Tip #8
Fiber Facts
by Dr. John Berardi

Shoot for about 40-50g of mixed fiber per day, but no more. The absolute lower limit is 20g per day. Your main fiber sources should be (in order of importance): vegetables, beans, nuts, fruit, and grains (like oatmeal). If you eat 1 oz of mixed nuts, 1 apple, 2 cups of kidney beans, and 2 cups of mixed vegetables each day, you’ll be getting 41g of fiber. Also, a small amount of supplemental fiber is okay. You can get soluble fiber from psyllium, guar gum, and apple pectin, and insoluble fiber from flax seeds.

If possible get others to join in with you when you are training as this can help to relieve boredom and also inspire you to be more focused with your training and improve your performance.

Always try to associate with positive people and those who will help you to reach your goals. Don’t accept any negative energy from others as this will only hinder your chances of success.

One of the safest ways of loosing fat and keeping it off is to change your approach to fat loss. Instead of relying on potentially unhealthy short term diets and exercise, make changes to your normal dietary and exercise patterns. Start implementing a dietary and exercise pattern that you can use for life. This approach allows you to maintain your fat loss which is one problem many people face. This approach does not mean that you can’t take advantage of well designed short term programs (Warp Speed Fat Loss or 10/10 Transformation) to give you some fast results, but it does mean that you continue on healthy exercise and dietary program once you reach your goal body composition.
