#6WSP: Nutrition

Day 1 of the 6 week sweat plan, so before I begin annihilating stored calories, I got to make sure I fueled my body with good calories that’ll help me oxidize the fat.

The nutrition program I have is not difficult at all; no calorie counting, no macronutrient data collection, no point system-just good ol’ common sense nutrition.

This meal plan is loose; meaning I have a bevy of options but the principles remain the same. With fall falling upon us, there’s no feasible way that I can eliminate the seasonal foods that I have grown accustomed to bear the chilly mornings and cold nights. An if you’re following along on the #6WSP, and you’re a newbie at “dieting” than #6WSP is a great intro to lifestyle nutrition.

Without further ado, the #6WSP:
1. Every morning start with a high fiber and high protein breakfast.

2. A veggie lunch that is 50:50 portion with low fat, lean protein.

3. A protein shake before bed.

4. A gallon of water daily.

That’s it! Thats my nutritional program for the next 6 weeks. Of course, I encourage more than 3 meals a day, but between breakfast, lunch and dinner choose wisely. Choose snacks that are not packaged in a sealed bag like candy, chips or cookies.

But what if you’re hungry or energy-zapped between meals? It’s simple, pick something fresh and filling. Cranberry and almonds trail mixes, almond butter spread on apples or even dark chocolate are healthy alternatives to the vending machine crap laden in our workplaces/schools.

Finally, stick to the plan by planning ahead. Create a menu for your week ahead of time to ensure you stay on target… Stay posted to my daily updates as I give you the 411 on my transformation as well.

Onward & Upward,
