Ground Rule #7: Always keep the right kinds of snack on hand

[hidepost=1] Almonds, Pecans and Other Nuts You never know when you’re going to be unable to eat for longer than the 2½-3 hour gap between meals. Having a bag of non-salted almonds or another kind of nut will help you keep the metabolism up and prevent you from eating too much when you sit down for the next meal. Strategies like this will also keep you from stopping at a fast-food restaurant and consuming something that you’ll regret later. Eat Plenty of Berries Raspberries and Blueberries are jam packed with fat blasting goodness. They have high levels of vitamin c, antioxidants, and of course, fiber. They combat our common enemies: obesity, cancer, and heart disease. Berries also help prevent cravings, short-term memory loss and even improve balance which is very important for the type of workouts you’re going to be doing. All this, and there are even many studies that suggest that these berries are so well broken down by the body that very few calories remain to go to fat— meaning you can often eat and eat and eat these berries without fear of putting on weight.
