5 Tips For Fat Loss

5 tips for fat loss

The lesson here is that there’s no magic formula, detox juice, or crazy new fad diet that’s going to get you consistent results. The tips I share with you here are not new and they are definitely not a secret. They are just not sexy, they take some discipline and it takes time and that’s why most people don’t like it and choose to go with the ‘detox matcha tea star aligning juice’ instead.

1.     Eat more protein.

Simply put, protein makes you feel more full, which then helps you eat less. A way I do this with my clients is by taking a protein shake after their workouts.

 

2.     Strength train 4x/week.

You can get away with 3x/week but make sure you at least move! Even if you start slow, make sure you make it to your training session. Not all sessions have to be 100% perfect, some are going to be 75% and that's ok.

 

3.     Progressive overload.

It simply means adding a little extra challenge every week. Adding, 5 more pounds, 1 more set, less rest. There are multiple ways to do this, but basically, you want to challenge yourself a bit more than the last workout. (There's a lot more to this, and it's a very important part of training. Let's chat if you want to know more :))

 

4.     Consume fewer calories.

You have to eat fewer (calories) than what you are eating right now if your goal is to decrease weight and body fat. This doesn't mean starving yourself. You have to eat quality foods, lean protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats. Just make sure you control your portions.

 

5.     Get proper sleep.

Sleep is where the magic happens. When you rest is when your body heals and your muscles repair. Quality sleep every night is going to be an important role in hitting your goal.

 

Yes there are more things you can do to help with fat loss, but this is a great starting point!
