Everyone has a metabolism that was genetically given to them from their mom and dad. Our lifestyle (exercise & nutrition) either improves it (speeds it up), or destroys it (slows it down).
By following these simple nutrition Dos & Donts anyone can speed up their metabolism within a week. You do have the power.
1. You Must Eat Smaller Meals More Often Through Out The Day!! You must eat a protein and a carb combined together every 3 hours.
2. Dont eat anything that took more energy to ship than to grow. If it rots its good for your. If it is made in a plant stay away; if it comes from a plant, eat it.
3. If you are not hungry enough to eat an apple, then youre not hungry.
4. Eat foods in inverse proportion to how much its lobby spends to push it.
5. Avoid snack foods with the oh sound in their names: Doritos, Cheetos, Tostitos, Ho Hos, etc.
6. Eat your protein first then your carb
7. Its better to pay the grocer than the doctor.
Pay for genuine organic food as often as possible.
The best place to get the freshest organic foods is at your local farmers market. They advertise in your local paper or google search local farmers markets________ (your home town)
8. You may not leave the table until you finish your veggies
9. You dont get fat on food you pray over. (Meals prepared at home, served at the table and given thanks for are more appreciated and more healthful than food eaten on the run.)
10. Eat more in the beginning and the middle of the day.
There is some truth to the old adage Eat Breakfast Like a King; Lunch Like a Prince; and Supper Like a Pauper
11. Never eat something that is pretending to be something else (artificial sweeteners, margarine, fat free etc.)
I would rather have a little unprocessed real something (like sugar cane sugar) versus artificial man made chemicals (like sweet n low or splenda)
12. Eat more starchy carbs (wild or brown rice, whole grained bread, whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, banana) in the middle of the day on days that you train intensely with weights. Its called carb cycling.
12 ½ The two meals after an intense resistance training session should have 75% of you starch carbs for the day in them. This window after the work out the carbs can be higher glycemic (absorbed more rapidly)
Your hunger level dictates how fast or slow your metabolism is revving. If your hunger level is always low then wait an hour after your work out to consume your post work out meal.
If your hunger level is medium- wait 30 minutes
If you hunger level is high- wait 0 minutes
Always wait an hour after intense interval cardio (do it first thing in the morning) before you eat. Ride the fat burning wave. Make it a real food meal with no starch carbs. Some chicken or red meat and some veggies.
13. Always combine non starchy / fibrous veggie carbs (colorful veggies, salads, green-beans, grape-fruit) with a protein (remember to cycle in starchy carbs on intense work out days.
14. Portion control weapon #1 Drink lots of cold water (I prefer with lemon)
15. Portion control weapon #2 CHEW SLOW! Plus your digestive enzymes will work better and help your gut. And you will enjoy the taste better.
16. One of my top rules for eating comes from economics. The law of diminishing marginal utility reminds me that each additional bite is generally less satisfying than the previous bite. This helps me slow down, savor the first bites, stop eating sooner.
17. Dont eat anything you arent willing to kill yourself.
18. Dont consume calories in liquid form. Use cold water in a glass bottle. Squeeze lemon and or lime in it. The glass bottle makes it colder and therefore more appetizing. Milk and orange juice is not good for us. It is actually bad for us. And coffee is terrible. Get off of the caffeine. You will be so glad you did.
19. When youre eating, dont talk about other past meals, whether better or worse. Focus on whats in front of you. Be in the moment with your family and friends.
20. After spending some time working with people with eating disorders, I came up with this rule: Dont create arbitrary rules for eating if their only purpose is to help you feel in control. Say this three times before your meal when you feel out of control, I eat for fuel, not for pleasure. My body is a machine! I am in control!
21. Eat a small supper with no starchy carbs (around 6 p.m.ish). Eat a protein snack (real food if possible) around 9:30 p.m. Then go to bed early. It is the best way to not eat junk at night. Plus you need to get up early to start your day without being rushed.
Early to bed, Early to Rise Makes a man Healthy, Wealthy & Wise!!

Hi, my name is Darin & I am a World Class Prof. Drug-Free for Life 44 year old Bodybuilder, business owner, husband & Father. In the past, I have struggled to balance my life.
