Lose Fat - Get Your Life Back: Part 3

PROTEIN:

Protein should be paramount for any fat loss plan. Protein is harder to digest and uses more energy to process. You still need carbs, but keep them as complex as possible.

Protein sources include lean beef, lean pork, chicken, turkey, fish as well as whey protein, mixed protein shakes, low fat milk and dairy.

For meat and poulty, remove any skin, cut off any visible fat. A serving is the size of a deck of cards and is sufficient for most people looking to lean out.

With a high protein nutritional plan you will also need to increase one other thing! Water!

Water is used in just about every process in the body. You are made mostly of the stuff so, there should be no denying you need at least 12 cups a day. You may need more in hot weather or if you train intensely.
