If you want to lose fat and build muscle, you need to plan ahead. I’m not talking about packing your lunches the night before, but planning out the next 12 weeks, meal by meal, grocery trip by grocery trip, workout by workout.
That level of planning leads to exceptional results. And it helps you avoid setbacks caused by making poor last-minute decisions that conflict with your fitness goals.
So take a few hours, right now, to put together your complete diet and exercise plan for the next three months. You might find this incredibly hard, or perhaps incredibly liberating – but each time you do it, you will get better at it.
Do the hard work in your head and the physical fat loss will be easy!