Most of my clients are hard working business owners, parents, & stay at home house moms who want less stress, more time, energy, & fulfillment.
My Promise to you is that I will show you how to not only get an amazing physique, but I will give you a precise, personal (exactly for you) total plan of attack that will allow you to do it in a way that feels good. If you are looking for a deeper approach to health, strength, & vitality; then you need this proven system.
My 300 page e-book The “FATLOSS LIFESTYLE 12 Week Body Transformation System will give you the tools to take your body & your life to the next level. Whether you are a competitive bodybuilder who wants to get some great contest prep tips and or smooth out your life in between contests, or you are the gym rat who wants to take your physique to the next level, or a sedentary 40 year old that needs to get active.
BODYBUILDING NUTRITION
To gain muscle and lose fat you must;
• Take in slightly less calories than you are burning
• Consume higher quality calories. Eat more natural unprocessed foods that don’t come wrapped in a box. If it rots, it’s good for you: Lean (protein with low amount of fat, aka chicken & turkey breasts, lean beef, eggs), Green (vegetable, green beans, salads, apples), & Marine (fish).
• Small meals often. You must eventually work up to 5-6 small meals per day; about every 3-4 hours
• Macronutrient Profile- Every meal you eat should contain protein and carbs combined together. How much? A starting point would be;
1. Most women and under 130 lb. men 15-20 grams of protein in each meal
2. 130 lb. — 165 lb. men 20-30 grams of protein in each meal
3. 170 lb. and up 30-45 grams of protein in each meal
One of the biggest “nutrition Secrets” in the Bodybuilding world is a technique called carb cycling. In a nut shell you have two different types of carbs.
Starchy carbs—Sources are brown & wild rice, oatmeal, whole grain pasta, sweet potatoes / yams
Non-starchy carbs—Sources are veggies, grean beans, salads, apples, grape-fruit
Cycle your calories by eating only non starchy carbs with your protein on Interval Cardio days and throw in your starchy carbs only on days you train intensely with weights. This is absolutely t he secret for you to keep your metabolism revved up while you gain muscle and lose fat.
You can work-out till your blue in the face but if you do not incorporate Interval Cardio (done first thing in the morning in a fasted state), intense functional multi-joint, compound exercises, small healthy meals often with protein and carbs combined together, positive mindset, goal setting & social support (you will turn into who you hang around) you will not change your body much. Physique development is about losing fat
(to show the shape of the muscle) as much if not more than building muscle. It is definitely a combination of the two.

The only thing that can come from only using the scale to see if your exercise program is working is “Bad News”.
If you really want to know if your program is working for you you need more tools. You see; our body is made up of about 60% water.
A 150 lb. person has about 100 lbs. of water. That water goes in and out of cells, muscle, organs depending on many factores. For women a certain time of the month, for higher intake of sodium, for intake of different types of carbs, etc.
My point is that your bodyweight fluctates for so many reasons that we can’t figure it out.
Three ways that are better than just using the scale to see if your fitness program is working is:
#1 The way your clothes fit
If your pants are more lose around the waist and you have
more room in your clothes than more than likely are losing fat.
#2
To use a clothe tape and a scale.
The waist line measurement and the scale give you a lot better feedback.
If the scale stays the same and the waist measurement goes down, then you are losing fat and gaining muscle.
If the scale stays the same and the waist measurement goes up then you are gaining fat.
#3
One site skin fold caliper kit. They are very easy to use and very affordable. Just google search for them. The feedback is much more precise than the other methods above.
The three #’s that are important to monitor are;
1. Overall bodyfat %
2. Fat weight
3. Lean Body Mass
These kit are very easy to use and within one minute you will know if you are losing, gaining, or maintaining muscle and fat.
Using one or all three of these techniques you will be able to find out what works and what does not work at gaining muscle and losing fat.
If you have been following me for any length of time you know that I believe that one of the most important factors in transforming your body and life is “muscle confusion”. Simply put; you can’t do the same exercises the same way all the time. You must give your muscles something new and different.
Tune in here each week to get a new “Unique Exercise of The Month” that will shock your body to lose fat and gain muscle.
