Training Tips: Mike Chang Can Get You Ripped

Three Keys to Dieting Success

1) Plan for Everything

“Almost everyone can agree that you need to eat about five times a day,” Chang says. “But over the course of a month, that’s 150 decisions you need to make. If you don’t plan it all in advance, you’re bound to fail. You have to take the day-to-day guesswork out of it.”

2) Remember: Chewing is Hard Work

“This sounds like a weird one, but if you’re eating chicken or steak at every meal, that’s a lot of chewing, and that becomes time consuming,” Chang says. “If you eat more fish like tilapia that just falls apart, that makes it a lot easier. I don’t always have time to sit down and savor a meal. Most of the time I need to eat quickly and get back to work.

3) Put “Bad” Sauce on “Good” Food

“I’d rather see someone put a little bit of unhealthy sauce on healthy food than see them do it the other way around,”

Chang says. “If you can’t make healthy food taste good, nobody’s going to eat it.” For example, blue cheese or Caesar dressing on grilled chicken breast is still a better choice than fried chicken with no dressing.
