My Tips for “Getting Abs” - 
Eat CLEAN (NO JUNK FOOD, choose wholesome,natural sources.. see my grocery list and meal plan for an example of this!)
Do cardio (HIIT is great for fat loss)
Lift weights (revs metabolism, and increases calorie burn over an extended period of time) 
Drink water (your body needs water to perform basic functions like mobilize fat stores and build muscle)
Get enough sleep (if you don’t sleep enough, cortisol levels are raised, which promotes fat storage around the abdomen)
Avoid stress (same cortisol problem)
Eat healthy fats (fats like avocado, olive oil, natural peanut butter and almonds help you LOSE fat)
Eat lean proteins (it helps keep you satiated longer and has the highest thermogenic effect of any other macronutrient)

Things people don’t tell you about getting healthier:

healthiie:

  • You’re going to have to pee every 20 min.
  • You’re going to kick your own ass through workouts you kinda (really actually) hate until its sore for days and somehow you’re going to love and adore it?
  • You’re going to have this unexplainable, insatiable urge to post pictures of everything you eat on the internet.

I just arrived from the grocery store … delicious veggies :)

This is what real food looks like.
