What is the difference between just a thin body and a cut body? Someone can wear a small size without necessarily having a lot of muscle definition. How do you get more "cut"? As far as diet, the answer is not only in being MINDFUL of your calories. You have to look at what those calories are made up of.
One thing I do when I want a leaner, more toned look is really look at where my carbohydrates are coming from. (Carbs are not inherently bad!) Start today and integrate into your diet more whole grains like old fashioned oats, brown rice, millet, and quinoa along with broccoli, Brussels sprouts, yams, carrots, and my favorite KALE. |

8.17.11: Wednesday, hump day. I felt a little blah today, probably a residual "food hang over" from eating richer foods out at restaurants and enjoying wine over the weekend. To give my body a break from the inflammation onslaught, I started my day with green tea instead of coffee. When my energy dipped in the afternoon instead of reaching for more caffeine, I chugged a low sugar (no fruit) green drink. I can't say my productivity was at it's peak today, but I know my body will give me some love tomorrow when I wake up more refreshed and rested. |
