I can't say it enough. If you're serious about making changes in your body there are 2 specific things you've got to do:
1.) Plan and if possible, prepare your meals ahead of time to make sure you stay on track with your nutrition, and
2.) You've got to get your daily exercise. And if you can't do it daily, start with 1 day a week and build to a minimum of 3 days per week.
That being said, I can't tell you how often I hear people complain about how hard it is to stay on track with food. Now of course when questioned they readily admit that they are not sticking to any real food plan, they just kind of wing it all day. And of course at the end of a few weeks they wonder why they don't see any changes in their body composition.
I know it's a worn out cliche, but if you don't plan for your success how do you think it will happen?
The 2 largest complaints I hear from people when it comes to sticking to a food plan, is that the food is tasteless and uninspiring, and they don't have time. Well, here are two recipes below that are big on flavor and easy to prepare. They taste good and are darn good for you. Even better is that they don't take any longer to prepare than any other home cooked meal.
As you know, this month is all about keeping it simple. Here are two simple recipes to help you stay on track.
