1. Don't avoid fat. Once you understand how healthy fat plays a role
in making your fat cells more sensitive to insulin and necessary for
good metabolism and energy production, cutting them becomes a pretty
bad idea. 

2. ROTATE your protein sources! Eating different protein sources 
helps improve absorption, digestion and muscle growth. Do your best
to not eat the same protein source twice in one day. Try out some 
turkey,scallops, venison, bison or greek yogurt. Switch it up! 

3. Avoid a high-carb breakfast. This triggers a big insulin response
and elevates the neurotransmitter serotonin and you'll experience an
energy crash and your brain will feel foggy.  It's better to start 
your day with a high-protein meat and nuts breakfast.  This provides
a nice dose of protein and "good" fats to provide a very moderate 
insulin response, which allows a constant blood sugar. You'll also 
feel more focused and energetic. Try it tomorrow. Add an organic 
egg, some spinach and hot sauce and you're set!   

4 Don't drink your calories. No more than one protein shake a
day when it comes to fat loss and that's immediately after you train.
Remember, if you want to look and feel solid, rely on solid food!

5. Focus on the MINIMUM EFFECTIVE DOSE when it
comes to cardio.  My goal is to do as LITTLE cardio as possible
and since I have an injured Achilles tendon I'm going to have to be
extra smart. Right now I'm doing 3 x 15 minute stair workouts that
gas me!  I will only go to 3 x 20 minutes if my weight stops to drop. 

6. Avoid BROKEN FOCUS. I won't lie, the hardest part of dieting 
is the first 3-4 weeks because you don't look much different 
going from 15% fat to 10% fat (that's known as The Lean Threshold).
For me, it's easiest to slip up at the start, not the end so I need to focus
on The Number - 2lbs of fat each week. As long as I hit that, I'm good!

7. Ab training frequency is based on your goals. If your goal is 
to have FREAKY & SHREDDED looking abs, try them 6x a week. If you
just want a strong midsection, 3x a week will be fine.  

8. Don't be afraid of muscle loss until you're around 5% body fat.
It's VERY hard for your body to "lose muscle" until your bodyfat is 
so low that it can't SUPPLY the needs your body DEMANDS.  If you
focus on coaxing the fat off, 1% each week, instead of starving it
off or doing any of the really critical mistakes I reveal in this video
then you'll be fine. 

9. Understand the optimal times for carbs: Approximately 4 hours 
before you train, during your workout, one hour after you train and 4 hours
after you train.  Carb rotation is not as critical as protein rotation
but it's something I've adopted. Rotate different colors of potatoes,
quinoa, different types of rice, oatmeal, Ezikiel cereal and small amounts 
of fruit.

10. Focus on making TODAY your BEST DAY. Take the ONE MEAL
AT A TIME approach and don't worry about tomorrow because tomorrow
will have enough problems of it's own :)  Focus on TODAY. 

Understand that YOU are in COMPLETE control of how you look this
summer. Make today your BEST DAY and you'll end up with your best
body.
