ABS AFTER 40 GBGB link: After 40 Nutrition Nutrition – Week 24: Mark’s Cheat Meal Guide: The Perfect Cheat Meal Ideas And The Cheats To AvoidABS AFTER 40 NUTRITION SYSTEMHey guys and welcome to your Abs After 40 nutrition system.Men 40 and up who are looking to get into the best shape of their lives not only need a workout program designed specifically to their needs, but more importantly, a diet plan tailored to their needs.This is because men who are above the age of 40 have completely different metabolisms, hormone processes as well as life priorities that demand an alternative approach to dieting from what the younger crowd practices.In this video I will break down the basics on how my Abs After 40 nutrition system will work in synergy with my workout program to promote long lasting fat loss and rejuvenate your hormones. We will be doing just that through my specific, easy-to-prepare meal options from my weekly meal plan blueprint that can be prepared just once a week, in under 60 minutes.The main principle behind my nutrition system is this: Food is for function. The food choices that are within my meal guide will serve as the ideal fuel sources to power your body through your workouts, boost your energy levels, rev up your fat-burning metabolism and most critically, support the production of your number one muscle-building hormone, testosterone.Eliminating foods that are processed, modified and packed with artificial ingredients will not serve your body as fuel at all… And neither will skipping meals or overeating… And so many men, especially men who are over 40, don’t even know where to start when it comes to the right foods to eat, how to prepare them, when to eat them or what a proper portion size even looks like. Well, that’s exactly why I’ve done the work for you here with my Abs After 40 12 week nutrition system.So let’s get started with how this system works: The main objective of your Abs After 40 meal schedule is to firstly begin eating 3 meals a day, (breakfast, lunch and dinner,) with the addition of two small snacks inbetween the meals.Each week you will receive a new video from me containing your meal plan blueprint. This weekly blueprint outlines 3 meal choices along with 3 healthy snack choices that you can choose from to add into your daily diet. The nutrition system is structured progressively – meaning that as you move through each phase, you’ll work towards replacing what you currently eat each day with the meal options that I will be relaying to you each week from my blueprint.In Phase 1, your goal will be to replace at least 2 of your normal meals (either breakfast, lunch or dinner) with 2 of the 3 choices that I lay out for you. You should also aim to add in at least 1 healthy snack.In Phase 2, your goal again will be to replace at least 2 of your normal meals (either breakfast, lunch or dinner) with 2 of the choices that I lay out for you along with at least 1 of the healthy snacks.In Phase 3, your goal will be to replace all 3 of your normal meals with any of the Abs After 40 approved breakfast, lunch and dinner choices. Once you’ve reached the final phase, you should be adding two of the metabolism-boosting snacks into your daily meal schedule as well.The Phase 1 nutrition blueprint contains low carb meal options which are designed to amplify your fat loss and speed up your body’s metabolism. The Phase 2 nutrition blueprint consists of a wide variety of research validated T-boosting foods that will aid in the overall phase goal of ramping up your testosterone production. Remember, the foods that we eat directly impact the health and functionality of our hormones, especially testosterone – So it’s important to implement these meals from my nutrition blueprint accordingly in order to get the full testosterone boosting effect during phase 2. And finally, the phase 3 blueprint calls for a blend of both phase 1 and phase 2 meal options. This will assist you in trimming off the final few remaining pounds of excess body fat and allow you to maintain the added definition and tone that you’ve gained over the course of the program.My weekly meal plan blueprint will serve as an easy to follow structure that does not require very much sacrifice at all, especially as you are just getting started with your transformation in Phase 1. However, as you begin to move into Phase 2, you will begin to see the positive results from amping up the minor meal changes and I guarantee you – staying on track will begin to get easier and easier! Each week I’ll be giving you all of my tricks and tips on how to prepare and store your food for simplicity, convenience and of course, for time efficiency.Each meal will be built based off of my handy portion control guide that simplifies your portions without spending unnecessary time weighing or measuring your portions – Two closed fists will roughly be 6-8 oz of protein, the palm of your hand will roughly equal between 3-5 oz of your carb portions and the typical dietary-fat portion will be the size of your thumb. These are easy approximations for you to utilize in order to put your meals together in a timely fashion, rather than spending unnecessary time weighing or measuring out each individual portion – Using these “hand” portions will make your meal sizes and portions a no-brainer.Along with my weekly meal variety blueprint, you will also get 4 “Advanced Nutrition” videos where I get into the nitty gritty on subjects that, from my experience, tend to be some of the largest obstacles for men like us who are striving to achieve their weight loss goals. Questions such as “What can I do if my spouse or kids refuse to support my diet efforts”, “How can I stick to my diet plan if I’m busy or travel often”, or “Is it possible to maintain a social life while dieting and training?” These are real concerns for guys our age and they deserve real answers. A lot of my guidance comes from real life experience from my years of personally transforming my own body and mind, and I’ll be sharing all of that with you soon – My goal is to make this clean eating plan part of your lifestyle and not just some trendy fad diet.It’s also important to always remember that when it comes to achieving your fitness goals, the nutrition aspect will be your ultimate key to your success – Especially if you are seeking long-lasting fat loss, and not just a fad diet or quick fix. Without a sound nutrition program that supports your mind, muscle, and hormone function, reaching your full body-sculpting potential won’t be possible.
