1. Make Sure You Eat Breakfast
Start the day off in the best possible way. A breakfast based around complex carbs is essential. Wholegrain, porridge, Wholemeal toast, fruit or even eggs which are a great source of protein and good fat are great at breakfast. Complex Carbs release their energy slowly therefore avoiding the dreaded insulin spikes. Complex carbs of the low GI variety also help to regulate blood sugar levels, which in turn stops your body storing fat reserves. So next time you’re about to leave the house with a slice of toast – think again.
2. Eat Regular Meals
Snacking during the day is fine as long as you avoid the vending machine, the fizzy sodas and the Golden Arches, and opt for healthier snacks, such as fruit, nuts, yoghurts, low fat cottage cheese or even hard boiled eggs. These are fairly low in calories and will help to keep your energy levels high, as well as providing much needed protein for use during your afternoon workout
3. Lunch
swap white bread for wholemeal, use low fat mayonnaise and fill your sandwich with salad and not full fat cheese. Ditch the crisps, instead snack on veg sticks, and avoid fizzy drinks altogether as they are just bad empty calories, even the diet variety. Go for plain water or a green tea instead. Have a look at the sugar content in some of the diet variety fruit drinks. You will be shocked. Who said getting Six Pack Abs Fast was going to be exciting?
4. Afternoon snack before your Workout
You should be taking onboard some protein and carbs in readiness for your workout. A banana plus some organic peanut butter would be great, or even a couple of oat cakes with tomato and organic feta cheese. If convenience is your thing try a couple of scoops of Whey Protein.
5. 20 minutes before your Workout
Creatine and BCAAs mixed with Water
6. During the Workout
Water. You should be in and out of the gym in under an hour. If you are thirsty you will already be dehydrated.

8. Dinner
In an ideal world this should be your smallest meal of the day. The least amount of carbs, and the most healthy. In reality it’s the easiest time to pile on the calories, so try to keep your portions small, avoid unhealthy sauces or starchy carbs like white pasta and potatoes. Instead grab some veg, throw it in a wok, stir fry, add some extra virgin olive oil and lean chicken breast. Just try and avoid take outs! Do I need to tell you Pizza is bad! Go easy on the desert, try waiting 20 minutes after your main course before you dive into the freezer looking for ice cream.
