But unfortunately many of these people fall beside the wayside long before they reach their lofty goals. They succumb to disappointment and frustration and end up with exactly the opposite of where they wanted to be. How can this happen, how have they failed to maintain a fitness lifestyle long enough to reach their goals? The secret is in your mind. Every new action plan starts with changes to some basic fundamentals in thought which will allow the changes to happen with ease and simplicity.

Start eating small meals (5-7 of them) each day and focus on making sure you have around 20 grams of protein in each one. Add lots of raw and cooked vegetables to rebuild health and create energy. Eat every 2-3 hours and once you get used to this way of eating you will never go back to eating whatever, whenever which is not the way to get and stay lean and slim. Make an effort each evening to prepare your meals for the next day. This is the secret to making this eating plan work. You will not then be tempted to eat things which will not help you move towards your goals. 3. Take action ? If you just start these two things (your proper exercise and eating plan) and work at the steps for improvement (not perfection) you will be well on the way to exactly what you want. You will achieve with ease and simplicity your dream of a strong, lean, slim, energetic and healthy body.
