3 Rules for Getting a Healthy, Lean Body

This is probably the simplest diet ever. You'll find that when it comes to eating for a healthy, lean body, everything else is just details.

1. Embrace Fat

Research shows that diets containing upward of 50 percent fat are just as effective for weight loss as those  that are low in fat. "Fat is filling and it adds flavor to your meals, so it helps you avoid feeling deprived," says Alan Aragon, M.S., a nutritionist based in Thousand Oaks, California. In other words: Enjoy the fat in meat, dairy, avocados, olive oil, and nuts.
You won't store fat if you are not eating too many total calories.
Aragon's rule of thumb: Shoot for half a gram of fat for every pound of your desired body weight.


2. Prepare Your Own Meals
 
Cooking for yourself is your gateway to delicious meals made with healthy, fresh ingredients. 
USDA scientists recently found that men eat 500 more calories on days they consume fast foods compared with days they don't.

3. Eliminate added sugars

"This is the simplest way to clean up any diet," says Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., the author of The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth. According to a USDA survey, the average American eats about  20 teaspoons of added sugar daily, or 317 empty calories. The researchers report that 82 percent of that added sugar can be attributed to soda, baked goods, breakfast cereals, candy, and fruit drinks. This is what you can eat instead: Meat, vegetables, whole fruit, and eggs, along with unsweetened whole-grain and dairy products. Eat accordingly.
