*Eat enough protein for your LEAN body weight. That is what your weigh without your bodyfat.
*Buy a good protein powder. No more excuses that you have no time to eat. Protein feeds muscles, and can be transported anywhere in a bag or container and added to water.
* Plan your lunches and pack them in advance. That way you won’t be tempted to eat the junk that the rest of the gang is eating.
*Take a picture of yourself naked, or in a bathing suit. Yep, this IS what you look like. If you want to hide it, then you have a lot of work to do. When you want to display it, you have gotten results from your hard work!
