The "diet" that I am on

Let me make this very simple for you. Any diet that you follow will work. Atkins, Zone, or the Velocity diet. Believe me. I tried them all for a little while and they all worked great. The question is whether you can stick to them. I haven't been able to for more than a few weeks so I created my own. My system is very simple. VERY SIMPLE.

Note: This is not a way to lose 25 pounds in 30 days but this is how I lost a ton of fat, gained a bunch of muscle and still had a life.

1. Figure out how many calories I should be eating.
First figure out your Base Metabolic Rate. That is the approximate amount to stay the same weight you are currently at. From there you can either subtract 300-500 calories a day or increase your activity. Or both.

2. Eat that amount of calories in lean protein, veggies and healthy fats.
Chicken, Broccoli, Salmon, Spinach, Turkey, Eggs, Avacado, Lean steak, etc.

3. Keep at least 80% of my intake sugar/booze/pizza free.
As you can see I cheat a little but it's not a "cheat day" and a majority of my meals are keeping my body on track. Some weeks I am at 100% and others I am closer to 80%. So I can still go out with friends and not feel bad about having a burger from time to time.

4. Move daily. Even if it is just a 20 minute walk.

That's it! No pills, no product to buy. I drink green tea but that's about it. :)
