Diet Challenge 1




The best way to make effective changes to your diet is by making incremental and progressive changes and you will eventually reach the desired goals.

The body adapts after 14 days. So if you make a positive diet change your body will get used to it after 14 days and it won't be as difficult. So set a new goal every 14 days.

A lot of people ask me for abs workouts, you should not focus too much on abs workouts, abs are made in the kitchen. Diet is key.

Strive for perfection. We are human so we are bound to make mistakes, but once you do, get straight back into it. I think everyone relates to starting out great with your diet, then one day for some reason you lose out on a workout, you end up eating crap as you haven't anything healthy to eat. After that day, you are discouraged, thinking the damage is done now. Then it takes weeks to get motivated again and get back on track.

If you eat badly one day don't say "Oh I'll start again next Monday"- try jump straight back into your program.

Determination and consistency are key.

Goal for the first two weeks:
  • Cut out bad fats-these are obvious things like cakes, biscuits, sweets, fatty meats, butter
  • Don't fry-steam or bake
  • No salad dressing only apple cider vinegar
  • Low fat meats
  • Check labels for saturated fat
A good way to start improving your diet is to be more aware of the bad fats and cut these down. This will be especially helpful if you have high cholesterol or have had heart problems.
