"Womens and Mens Abs Are Made and Lost in the Kitchen!"

Nutrition is so important in losing body fat! The kitchen is where you actually start to change your body! In this blog post I will outline some of the key things you must have in your kitchen to make your body transformation complete!

1) Ziplock containers and baggies and Portable Cooler. - This is so important! You must have portable storage containers so you can take your food everywhere you go. You must eat at minimal every three hours, so you have to have healthy food with you at office meetings, at work, and at social occasions.

2) Spices - Eating clean can be tough so ts great to have a cupboard dedicated to spices, and low fat seasonings that can be used while cooking up of all your yummy meals!

3)Measuring Spoons - Yes very basic but you must have measuring cups and spoons to measure out food sizes and portions.

4)Vegetables and Fruits - Lots of greens in the fridge and low glycemic fruits such as apples, berries, peaches, pears, plums. All these foods have low calories that pack a nutrient dense punch!

5) Clean burning carbohydrates - Foods such as oatmeal, brown rice, yams, red potatoes, rye breads give you the much needed energy to fuel your workouts and get you through the day!

6) Healthy fats! - Yes we need fat in our diets! You should have natural peanut butter, almond butter, nuts, coconut oil, essential fats (AUUM Omega 3's) Avocados and fresh fish all stocked away. These fats are essential to every single cell in your body and help shuttle vitamins and minerals to the muscles.

7) Protein - The most overlooked macronutrient in a lifestyle program. Protein helps build the metabolism and provide the building blocks for all of our cells. Your fridge should be holding cottage cheese, eggs, skinless boneless chicken, lean cuts of meat, fresh fish such as salmon, cod, halibut, tuna, etc. Cupboards should be filled with tuna, whey protein powder, protein bars, nuts.

Following these simple guidelines you should be able to make your abs in the kitchen!
