RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip: 

Diets DO NOT work! They're short term solutions to long term problems. Know what works if you do it every day? These TEN tips! 


1) Calculate your own specific daily calorie limit & start staying within it daily. 


2) 

Eat something SMALL every three hours. 





3) Avoid bad saturated/trans fats and start eating more poly & mono unsaturated fats/Omega-3 good fats. 





4) Eat high glycemic carbs (ex: bread/pasta/rice/oat) ONLY after you exercise. No exercise = you don't have them. Eat low glycemic carbs (ex: fruits/veggies) the rest of the day because they digest slowly. 





5) Every time you eat have a lean protein food & consume a whey isolate protein (ex: ISOPURE) after every time you exercise (weights & cardio). 





6) Don't drink alcohol. 





7) Limit sodium intake to no more than 1200mg/day. 





8) Drink 80-120oz of water daily. 





9) Limit sugar consumption because excess sugar is turned into body fat & so do "sugar free" foods/drinks.




10) Get enough sleep every night.
