Tip #7
Eat Fat, Lose Fat
by Dr. John Berardi To lose fat, sometimes you have to eat fat. Monounsaturated fats and certain polyunsaturates actually speed up the metabolic rate. Lipid researchers believe that the best of the fat burning bunch are the highly unsaturated omega 3s called EPA and DHA. A diet supplemented with omega 3-rich fish oil promotes losses of body fat with simultaneous gains in lean mass.

If you are going through a stage of counting calories, do you weigh and record carefully or do you approximate. Both systems have validity depending on your experience and goals, but is is has been recognised that many people have difficulty in estimating the amount of food they eat. This may mean that you are eating less or more calories than you need to loose bodyfat. Eating less can slow down your metabolism and result in fat gain and eating too much without doing the appropriate amount of exercise can result in fat gain. Either way, it can be the difference between actually reaching your fat loss goals and not.

Tip #6
The Organic Debate
by Dr. John Berardi The average person should consume two pieces of fruit and three servings of vegetables per day as a minimum. Athletes probably need even more – I recommend 10-15 servings per day for each of my athletes. Expert often spend too much time arguing about organic vs. regular fruits and veggies. I agree that raw, organic fruits and vegetables are best since they have a higher micronutrient count, but any fruits and veggies are better than none! Get sufficient fruits and vegetables in your diet before worrying about whether they’re organic or not. Once you’ve done that, worry on.
