12weekShred – Eating and Nutrition (Part 5)

Do you want to be that ripped guy/girl with all-season abs? If yes, then you only have to be disciplined and make it your top priority!

There is no shortcut in packing on new muscle mass or even getting ripped to the bone. It just doesn’t happen by chance. It happens out of deliberate and consistent efforts. It’s true that getting in your best shape ever requires you to work out in the gym; however, the lack of proper nutrition to crown your weight gains or loss efforts will only amount to building a castle in the air.

Therefore, fueling your body with the right diet is as much as important as working out. This program will provide you with the right diet tips which will complement your weight loss effort.

It is easier said than done, says a popular maxim. The truth is that you will be required to follow some kind of regimen plan. You will have to:

• Prepare your meal all by yourself rather than consuming pre- made meals;
• Measure your food portions while also counting your macros;
• Eat salad instead of pizza;
• Give up some foods (such as milk, bread, and cheese) that ain’t bad for you; and
• Get more committed to having enough sleep than a normal person.

This might seem difficult initially; however, with time, you will get used to it such that it doesn’t give you any stress in living out the new plan.

To get shredded, you need to keep track of calories and macronutrients just to provide the right proportions of nutrients to your body for muscle growth and body fat reduction. However, before you follow the diet plan, follow the steps given below:

• Choose your desired weight goal. For instance, if your targeted goal is 170lbs, multiply it by 12 and start eating that quantity of calories each day. The quantity of calories to be consumed, as exemplified here, is 2040 (approximately 2100).
• Then determine how those calories are broken down into grams of carbs, protein, and fat. Since you require carbs to give you energy while working out, you can make it with 1g per pound. Protein helps to repair muscle; thus, you can set its daily intake at 1g per bodyweight pound. As for fat, you can start with 0.4g per bodyweight pound.
