In my Athlete Training Program book I talk about the 7 phases of making the Mentabolic shift. This is simply taking a new outlook and attitude towards your sports fitness goals. It is the most important attribute you can develop if you want to improve as a person or athlete!

The second area of the Mentabolic shift is taking action. So many times people get caught up in the thought of the cost of what it takes to transform their body and mind, they lose sight of the tremendous benefits that come from a very lean, healthy and fit physique.

When you lose sight because you are focused on how hard it is to figure out your meals or prepare your food or whatever other excuse you come up with, just re-focus on where you want to go.

Trust me, being lean, stronger and fit will only help your day to day activities and self confidence!

One of the key set backs for many people in the training process of getting leaner is measuring their calorie and macro-nutrient levels. At first most will try and stay true to this but in time get off track.

This is an area that can always be fixed real quick. Just get out your food scale and get back to measuring and see what happens to your body. It always works. The reason people lose ground is that they become unfocused and extra food or the wrong food slips into the diet.

Make a commitment to get back on track with your food measurements but also your training. Remember that good old interval training (elevating your heart rate with compound exercises like squats, chin ups and running) will always help strip unwanted body fat. If you get your intervals in and dial in your food you will be on your way!

For those of you looking for a new recipe, I am including a lasagna recipe. It is great for people on the Iso-Bolic diet or as a carb meal on the Keto-Bolic diet every 5th to 7th day.
