DIET TIPS

Now when it comes to dieting, people tend to take it too serious which often times make them stop halfway and ruin their whole journey. You should aim to eat clean about 80% of the time and whatever you want for the other time. Slowly let go of the foods i am about to list below and do not take it too aggressive as a beginner.

processed foods

fried foods

carbonated drinks

snacks

These are the basic foods to avoid especially if you are looking to get a flatter stomach. Get your daily calorie intake from carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats. Protein is the most essential one as it builds and repairs worn out body tissues which might have broken down during your workout. Choose foods you enjoy eating as long as it falls into your macros. For those looking to trim down, reduce your calorie intake every two weeks while keeping your workout in check. after reducing it thrice, stay in that caloric deficit and results will begin to show. if you feel like you are getting leaner than you want, just increase your calories slightly.

While for those looking to add size, just eat! Again as long as it falls into your macros you will be fine. Take the whole process slow and enjoy it as you slowly get your dream body.

REST

Take your rest days seriously because your muscles need time to regenerate after your workouts to come back bigger and stronger. Make sure you hydrate on your rest days to keep you muscles full.

PATIENCE

Patience is key in building your dream physique. Just trust the process, be consistent and your results will come.

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.
