Food Prep for Weight Loss

Many people workout for hours in the gym each week and still fail to see weight loss results, the culprit? Nutrition. Proper diet and nutrition plus hard work in the gym is how you will see results if you want to lose those pesky pounds or break out of a plateau. Change up your routine, but change what’s on your plate first.
The 80/20 Rule for Weight Loss
Jillian Michaels says, “Make 80 percent of the food you eat healthy and take 20 percent of your daily calories and make them fun.” Otherwise, says Jillian, you’ll feel deprived—and more tempted to go off the deep end.
80-20-diet-weightlossFitness really is 20% exercise and 80% nutrition. You really can’t outrun your fork!
