With all the crazy information floating around the internet about weight loss and diets, I thought I would share some simple, realistic tips for you to try.
1. Determine a realistic weight loss goal with the help of a coach. . 2. Try not to lose more than 0.5kg's per week and try not to restrict energy intake by more than 500-750 calories per day. . 3. Eat more fruit and veg. Doh! . 4. Choose lower calorie snacks. I think snacks are a sneaky way to add up calories and I try not to get my clients to snack at all. . 5. Limit fat add-one like heavy creamy sauces, high fat salad dressing etc. . 6. Try to eat 3-4 substantial meals per day with nothing in between. . 7. Increase your protein intake (meat, fish, eggs, beans, legumes) and reduce your fats a little. . 8. Increase the volume of your aerobic training to promote fat burning. It's okay not to be gasping. Enough to sweat and make it fun and burn energy. . 9. Measure body weight daily or at least 2-6 times per week to get an average loss over time. . 10. Consume carbs in and around training so that they can be used to recover and replenish lost energy and improve performance and thus the ability to train consistently and at a high level. . 11. Take photos, body fat and use other markers of improvement. This is key when the scales are not being your friend some days. . 12. Enjoy the process. The journey is often better than the goal itself. It's about who you become and how you change to being healthy and fit and strong. . These are just some tips. You won't agree with them all but that's okay. Take what works and discard the rest
