My diet

The Nutrition Tactics

1. Choose liberally from the Fat-Burning Time Zone foods. Feel free to eat any combination of these foods until you feel satisfied, but not stuffed. These "restrictions" sound too easy to work, but study after study has shown that eating this way promises more dramatic fat loss than any other approach -- without the need to count calories.


2. Consume high-quality protein at every meal. Eating protein ensures that your body always has the raw material available to build and maintain muscle, even while you lose fat.


3. Don't fear fat. Fat is crucial in helping you control the total number of calories you eat -- it makes you feel satisfied.


4. Indulge on vegetables. On average, the most successful low-carb dieters consume at least 4 servings of low-starch vegetables a day. That's almost any vegetable other than potatoes, carrots, and corn.


5. Avoid sugar and starch. Avoid bread, pasta, potatoes, beans, rice, fruit, milk, candy, regular soda, and baked goods -- as well any other foods that contain grains, flour or sugar.

These foods either raise blood sugar and insulin levels, or replenish glycogen -- all of which inhibit your body's ability to burn fat for energy.

You might be surprised to see fruit and milk on this list, but it's not because either are unhealthy -- they simply provide too many glycogen-replenishing carbs, in the form of natural sugars.
