You know that diet and exercise are important when it comes to creating your best body, but you may be overlooking other techniques for getting into the best shape.

Most people load up on carbohydrates and simple sugars for breakfast. Cereal, pastries, and juice are all poor choices when it comes to starting off your day right. Instead, center your breakfast around protein and healthy fat, and you’ll have more energy for hours. Try a protein shake, eggs, lean breakfast meat, or a handful of nuts.
2.) Get More Sleep
