Here's the nuts and bolts that don't appear in the online version:

TOP BUFF DAD TIPS:
• You don't need to work out for two hours a day.
• Work out first thing in the morning. Exercising before breakfast will stimulate your metabolism for the whole day.
• Breakfast is a must. Again, it's that metabolism jumpstart.
• Try to eat the same thing every day.
• Eat six times a day, or every three hours.
• Control portions.
• Stop eating two hours before bed.

Snack: fruit or yogurt or a handful of nuts
Lunch: A sandwich
Snack: Fruit and peanut butter or a protein shake
