Fat Loss Diet and Nutrition Post…by Brad Campbell

My favorite weekly holiday, “Fat Hater Friday,” is upon us once again.  As if I needed any more reason to be giddy, I just got done with a Tacfit Commando bodyweight workout, plus 15-minutes of ‘throwback intervals’ (I’ll explain in the next post).

So I’m sitting here, dripping with sweat, waiting to cool down before I hit up an ice cold shower.  I can’t stand weeks where I enter the weekend in a fitness funk.  Fortunately, this was definitely NOT one of those weeks.  Hope it wasn’t for you either.

Okay, what’s on tap for this blog post?  Wait, speaking of tap, I could really go for a tall Dos Equis with two limes later tonight.  On one hand, I deserve it… but on the other hand, it’s not my cheat day.  What to do, what to do…

I’ll continue that internal struggle in my head.  Told ya I was borderline ADHD.

Right now, I wanted to share with you one of my fat loss diet go-to snacks…

You already know that an awesome lean body snack has to be high in protein and low in carbs.  It’s gotta be quick, convenient and portable.  And if it tastes good and contains healthy fats, these are major bonuses as well, right?

You got it, dude.

One snack that meets this criteria that I use constantly is tuna.  But not just any tuna– I buy the flavored tuna packets.  My favorite is the Starkist Tuna Creations Hickory Smoked.  You can also rock the following flavors:

* Herb & Garlic Tuna (a little strong for my liking)

* Sweet & Spicy Tuna (this stuff is bomb as well)

* Zesty Lemon Pepper Tuna (I hate pepper, so my opinion doesn’t matter)

* Tomato Pesto Albacore Tuna (kinda strange, I’m not gonna lie)

* Mango Chipotle Salmon (also a little different, but good in a salad)

As you can see, I’m kind of a tuna junkie.  But these ‘packet thingies’ make it SO much easier to take this with you…no can opener necessary.

These things make it a lot easier to choke down tuna too, since the plain stuff is like eating stale socks.

If you don’t like tuna, I’d still recommend giving these a chance.  Just grab a spoon and eat it right out of the pouch for an easy snack that’ll promote lean muscle building, fat loss and a ripped physique.

I like to eat half for my morning snack and finish the other half for my afternoon snack.  Notice the theme here…I’m always preparing meals or snacks that I can eat multiple times throughout the day, or even a couple days in a row.  The only way to succeed with a strict and extreme fat loss diet, is to make it convenient to put the right things in your trap.

Seems obvious, but I can’t believe how many times I’ve heard:  “But I had to get fast food, I didn’t have time to make anything healthy…”

Seriously.  Plan ahead and remove all obstacles from your path to hard body success.

Two last things:

—> Yes, this will contain more sodium (it’s always gonna be something), so don’t scarf down seven packets per day or anything crazy like that.

—> No, this still won’t taste as good as pizza.  If you want a great body, it’s not about eating for pleasure or doing only what your taste buds command you to do.  At some point you’re gonna have to suck it up and eat for fuel, performance, repair and to look HOT.

I’ve got more lean body snacks and advanced fat loss diet tips on deck.  Batter up…

I almost forgot, you might want to have some gum handy if you’re getting tuna-rific on the go.  No one likes fish breath.

Your Coach,
