Ever wonder what it takes to get lean or shredded?
A desire by many, but I’ll be honest and share with you some of the most important tips on getting there.
1) Designed Meal Plan- specifically crafted from someone who has the background and knowledge to manipulate your body with food. ($$)
2) Eating 6-8 times per day
3) Eating the same foods and food groups for 3 months or more
4) NOT having a cheat meal or a “this won’t hurt” or “just this one” time meal.
5) Giving up alcohol
6) Giving up all sugars and processed foods
7) Giving up all seasonings, sauces, and taste
Eating for fuel not for taste

So, are you ready to go for it?
Honestly, I’d LOVE to be shredded, but I personally don’t enjoy living my life under such structure and restriction (at least to me, it feels that way as I have done this for the max time of a month)
Hoping this helps you and someone you know who finds themselves disappointed that they just aren’t shredded.
It’s ok. Find your healthy. Find your strong. Find your flexible!
