Real Life Food Changes for Lean Mega Sexiness by Summer

Getting lean and sexy –  scratch that: Lean and MEGA SEXY by SUMMERTIME - is all about food quality.  

But most people think to get the body they want they need to eat perfectly.  And perfectly today.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

My clients make shockingly small changes, all of the time.  There are two ways that we make those changes.  Today we are going to talk about the first, simplest way:

What Is Your Perfect Ready-For-Beach-Nakedness-By-Summer Meal?

What ever food plan you are following, whether it's The Zone, Paleo, Meso, Eating Clean, If It Fits Your Macros, The Abs Diet, Atkins, The Truth About Abs, whatever – which ever one you are following, it has a meal plan.

In essence, what ever plan you choose has a list of meals that fit it's criteria.  Essentially, your perfect meal for that plan.  Your perfect meal to get you that body you want by summertime.

What you need to do is change one or two of the meals you currently eat into meals from the meal plan.

One meal per week.

Or two meals per week.  Tops.

That's it.

Week One: Start With Monday

So that would mean that what you need to do this week is prepare for dinner monday.  And make sure that dinner on Monday fits the criteria for the meal plan you are following.  That's it.

If you want to get REALLY CRAZY you could do dinner monday and lunch monday!  Wow!

You're done for this week.

Week Two: Monday and Tuesday

Week two, you keep that dinner you had on Monday, and then you change dinner Tuesday so that it also fits that perfect meal criteria.

Or, if you are on the REALL CRAZY PLAN, do lunches also!

We went from 1-2 meals the first week, to 2-4 meals the second week.

Clinets Have Lost 3% Body Fat Per Month Like This

So if you look at this plan – which most trainers would consider completely ridiculous – in 5 weeks we would go from 0 meals per week "on-plan" to 5-10 meals per week "on-plan".

And it doesn't matter what the plan is.

And it doesn't matter if you are beginner or intermediate.  Intermediate clients we are just working on even next level meals.  We're going to talk about that kind of change in meal plan next week.

What About For Advanced Clients?

Advanced clients don't have issues with habits or with preparation (if they do, they aren't advanced) and we can make wholesale changes to their meal plan whenever it comes up.  

If you are advanced, you're actually playing the game of "which meal plan works best for my body" instead of "how can I make the habits and preparation work".  

Which is the ultimate cosmic joke of fat loss, because all of the beginners are always playing the "which one" game instead of the *habits* game.

If You Are Beginner or Intermediate The Game Is…

…getting the habits right.  Learning to set up and prepare meals.  And the best way to get really good at this is 1 meal or maybe 2 meals per week get changed.  You build the skills and the habits slowy.  And get good.  And it sticks.

And, in building these habits (and new meal plans always require new habits), you build a foundation for eating that will LAST and fat loss results that will LAST and MEGA ULTRA SUPER SEXY BODY that will last.

This is how you get a wicked hot body by summer time.  Start making small changes NOW.  And stick with them all spring and all summer.  Boom.  Winning.  Duh.

Enjoy!
