My Daily Foods

Many of you have written asking what I eat on a typical day. These are the foods I eat frequently, often daily, that keep me feeling strong and healthy!

· Bananas--I eat one daily.

· Oatmeal--steelcut only.

· Hard-boiled eggs--they contain every amino acid your body needs.

· Free-range chicken breasts--add fresh rosemary, garlic cloves, a touch of olive oil and bake. (You can store them in the · refrigerator up to 3 days.)

· Almond butter and peanut butter—natural organic, and in moderation.

· Apples

· Fresh orange--one daily.

· Bio K--I drink this with pure unsweetened pomegranate juice or cranberry juice first thing every morning before breakfast.

· Natural plain yogurt--sweetened with cinnamon.

· Blueberries

· Raw walnuts, pecans, or almonds—a couple of handfuls daily.

· Spinach—daily. It helps protect the vision from macular degeneration.

· Baked potato—I bake ahead of time and store in the refrigerator, then slice and heat.

· Organic milk only.

· Dark chocolate. With at least 40 percent cocoa beans or solids, and non-alkalized or only lightly alkalized. About 100 calories daily.

· Strawberries. Organic.

· Café latte made with organic non-fat or low-fat milk

·Cinnamon. One-half teaspoon daily in oatmeal or yogurt, for example. May help lower blood glucose levels and lessen your risk of diabetes.

·Wheat germ. Can be added to oatmeal, yogurt or cottage cheese.

10 Steps To Getting Your Best Abs Ever - Advanced Course

1. Slow down. Concentrate more on feeling the muscle you are working, contracting and slowly releasing it, than on getting so many reps done. Don't rush through the movement.

2. When doing crunch movements, let your upper back come off the floor, but never pull on your neck. Concentrate on using your abdominals to do the work.

3. Do your cardio. This is key to burning the fat so those muscles will show.

4. Add weight, not repetitions, to your ab movements. Until I started using weights, I could not get the results I was looking for.

5. Use a medicine ball. Start out with a light weight and work up to your desired goal. Concentrate on using the ball correctly and maintaining excellent form to avoid injury.

6. Invest in a vertical leg raise apparatus, or use one at the gym. You can really hit the abs with this.

7. Do your ab work daily. Ab muscles do not need a day of rest. You can work them seven days a week.

8. Hold your abs in throughout the day. Train your abdominal muscles constantly.

9. Eat a diet low in fat to avoid excess bodyfat. Fat will obscure your abs no matter how hard you train them.

10. Don't eat 4 hours before bed. Those calories tend to be stored as bodyfat.
