- Soak Up The Grease
If you must have a hamburger, slice of pizza, or something else similarly greasy, blot out the grease with a paper towel. - Ditch the Donuts
The average donut has at least 300 calories, the majority of which come from fat. Instead, have an english muffin for bagel with jelly or the cream cheese of your choice. - Water It Down
You are already aware that you should drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. We recommend you just buy the big jug and drink out of that. Want to lose weight? Just add water. - Get Cookin'
Cook dinner and eat in at least 5 days out of the week. It will save you a substantial amount of money and provide you with more control over the whole family's diet. - Pack a Lunch
Work is long and people love to make it compensate with fattening temptations. Pack a lunch of lean meat, vegetables and complex carbs. Plan ahead, take it with you everyday and you won't have any surprise temptations. - Eat Your Carbs Early In The Day
Carbohydrates are the body's perferred energy source so eat them early in the day when you're most likely to use them. There is absolutely no reason to ever eat them at night or before bed. - Schedule Your Workouts
Don't let your workout become a casualty in the war to get everything done. Schedule your workouts with all your meetings and obligations and don't end your day until it's done. - Sacrifice Soda
Soda is filled with high fructose corn syrup and unecessary calories. Drink water instead. Most people lose weight just from giving up soda alone. - Have an Egg-cellent Breakfast
Eggs, specifically the whites, are very lean, meaning low in fat, and contain no carbs. It's the cleanest source of protein you'll. Have at least 2 eggs for breakfast every single day. - Walk It out
Walking at a strenuous pace has been shown to burn close to as many calories as running, with less stress and discomfort. Take a walk for 30 minutes a day. It'll get you moving and give you time to relax and clear your head. If you have access to cardio machines, up the incline and the speed for a great calorie burn.
Follow these steps and notice that you feel better, look better, and have more energy. Your clean eating habits will yield their best results when coupled with a consistent cardio and weight training program providing you with adequate exercise at least 3-5 times per week.
