1. Eat Smaller, More Frequent Meals. This will keep you full and prevent your from overeating. Additionally, eating more often keeps your metabolism firing on all cylinders.
2. Make Sure You’re Eating Enough Protein. This is key to building lean mass. Protein requires the most energy for your body to process. Last, consuming protein at every meal will help optimize digestion and absorption by lowering the glycemic load of any meal.
3. Choose low glycemic index carbohydrates. We'll talk about the good magical carbs in our presentation below, but for now, remember that low glycemic carbs are the perfect solution to becoming lean.

4. Have sweets for breakfast. In the morning your metabolism is in a low because you’ve presumably been fasting for at least 8 hours (provided you didn’t sneak a late night snack). Your body needs fast digesting carbs in the morning. Having a sweet and a protein shake is a great way to satisfy cravings, jumpstart your metabolism, and get you going for the day. As always, moderation is key. Pop Tarts anyone? Be aware thought, one or two is fine, three or more is NOT.
5. Caffeine is your friend.In the morning, and pre workout. It’s a powerful, natural, and safe fat burning agent.
6. Stay well hydrated. Water is essential for your metabolism. It helps you digest food. And it keeps you feeling full.

7. Get enough sleep. Muscles aren’t built in the gym, they’re built while you’re recovering. The majority of this recovery happens overnight. Your growth hormone levels tend to peak about 4-6 hours into your sleep cycle. What’s more, sleep deprivation increase stress hormones, which actually lead to your body holding onto fat. And studies have shown that deprivation increase carbohydrate cravings. So make sure to get plenty of sleep!
