DIET TIP

Now when it comes to your diet, it will play a major role on how exactly you look. If you are looking to build muscle with this routine, eat in a caloric surplus (slowly increase your food intake) and if you’re looking to loose fat, eat in a deficit (slowly cut down calories) and have cardio days in between training days.

WHAT FOODS CAN YOU EAT?

Protein… this repairs worn out body tissues which might have broken down after your workout. Taking protein will fix those tears and make them bigger and stronger. Also get your macro nutrients in(carbs, healthy fats and protein). Also try to get protein in every meal as it helps better. Add eggs, chicken or lean beef to your daily intake and structure your meals in a way which you can be consistent with.

FOODS TO AVOID

Reduce fried foods

Snacks

Processed foods

Carbonated drinks

Beer

Slowly take these foods out of your diet. If you do it in a rush, you’ll end up screwing the whole process up causing you to give up before you start seeing results.

REST

Take rest days when you need to to give your body time to regenerate after your weeks workout. Stay hydrated and eat healthy.

PATIENCE

Be patient and trust the process. These things take time and trust me once you start seeing results, it becomes an addiction.

With that being said, this brings us to the end of the plan, i hope you enjoyed it and will give it a try. be sure to give it a like and drop your comments down below. and follow us on our social media and i will see you in the next post.
