## Create Suitable Targets

Set some short term and long term goals, write them down and then work towards achieving them. If they’re realistic and you’re willing to work hard then you will reach them. The short term goals give you an everyday sense of accomplishment before you actually see your results, which are connected to your long term goals.

An example of a short term goal is, “I want to do xyz workout 5 times per week.” An example of a long term goal is, “I want to drop 25 pounds, have six pack abs and feel great!”

## 5 Important Foods

These recommended nutrition will not only help you achieve your goals but will dramatically improve your general health and liveliness.

1. Leafy Greens — Big fresh, dark, leafy green things that are in your local grocer’s produce department have a very important overall nutritional impact for you. Some examples would be spinach, kale, arugula and chard. Light green crispy iceberg lettuce does not fall into this category.

2. Complex Carbohydrates — Think of this… replace white rice with brown rice. Replace white bread with whole grain bread. Get the idea?

3. Fruit — Look for mouth watering fruits each time you crave for sweet snacks. Your body will be grateful to you.

4. Healthy Fats — Instead of the usual cooking oil, try using extra virgin oil. Take note that fish and avocado are also two high quality sources of oil.

5. Quality Proteins — Make a habit of upgrading to higher quality organically fed beef and other meats. This will be one more way to prevent a buildup of those nasty animal antibiotics in your system.
