Ok guys, as part of our back to school special, I wrote this article to arm the masses with six pack abs and nice figures (both guys and gals) to show off back to school. It is very rare to find a fighter below the heavyweight division with a less than stellar physique. Although known for their rigorous training, the secret to their lean bodies is proper nutrition. It doesn’t matter if you have a Ferrari if you don’t put good fuel in it, it will run like shit. So to get to the bottom line.
FIRST THINGS FIRST
Before I expand on the nutrition element, you need to workout. To lose weight diet and exercise go hand and hand with each other so go to the gym, run a few laps, hit the punching bag, do SOMETHING to get your body running!
NOW TO THE MEAT AND POTATOES
My diet follows the simple idea that you should not eat complex carbohydrates with protein on the same meal. By mixing carbohydrates w/ protein you are making your body work extra hard to digest every time you eat.
A SIMPLE BREAKDOWN
- Protein with Salad: 3:00 hours to digest
- Carbohydrates w/vegetable or salad: 1 hour 40 minutes to digest
- Fruits: 15 minutes to digest
- Fruits and Carbohydrates: 1 hour 40 Minutes
- Fruits and Protein: 3:00 hours to digest
- Protein and Carbohydrates: 7-10 HOURS TO DIGEST
*Fruits should be eaten by themselves, wait 15 minutes and you can have your carbohydrates or protein.
To make your metabolism work faster you need to eat every 3 hours on small portions. The only problem is if you mix carbohydrates with Animal protein (fish, chicken, steak, pork) it will take longer than 3 hours to digest. Making your body work extra hard and resulting in fatigue, sleepiness.
SAMPLE DIET
Morning: Fruits, Wheat Bread w. olive oil and Green Tea
15 Minutes Before Lunch: Fruit
Lunch: Protein, Salad or Vegetables
15 min Before Snack: Fruit
Snack: Wheat Bread or almonds
Dinner: Whole wheat pasta or brown rice, sweet potato and vegetables
30 min Before Bed: Almonds
So here it is, a simple game plan for you to follow to help you lose weight. Follow this for now and I will provide more articles expanding on this knowledge and keep everyone looking and feeling great!

Hi. I’m very much in need of losing weight.
There are many methods that I’ve tried. I pay
very strict attention on my sugar and fat
intake. At times I’m quite particular on
proteins as well. For now I keep to consuming
more organic vegetables. Yet my weight
remains the same. I’ve searched around a
little bit and found this weight loss method.
The website is

Has anyone heard of it? Is it effective?
Hey AJ,
I took a look at the site and it looks like another fad diet. You gotta get the idea of dieting out of your head and strive to create a lifestyle change. Eating healthy and organic should be a natural ordinary thing for your general well being.
Also in order for you to lose weight, you HAVE TO EXERCISE, dieting is not enough and vice versa. There must be an equal balance between the two to achieve fat loss. A great way for you to workout is to join a martial arts school and sign up for a class, perhaps a Muay Thai class or a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class. These classes give you a plethora of knowledge of Martial Arts and will get your butt in shape. I found martial arts as a better solution to going to the weight room and just lifting.
Where do you fit in the beer consumption?
