More strength is more muscle. More muscle is more calories burned, meaning a lower body fat. Strength training will make you build muscle and lose fat. But nutrition is also important.
Strength & Energy. You need energy – calories from food – for weight lifting and for daily activities.
Muscle Mass. Protein is necessary to build muscle & for muscle recovery. Nutrition can also minimize muscle breakdown.
Body Fat. Fat is emergency storage. Your body holds on to fat when you don’t eat enough calories or don’t eat enough fat.
Health. Testosterone levels, hydration, vitamins, minerals, fiber, … Your nutritional choices reflect your health.
The next 10 nutrition rules will take care of the above…

Here are some basic but very important tips that will help you get the looks you want. These are very fundamental steps that will give you a solid foundation, to go hand in hand with an effective exercise program.
1 - Prepare meals in advance
Preparing what you have to eat the day before is a great way to make sure you don’t go off track with your nutrition program. Prepare the bulk of your meals the night before using plastic containers, and be ready to hit the ground running the very next day. You may be tempted by all the restaurants or fancy fast food places which may not be interested in providing the healthy food choices, but are more interested in providing foods that taste good and will only make your goal harder to reach. Don’t give in to what’s out there, bring your food with you and stay focused on what you are wanting to achieve.

Thanks to a complex web of farm subsidies, chemical engineering, and plain old evil, 21st-century food companies have actually made it cheaper for consumers to eat processed junk instead of healthy, nutritious staples such as fruit, veggies, and lean meats. It would take a book or two to explain how they pulled it off. Instead, I’ve opted to write this short manifesto: a list of ways you can beat “The Man” by eating healthier and saving money at the same time. Who’s with me? ìViva la revolución!
- Buy in bulk. There’s usually economy in volume. There’s a problem, though. If you’re only feeding two people, what do you do with the other 22 chicken breasts you just bought at Costco®? Simple. You divide them into 11 freezer bags and freeze ‘em to be thawed out as needed. The same works for many fruits and veggies, except maybe leafy greens. Frozen lettuce? Not so much.

The thing about working out on a Wednesday and then not working out again till Tuesday is that it stinks. Now you know I tried really hard to fit in long walks with the kids, and doing what I could to stay active, but no workout compares to the boot camp workout. Throw in a bachelorette party and staying out to 3 am on Saturday and you get the picture. So getting back into the swing of things on Tuesday was rough!
Jacob started the week out by basically telling us week 3 means no mercy, shorter breaks, longer reps, and we better keep up. So you can pretty much imagine that Tuesdays workout just about killed me. By Wednesday, I honestly thought I wouldn’t make it through- it was so cold, so dark, I could barely breathe. Thursday was more of the same. Those damn burpees!! WHY do you do this to yourself Joy (I know this is what you are thinking!) The thing is- no matter how hard it is, or how tired, or sore, or cold you are, you are doing for YOU.

Veggie Quiches
flax seeds
veggies of choice (I usually use 1 package each frozen chopped spinach and chopped broccoli) thawed
shredded low fat cheese
skim milk
hot pepper sauce
18 eggs
seasoning of choice ( I use salt/pepper and Mrs Dash)
pam spray
18 large foil baking cups
Place 18 foil cups on baking sheet and spray with PAM. Add a thin layer of flax seeds to the bottom of each cup to make a pseudo crust. Place about 1/4 cup veggies into each cup, sprinkle with some shredded cheese and sprinkle with some spices. In a separate bowl add one whole egg and 2 egg whites, add a splash of milk and a few drops of hot pepper sauce. Mix well and divide this between 3 cups. (3 cups makes one serving) Repeat 5 more times until all the cups are filled. Sometimes I top each cup with a thin slice of tomato. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Store in covered container. Freeze some and refrigerated the rest. Place 3 cups on a baking tray and place in toaster oven or regular oven and reheat for 15-20 mins. Makes breakfast for 6 days. I spend about 1/2 hour one day a week and make breakfast for 6 days.

I have gotten a couple of emails with a general concern that some of you have not lost a significant amount of weight yet and feel that you should have. I do not want any of you to get discouraged as this is pretty normal for several reasons:
1) Typically, your body takes about 4 weeks to adjust to any changes. Whether it be dietary changes, exercise routine changes or even a medication protocol. This is why most things are prescribed in 4 week increments. Ever get a prescription from the doctor? What is the usual time frame he prescribes you to take that medication? 4 weeks. Right? If you obtain an injury and it requires physical therapy what is the usual prescription? 3 times a week for 4 weeks? Right? Well the same goes for diet and exercise. Your body will take approximately 4 weeks to adjust to any changes in these components as well. Just be patient in that regards.
