You can't turn fat into muscle

Weight training helps build up the muscle tissue in and around any fat tissue. The best way to reduce fat tissue is to eat a healthy diet that incorporates vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats like those found in olive oil and fish.

  • Hunger

    Chronic hunger generally indicates that your diet is imbalanced or inadequate, which can cause your body to conserve energy and resist weight loss. Include healthy foods that boost satiety and keep you fuller longer , namely those high in lean protein (organic eggs, poultry, fish, beans and lentils), fiber (fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, lentils), and good fat (avocado, nuts, seeds, and extra virgin olive and coconut oils).

  • Keto diet meals

    Followers must eat fat at each meal: Some healthy unsaturated fats are allowed: almonds, walnuts, seeds, avocados, tofu, and olive oil. But saturated fats from oils (palm, coconut), lard, butter, and cocoa butter are encouraged in high amounts. Protein is part of the keto diet, but it doesn't typically discriminate between lean protein foods and protein sources high in saturated fat such as beef, pork, and bacon. You can have certain fruits (usually berries) in small portions. Vegetables  are restricted to leafy greens (kale, Swiss chard, spinach), cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, bell peppers, onions, garlic, mushrooms, cucumber, celery, and summer squashes.

  • The Mediterranean Diet

    The diet is abundant in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and olive oil.   It features fish and poultry —lean sources of protein—over red meat.  Red wine is consumed regularly but in moderate amounts.

  • You won't be hungry all the time

    Don't give up solid food during a detox , as this can imbalance your blood sugar levels and potentially disrupt your hormones.  Do eat a diet that consists of mostly vegetables, lean protein sources, some fruits, raw nuts and seeds, and perhaps a minimal amount of gluten-free grains like rice or quinoa. Give your body a break from “offender” foods like alcohol, sugar, caffeine and dairy.  Curb hunger on a detox with plenty of healthy fat, which is found in foods like avocado or coconut oil.
