These exercises have great effects on producing well-toned muscles without the over-done fake bulk, they also improve your fitness and strength

October Healthy tips directly from Amr Diab:
Amr Diab does not eat red meat or chicken, so food on his list include (Fish, lots of vegetables, lots of fruits, Occasionally cheese, and only complex carbohydrates)
Complex carbohydrates is basically everything brown (Brown rice, Brown bread, Brown pasta)
This month, Amr will share one of his favorite post-workout meal: "Grilled fish with roasted sweet potatoes (Batata) and vegetables"
Fish provides the protein which is important after the workout to build the muscles, the sweet potato is a complex carbohydrate that replenish the glycogen stores in muscles, not to mention, this combination with the rest of the vegetables is an excellent source of fibers and vitamins
To make this dish delicious, top this with fresh herbs such as, time (zaatar) , parsley, garlic, ...etc
