Reaching your target body weight and shape is something that requires you to stay on track with your eating and exercise plans. You might not have a clear idea in your mind what your exercise and eating plans should entail so allow me to help you develop an outline to get you started.
Firstly lets look at your dietary intake – after all this is the most common factor that leads us to obesity and lack of self confidence. Most of us eat food that has too much saturated fat and too much sugar. The first thing I want you to do is to cut out these foods except for once a week you may have a treat just one though don’t blow all your effort by over indulgence. If you have a sweet tooth there are still a few things you can have, like homemade popcorn or strawberries/ blueberries, so you don’t have to feel deprived and go back to your old eating habits.
Stick to a diet that is composed of;
- Lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes and nuts
- Fresh fruit and vegetables
- Wholegrain cereals like oats and whole meal bread
- Dairy foods with no added sugars
- Lots of water every day (minimum of eight good size glasses)
Don’t go crazy on the carbohydrates, I would not cut them out completely, I would aim for two small serves a day. Make sure your protein intake is high as this will help prevent hunger and facilitate fat loss. If you are trying to shed some pounds, find the best protein powder for losing weight, use it to replace morning and afternoon tea and you will notice the difference.
Secondly you need to incorporate an interval training program into your routine at least 3 -4 times a week and walk for a minimum of 20 minutes on the in between days. Leasing gym equipment so it is at your finger tips will maximize the success rate for your weight loss by making it more convenient. Stick to these rules and you will reach your natural body weight and be looking better than ever.
