There's no magic formula to losing weight, but it's possible to lose it and keep it off. You don’t need ground-breaking or impossible to implement tricks. Simple training, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies are what will help you hit your goal. With a little a planning and the right mindset, long-term, sustainable weight loss is within your reach.
EAT LEAN PROTEIN AT EVERY MEAL
Eating protein is like throwing lighter fluid onto a fire. It helps fire up your body's fat-burning furnace and helps you regulate your weight. Fish, turkey, chicken and lean red meat are healthy choices but be selective by choosing the leanest cuts of meat.
THINK ABOUT YOUR PORTION SIZES
It’s very important to build your nutrition program of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats, but to also to build your nutrition with the proper portions. Now everyone’s portions will vary depending on their body size, activity level, and overall goals.
GET ADEQUATE SLEEP
While we know that healthy sleep habits can improve your mood, energy, and productivity, there’s another reason to get more shut-eye: Sleep may play a role in weight management. You may feel hungry and unsatisfied when you’re sleepy. Sleep deprivation also reduces basal metabolic rate, which means that your body actually needs fewer calories. So, at this point, you’re storing more calories as fat.
STRENGTH TRAINING
The biggest determinant of calorie burning is your metabolism. And the biggest factor in that is your lean muscle mass. Build more lean muscle, increase your metabolism. So, weight training has to be a part of any effective fat loss program. Click here to learn more about our Weight Loss training program.
FOOD JOURNAL
Keeping a food journal can help you lose more weight. People who kept food journals lost nearly six pounds more than those who didn’t track what they ate.
MINIMIZE DISTRACTIONS WHEN EATING
Eating at your table without a book, TV, or a smartphone within your reach can help you eat fewer calories. Distraction during a meal can increase food intake by 10 percent. It also increased the amount of food a person ate at other meals during the day by more than 25 percent.
