Tom Venuto is my hero. He wrote a book called The Body Fat Solution which I have been listening to in my car for about a year. You will perhaps note that I have been merely listening to the book, not actually implementing any of its suggestions. But that was then – this is now! There is a great deal of {Body Fat} to be released around here and I know Tom is the man I need to help me.
The catchphrase around this house is about to become “calorie deficit” as we start following The Ten Body Fat Solution Nutrition Rules:
- Focus on the calorie deficit first and budget calories wisely.
- Start building every meal with lean protein.
- Eat vegetables (fibrous carbs) with every meal.
- Eat omega-3 and other healthy fats every day.
- Eat at least two fruits every day.
- Eat natural starches and grains as your “X-factor.”
- Eat mostly foods that pass the “natural test.”
- Eat a meal or snack every three hours.
- Limit or avoid liquid calories and drink mostly water or green tea instead.
- Follow the 90/10 compliance rule.
There you have it. Toss in a little of Michelle Obama’s new MyPlate to give Q a visual for portion sizes, and you have a nutrition plan that is low on shiny newness and high on common sense.
- {Body Fat} released: Pick your jaws up off the floor. I not only cooked a lovely chicken curry from scratch, but Q and I went to the gym and did weight training.
