The most important meals are the breakfast and the post workout meal (makes sense only after really tough workouts). If your workout is not challenging enough you don't really have to bother!
Tip no 15

These choices will favor a better body composition.
Tip no 16
You absolutely don’t need a gym (except if you want to socialize or flirt!).
Try bodyweight circuits or dumbbell circuits in the convenience of your your home. You will save money and time! Of course you will need some self-motimation for this!
See again tip no 10.
Tip no 17

Tip no 18
Mind beats body! Make your mental preparation.
Fight to be consistent, disciplined and self motivated!
Tip no 19

- monounsaturated and omega-3 fats
- unprocessed, natural foods
- foods high in antioxidants
- minimal sugar,white flour and trans fats intake
