HERE'S A LITTLE BIOLOGY LESSON: As early humans evolved, starvation and deprivation were persistent threats to survival. So they learned to store fat in flush times and burn fewer calories when food was hard to come by—just like bears preparing for hibernation. If you go hungry all day and then eat a heavy evening meal, you're doing the same thing. Instead, try eating several small meals, consuming 30 percent to 35 percent of your daily calories in the morning. You'll feel full all day and give your body a chance to burn off what you took in—rather than sleeping on it like a bear. That's why avoiding this starvation response is a core principle of The Men's Health Diet. On this plan, you'll lose 15 pounds in 6 weeks—without ever getting hungry, bored, or frustrated. Here are a few of the The Men's Health Diet guidelines that'll help you turn fat into muscle without ever feeling deprived. FIRST BREAKFAST The foods Dairy, eggs, whole grains, and fiber. If you usually skip breakfast, start with a glass of milk or a slice of cheese with whole-wheat toast. Or, if you wake up ready for a meal, have walnut-flaxseed oatmeal with some yogurt and blueberries.
