Be flexible with cheat meals
It is important to have a cheat meal for two reasons; firstly, it will reset
your metabolism and actually help you to continue losing weight; and
secondly, having the foods you crave every now and again just
makes it easier for you to stick to the diet long term.
My recommendations for cheat meals either includes eating as
much clean food as you can for an hour (which allows you to
eat a bit more food than usual) or by eating one dirty meal per
week. Make sure to limit this to just one plate of food and don’t
absolutely pig-out. I prefer this method as it makes it easier to
have a life. You can go out for supper with friends, enjoy family
gatherings and make the most of the holidays.

Supplement correctly
Supplements are a great way to speed-up fat loss, especially if everything else is in check. These
can not only help you maintain lean muscle mass while shredding unwanted poundage, but can
also help you melt that poundage faster. When ripping-out, I always make sure to use a good whey
protein, BCAAs, glutamine, multi-vitamins and a powerful fat burner.
