Get your Fill of Fiber

RULE OF THE WEEK #7

A lot of people talk about nothing but protein to get you the lean body results you want. While it certainly plays a role in helping you grow stronger, fiber is one element of your food that you're going to want if you want to get your waistline shredded. Fiber leads to a feeling of fullness. It's the bulk associated with foods like brocolli, salads, squash, carrots, asparagus, etc. that fills your stomach and makes you feel less like stopping by a What-a-Burger to try one of everything on the menu! When you combine this with frequent eating (Every 2 1/2 to 3 hours) you have a lethal one-two punch that should leave your body fat shaking, knowing it's days are over.

FINAL THOUGHTS

While Fiber is an awesome weapon against weight gain, don't go overboard-http://www.hulu.com/watch/10304/saturday-night-live-colon-blow

THIS WEEKS TIP

Try to get 30-40 grams of fiber each day. Not only does it slow down food absorption (and therefore control blood sugar) but it will ramp up the metabolism.

Something that not only keeps you filling full but you need to survive. Your body craves it when you first wake up and you need half your body weight in it...Figured it out yet?
