The best way to start your journey is to take a ‘before’ picture of how you are now, in another 6 weeks time you’ll take another and you’ll begin a succession of progress photos to capture your progress. The changes you will see in the photos will motivate you to keep striving and pushing harder and harder.

Unfortunately many people often start their journey with precision focus and commitment, but somewhere along the way they take an alternative route and let us assure you, once you’re off course, it’s damn hard to get back on track! Stick to the fundamentals and the “knowledge” and you’ll make the right turns.  

Subconsciously we all have habits in our day to day lives that we never even think twice about. We most definitely have habits when it comes to eating. And it’s such habits that can make or break us! Long term success relies heavily on eliminating bad habits and creating good ones. However, creating new habits is never easy. But let us assure you once you’ve put them into practice, they just get easier and easier. Opting for a breast of chicken as opposed to a Kentucky Fried will become second nature and you’ll adjust just as quickly as you dropped the bad habit. To make things simple you have to provide your body with food that will nourish it and dispose of those which will contaminate it, it’s that simple. When you make a change, your body reacts, it notices this and reacts with a multitude of benefits.

We must stress that this is not a ‘diet’, this is a way of life, a nutritional plan you can implement for years to come. Over the coming weeks you’ll learn so much about how your body reacts to different foods, how they give you energy, how they make you feel tired, sluggish and irritable and how they can lift you when you’re feeling low. You’ll also learn about the pitfalls of foods labelled as ‘low fat’ or ‘low calorie’, such things that can make so much difference in trimming your waistline.

Food really is a massive factor in your success and you’ll learn this in the very first few weeks of the progress as you notice the changes in your body. If you are a true beginner to healthy eating or even exercising it can be a daunting task and with so much information to digest and divulge for some it can be very overwhelming. During your quest for longevity, as mentioned in the previous chapter, try not to change too much in your life too quickly. Gradual adaption of the program into your everyday life will bring about the best results.

Nutrition and supplementation accounts for as much as 70-80% of the equation when sculpting abdominals and creating a leaner physique. You’ve probably heard the saying “Abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym” This couldn’t be more true. Knowing exactly which foods stimulate the body and those that in effect destroy it is something that we will help teach you. The importance of correct nutrition is without doubt the core of this program and the more you learn about correct eating and balancing the more “knowledge” you will have learned, which will of course help you succeed the challenge. The key is basically to know which foods will feed your muscles and which will starve the fat. Good eating habits become part of a new lifestyle and it’s this new lifestyle, which will determine your overall success. Lets take a look at the key ingredients to form your nutrition program.

What is protein? Protein is the building block for muscle, imagine a brick house, you can’t build that house without the bricks, right? Well the same goes for your body, you can’t build lean muscles without protein in sufficient quantities. Every single meal you consume from now on will contain some form of quality protein. Generally the best sources come from, chicken, turkey, fish, beef, egg whites, soy beans and whey protein shakes and bars.
