Diet For A Toned and Sculpted Body


The reality is no matter how much exercise you are doing or how much you’ve spent on the workout equipments; you’ll never achieve that ripped look and without the proper diet to go along with your workouts.

Here are 3 diet guidelines that can help:

1- Eat small meals
roughly 6 times every day instead of 3 large meals. Make your meals a mix of good carbs, protein and good fats. The small, frequent meals can increase your metabolism while at the same time, help you build lean muscle mass.

2- Consume lean protein, like tuna fish; scrambled or boiled egg-whites; and cooked, broiled or boiled chicken.  And avoid using sauces or high-fat condiments. To be more efficient, you should start using a diet journal so you can keep track of unhealthy diet habits.


3- Eat some carbs, but make sure they are good carbs, such as brown rice, sweet potatoes, fruits and vegetables. You can use the glycemic index to further help you make wise diet decisions.

Bonus Tip:

  Combine this diet along with exercises, such as crunches, sit-ups,  hanging leg raise, squats and leg lifts, and you'll be on your way to having the chiselled abs you want without the expense of those pricey machines.
