3. Proteins should be 25 - 30% of your diet. A lot of stress is put on meat as the primary part of your meal. Protein needs more calories to digest which is called the thermogenic effect.

4. Try to go as vegetarian as you can. This really is a healthier lifestyle, even if you can't cut meat out completely. The more fruits and veggies you can eat the better.
