Dial in Your Nutrition – #SweetPotatoDiet

If you are not on a custom meal plan at the moment and you are struggling with dialing in your nutrition, I want to tell you some things you can do to help you shed those extra pounds. Here are 4 things that you should do in with your diet if you are still struggling to get those extra pounds off and you want to tweak your nutrition to work in your favor.

  1. Replace all of your carbohydrates with sweet potatoes. It doesn’t matter if the carb is processed, unprocessed, refined or unrefined, I want you to replace all the active carbohydrates in your diet with sweet potato. These doesn’t mean to replace your vegetables with sweet potatoes as they are not active carbs. If you are eating your sweet potato with a meal, you will want to eat about the size of your fist and if you are eating them as a snack, you will want to eat about half a fist.

While you are doing this and posting to your social media accounts, please use the hashtag #sweetpotatodiet. This is because I will have a book coming out in January 2017 called The Sweet Potato Diet and it will be 250 pages of carb cycling, why it makes sense, anabolic versus catabolic and how to balance it.

  1. Make sure you are staying hydrated. You should be drinking half of your body weight in ounces every single day. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, you need to consume 100 ounces of water a day.
  1. You need to be eating a palm-sized piece of protein at every meal throughout your day. Whether you are eating beef, chicken, pork, lamb, or turkey, you need to be eating a palm size amount of protein for each meal. The catch is, when you begin to eat, you need to eat your protein first, before your carbohydrates or your fats. This is because protein is the most satiating food and has the highest thermic effect of food, which means it takes more for your body to digest it. This means that you burn more calories digesting protein than your carbohydrates or your fats.
  1. The last thing you should be doing is drinking an 8-ounce cup of coffee 30 minutes before your workout and you need to drink it black. No sugars and no cream. Down it. Not only will it give you added energy, but it also boosts your metabolism and acts as a fat burner.

The key to getting this strategy to work is consistency. Proper nutrition is a lifestyle and consistency is what makes it work.

It is also crucial to remember that nutrition only plays half the role in losing fat and getting into shape and its fat loss is your goal, HIIT workouts are the best because they target fat, only take 15-20 minutes, and will keep burning fat hours after your workout is done.

Now, mix HIIT workouts, as seen in HIIT MAX™, with an easily to follow, Custom Meal Plan, in which you can incorporate all of these tips, and you will be burning fat faster than you ever have before! You won’t have to wait for results, as you will begin to see them for yourself, fast!
