week. I never thought in a million years that just 10-20 minutes of weight training
followed by some cardio would get me such steady results. I even cheat a bit on the
weekends."
