A Ridiculously Easy Guide to Good Nutrition

Here's the email I sent out yesterday to all of the 12-WEEK FAT LOSS CHALLENGE participants:
"Hey guys, Looks like "most" of you have started your Nutrition Logs. Remember... this is required for ALL participants! Also, I don't see any questions, comments or discussion happening in "The Forum" thread. Please post here if you want to share info or get help with anything. You may also email me with any concerns or issues. These first few weeks are critical for your success, so please let me know how I can help. Email me (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)). Here's a few tips that will help accelerate your results:
1. Start every day with a protein adequate meal. This can be the traditional "breakfast" of eggs or... anything! Most days of the week I'll eat LEFT-OVERS FROM DINNER the night before (chicken, fish, steak, shrimp, etc...) This requires you to think ahead and make extra servings when cooking. Today I had Salmon, Asparagus and Avocado for breakfast.
2. Try not to eat a ton of fruit. In fact, I recommend making an effort to consume VEGETABLES over fruit for the first 2-4 weeks. This will allow your metabolism to normalize, decreasing insulin production, while up regulating fat burning enzymes.
3. Drink TONS OF WATER, preferably between meals. This will reduce appetite, elevate your metabolism and help you avoid fatigue during the day.
4. Cut back or stop drinking so much ALCOHOL. This can be more or less problematic for some of you but any amount will sabotage your efforts none the less.
5. Do your "Home-Workouts." Here's the link to 20 SIMPLE WORKOUTS... I will be awarding prizes to those students that complete the most over this 12-WEEK period.
