subject: 5 Ways To Lose Fat -- Build Muscle [print this page] Are you looking for a lean, sexy body? Frustrated with fat? Here are 5 simple rules to help you lose the fat and build the muscle.
1-Look to lose the fat consistently and slowly. 2 pounds at the most each week. Don't be in a hurry. You'll fit into your new dress or look fabulous on vacation in time. The best goal is to remember that slow and steady is the best course and you'll look great when you reach your goal.
2-Eat 5 - 6 small meals all day long. You'll be satisfied and reduce cravings for chips, bagels, cookies, etc.
3-Do Not miss a meal. This causes muscle loss and we're working to keep and build muscle.
4-Plenty of water each day will help you keep muscle. Drink water all day to reach our goal.
5-Always eat some form of protein at every meal or snack. This is the real 'secret' to keeping muscle and building more muscle. Shhh, don't tell those you want to compete with.
No pill can make you lean. Don't be taken in with any quick fix promises, even if they sound good. Swallowing a pill will not create washboard abs. You are smart enough to know this.
