Putting it into action what you've learned to start healthy weight loss and lose belly fat!Just knowing about protein and the food options that are out there is not enough to make this first step of the twelve week diet work. A person needs to understand how to put this knowledge to work and that is not as straightforward as one might think. Just as with any diet, it is not the principle behind it that causes it to fail, it is a problem of execution. Therefore, take a moment to consider your meal options before heading to the grocery store. Think about which foods would be most suitable for each meal and how much of each is needed to make up the total desired protein intake.
First and foremost, with this or any diet, do not fall into the “skip breakfast to lose weight” trap. Breakfast is called the “most important meal of the day” for a reason. This is the meal that refuels our body – our engine – after hours of deprivation. Without it, you are expecting your engine to run efficiently with no gas. It just doesn’t make sense. Furthermore, when breakfast is skipped, the body goes into starvation mode. The metabolism slows and the body begins to store as much energy as possible.
