A basic guaranteed route to fat loss

Nutrition should be the foundation of any successful exercise and body manipulation programme. Having a strong diet allows for faster fat loss, better gains in workout performance and a better feeling inside your head.

I have recently launched the Three Phase Fat Loss Nutrition Guidance service (which all full time Epsom Personal Training clients get FREE)and am frequently asked about the best diet for weight loss (read the programme in the link and you’ll understand why weight loss is not the goal) but in reality there is no one best diet.

Physiologically we know the most effective diet for any body recomposition goals but each person’s lifestyle dictates something different due work, family and personal circumstances so we must cater to each persons needs.

If however you want a basic plan that can only succeed in making you lean and healthy then this is it;

Eat meat, fish, vegetables, dairy and some fruit and drink water. Any deviation from this is a deviation in results.

A typical day may look like this;

Breakfast – 2- 4 eggs cooked how you prefer with a cup of tea or coffee (protein based meal with fat)

Snack – cup of tea or coffee (fat keeps you going)

Lunch – a serving of meat/fish/protein about the size of your hand and a plate of colourful vegetables (protein, fibre and carb)

Snack – A piece of fruit (carbs)

Dinner – Same as lunch

Simple and healthy with a side of effect of a lean body and vital energy levels. Expecting something more flashy? Sorry.

If you workout properly and feel you need more protein just double the portion size of the protein or add in protein shake with lunch and/or dinner.

If you carry too much fat and eat like this for one month I guarantee you’ll be happy with the results in body composition.
