4. Red bell peppers have more than double the vitamin c than oranges do, so now there is no excuse to be drinking orange juice – choose water.

5. Eggs are one of the best choices for breakfast as they are rich in both protein and good fats and will keep you fuller for longer.

6. Drink full fat milk. The less fat something has the more toxic it will be to your body and harder to digest. Eat foods in their most natural forms.

7. Use butter as it will keep your hormones happy and full you with nutrients such as vit a, d, e and k

8. Ask for full fat milk. Soy milk is highly estrogenic and will give you a fat ass 

9. Eat the whole egg. Did you know that yolks actually reduce cholesterol and are the most nutritious part of the egg.

10. Full fat greek yoghurt is the best choice. Low fat yoghurt is full of sugar and will make you fat!

11. Lift heavy for less reps as it will stimulate type 2 muscle fibres and boost your metabolism

12. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Skipping breakfast will cause your body to go into starvation mode and will hold onto any fat you have.

13. Nuts are an excellent source of fat along with many beneficial nutrients. Many studies show that an adequate consumption of nuts will not only help you maintain a healthy body weight but ward off disease.

14. Saturated fat gets a lot of bad press however we possibly can not function without it as our brains are made up of 80% saturated fat and your brain needs feeding. There are no concluded studies linked to saturated fat and heart disease.

15. Grass fed beef is a wonderful source of CLA which has been shown to burn large amounts of body fat

16. Chicken skin is not only delicious, it is very good for us. The skin is an excellent source of fat.

17. Sleeping is one of the most important factors in fat loss. While we are asleep, our hormones are regulated. Regulating hormones is essential for keeping fat off our body.

18. Drink water during and after your workout as sports drinks are full of sugar and this will be stored as fat.
19. When your body is not fed, it automatically goes into starvation mode and holds onto all the fat it has. Eat regularly and your body will naturally burn the fat as it will know when the next meal is coming.
