Lets discuss some delicous, yet healthy eating guidelines that will literally TRANSFORM your body in 12 weeks or less. You will see a dramatic difference in your energy and your mood. This guide will speed up your metabolism so that you burn fat 24/7. It also forces your body to build muscle so you look and feel stronger.
Here’s how it works. Muscle = Metabolism. So, the more muscle your body has, the more fat it burns. The following guide was developed by scientists and doctors specialized in natural nutrition. It was clinically tested to retain 100% lean muscle and it WORKS. Study participants lost an average of 15.4 pounds of fat within 12 weeks and they ALL retained 100% lean muscle. I personally used the 2100 calorie guide to get bigger muscles, then the1500 calorie guide to tone up quicker.
Here are the 3 steps to eat healthy, burn fat, and look good.
STEP 1: SET A MOTIVATING GOAL.
Take a picture of the body you want from a magazine. Paste a picture of your face on top of it. This may sound weird, but it makes you visualize your goal. Next, choose your calorie level based your weight.
If you weigh less then 150 pounds, eat 1,200 daily calories.
151-200 pounds = 1,500 daily calories.
201-250 pounds = 1,800 daily calories.
over 251 pounds = 2,100 daily calories.
STEP 2: PLANNING DAILY MEALS THAT BURN FAT AND BUILD MUSCLE.
Use this servings and portion control guideline to plan the right balance of carbohydrates,protein and fat for each meal.
(note: This is for weight loss. To put ON weight, or if you’re not using meal replacements, add 4 servings more protein, 3 more bread/starch, 2 more vegetables, 2 more fruits and 1 more unsaturated fat.)
***HEALTHY PORTIONS GUIDE***
1,200 Calorie Level= 4 servings LEAN PROTEIN, 1 serving BREAD/STARCH, 1 serving VEGETABLES, 1 serving FRUIT, 3 servings UNSATURATED FAT, and 2 PROTEIN BASED, NATURAL MEAL REPLACEMENTS.

1 serving FRUIT= 15 g carbohydrates, 60 calories1 medium fruit, 15 grapes, 1/2 grapefruit, 1/2 cup fruit juice, 1 cup berries.
1 serving UNSATURATED FAT= 5 g fat, 45 calories1/8 medium avocado, 1 tbsp nuts, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp saladdressing/sour cream, 2 tbsp light or reduced-calorie salad dressing/sour cream.
STEP 3: BOOSTING YOUR METABOLISM.
Your body releases hormones after each meal. Either it releases fat burning hormones orfat storing hormones.To release fat burning hormones, eat 5 or 6 small meals through the day. DO NOT eat 1 or 2 large meals per day. This signals your body to store fat.
Drink at least 6-8 cups of clean water each day. Drinking a cup or 2 before each meal will help you control your hunger and satisfaction.
Another way to boost your metabolism is by taking vitamins that promote a healthy metabolism. Green Tea contains EGCG, which is known to dramatically boost the metabolism. Niacin, vitamin B6, B12, C, and caffein also help.
Thats all there is to it!
