Fitness and health

What if your boss told you to gain 20 pounds of muscle and lose a third of your body fat? Most of us would end up in the unemployment line, but I will do what was told to prepare. Here are my tips for sculpting a six-pack--on a full stomach.

Eat More
I attribute my results mostly to nutrition, (See "What i Eat" below, for a sample menu.) I ate every 2 to 3 hours to burn more fat. Your body doesn't need to store fat for energy if you're feeding it all the time, Mix It Up.. I gained a lot more muscle mass when I went on creatine, also take L-glutamine, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), whey, and a multivitamin.
Go For Bulk.. I don't have a personal chef, so i cook meals in advance. For instance, I'll make a large supply of Irish steel-cut oatmeal and freeze it. That way, the most important meal of the day requires the least work. Carve With Carbs.. Never do any of that carve-starve crap, . Instead, watch the clock. He ate most of his carbohydrates postworkout, and none after 8 p.m. Think About Yourself If you hate your workout, you're not going to do it. Customize your fitness plan to meet your needs. I found it "meditative" to do ab exercises first instead of last.

Meal plan
Breakfast 2 eggs, some "good" fat like a spoon of almond butter or slice of avocado, and 1 cup of oatmeal with applesauce

Midmorning snack protein bar

Lunch albacore tuna wrap or chicken and salad

Midafternoon snack protein shake (whey and water), protein bar, or apple and almonds

Dinner broiled fish or chicken, brown rice, vegetables, and salad

Evening Snack protein shake
