Lauren Conrad: Get Fit Plan

The Rules

• Like my other plans, this is a lifestyle change so don’t think of it as a diet. The goal here is to feel good and look great.
• Stay focused and remind yourself daily of why you want to get fit and healthy! Flex that willpower.
• Drink lots of water. Aim to drink an ounce for every pound you weigh.
• As soon as you wake up, have some lemon water. Try to do this at least 3 times a week. (If you do it every single day, it can make your teeth a bit sensitive.)
• Pick one exercise from the “Exercise Options” list to do every day (save one day for rest). 
• Do all of the exercises listed under “Everyday Exercises” list each day in addition to your selected workout.
• Pick one meal from each category for each day, in addition to one snack.
• To get your metabolism revving, give these tricks a try. Personally, I swear by green tea.
• My trainer, Jarett Del Bene, suggests this as well: “To help build lean muscle, incorporate protein after your workouts, such as Muscle Milk Light.” 
• 
  

The Off-Limits List

• No candy, baked goods, or ice cram. Ideally, no sugar!
• No soda or flavored drinks. Remember—water!
• No white bread.
• No fried foods. None!
• No eating 2-3 hours before bed. (Your body needs time to digest!)
