Are you struggling to get leaner? Do you battle to get into your favorite pair of jeans? Do you love eating?
Every Other Day Diet plan tips from Jon Benson may be just the recipe you need to break the 'going on yet another fad diet' habit. Yes, you can get leaner while enjoying eating!
Every Other Day Diet plan tips are easy to understand, practical and doable. '7 Minute Muscle' author, Jon Benson, shared his favorite 5 tips with me recently and gave me permission to pass them along to you, in order to give you a running start, so here goes...
EveryOtherDayDiet TIP 1 - Ditch The Starch
Starches, such as rice, potatoes, some veggies, oats, etc. are often considered "health foods".
While they can be healthy, they can also pack on stomach bodyfat like crazy if you overdo them.
Not happy with the thought of not having rice or potatoes when eating? My Every Other Day Diet plan (EODD) actually encourages eating starches and even sweets several days a week to get rid of excess weight!
Well... how does THAT work?
Simple: Timing is everything.
We take a "weekly" approach to foods rather than a daily approach. This keeps your metabolism guessing. If your body cannot figure out what you're up to, fatburning is that much more powerful. And you can get by with eating starches... at least a specific times on specific days.
But if you're not going to follow the Every Other Day Diet Plan (EODD), then you'll have to wing it. And the best way to wing it is to simply cut starches out entirely for 4-8 weeks. Then slowly add them back a few days per week.
This is no where near as effective (or as fun) as eating according to the Every Other Day Diet (EODD) method, but it will get you pointed in the right direction.
EveryOtherDayDiet TIP 2 - Can The Sodas
This one is really hard for me. I've been hooked on diet-soda on and off for years. When I go to get into top shape (like I am now) I have to get rid of the diet-sodas... yes, DIET-sodas. Need I say "real" sodas too? They are loaded with sugar.
Why diet-sodas? A recent study revealed that people who drank diet-sodas actually increased bodyfat when compared to those who drank sugar-sodas. What the... ??
Yep. Your body cannot be fooled by aspartame and chemicals. Sorry, but that's the truth.
Here's a personal story: When I cut out the diet-sodas my bodyfat drops like a rock in a pond of clear water.
And that's what you need to be drinking: A quart of pure water per 50 lbs of bodyweight a day.
I mix it with lemon and a bit of Stevia (an herbal sweetener) and make lemonade. It's wonderful!
EveryOtherDayDiet TIP 3 - Stay Hungry
Arnold's first movie was "Stay Hungry" (well, after "Pumping Iron" that is). You cannot rest on your butt and stay hungry. You cannot think you've "arrived" and stay hungry.
It takes a special person to be hungry... and an even greater one to stay that way.
I want you to stay hungry in two ways: In how you workout and literally... stay a bit hungry before you go to bed. Not "starving"... just a bit hungry.
For your workouts, I have a great solution. If you pick up the Every Other Day Diet Plan (EODD), you'll get a limited shot at "7 Minute Body"... my combination of "7 Minute Muscle" and "The 7 Minute In-Home Workout" in one book... and for more than half off... but that's a very limited deal. Gotta be eating with the Every Other Day Diet Plan (EODD)... you'll need them both...
You see, progression -- "forced" progression -- is the best way to stay hungry. 7 Minute Body forces you to progress without thinking about it. Progression is built into the System.
As far as staying hungry at night? Here's another quick tip. Keep hard-boiled eggs in the fridge. If you get really hungry, eating one with half the yolk (toss the other half.) can really help. It keeps me full for an hour at least.
EveryOtherDayDiet TIP 4 - Cardio Clarity
Hours and hours of cardio a day is not the answer. However, you can do "light" cardio (i.e. brisk walking, or riding the bike at 60% of your max) just to burn off calories. That's okay... and personally I don't find it that boring if I'm watching a TV show. It does not interfere with my main fatloss exercise (weight training... YES!) and it burns off about 400 calories an hour.
What does work is early morning fasting cardio... but you only need 9-15 minutes. I explain the GXP Protocol (Modified) in the 7 Minute Body book, available only if you pick up the Every Other Day Diet Plan (EODD), and you can get it at more than half off:
EveryOtherDayDiet TIP 5 - Get Raw At Night
Raw veggies with your last meal and as a snack will really help your fatburning along. I started with red peppers because they're sweet. Now I eat virtually every veggie raw at night without thinking about it. Give this a shot. The fatloss is well worth it.
Note From Rika Susan: At the time of writing, Jon is still giving away the "Radical Fatloss Blueprint" along with the Every Other Day Diet Plan (EODD). And he is giving a lucky few the chance to pick up the Supplement-Kit that comes with Radical Fatloss for almost 100 bucks off... the video and details are here (One last tip: Be sure to watch right through...the special deal is at the end of the video):
