[QUOTE="Stretch, post: 548823, member: 412"] Probably the best KISS method right there. It isn't rocket science, just eat smart. We all know what is relatively healthy and what isn't. I won't even get into the meal timing etc because I already know most of us don't have the time to even consider that stuff. Eat a healthy breakfast to kickstart your metabolism in the AM. I suck at this so I typically try and keep some hardboiled eggs and fruit around the house that is easy to grab on my way out the door. Usually a protein shake as soon as I get to work. If you must snack, snack healthy. I keep a case or two of Kind Bar's and Oh Yeah One Bars or some kind of protein or semi-healthy snack bar in my desk at the office usually for those moments so I don't run out and grab a candy bar or bag of chips or some **** like that. As for exercise, find something you like. It is different for everyone. My situation isn't like most so I don't expect someone to follow it to a T. 29, no kids, former college athlete so I know a little bit about staying healthy. I am really lucky to have a full gym at my office so my excuses are only "I was too ****ing lazy to go work out" and "I just felt like eating that big double tray with two corndogs and a huge tea".
