A lot of clients often ask me why they don’t see any weight loss result. These clients generally do some things correctly but sadly enough, they often focus on the wrong actions and prevent long term weight release. First we have to change the way we look at “weight loss”. As humans what are we conditioned to do when we lose something? Let’s suppose you lose your keys, or you lose your car in a crowed parking lot, what will you do next? My guess is you will find it somehow. If you condition your mind around the topic of losing weight, I promise you will find it at a later point in time. Let’s use the word release. When you release something you do not expect it to come back. Understanding how expectation impacts our lives is very important! Now on to 7 specific tips to “release weight” as quick as possible:
1) Limiting your calories: Most people think that if they eat healthy and low fat food, they don’t need to limit their calories. I have bad news for you. To release weight you need to burn more calories than you take in.
2) Muscle building: Muscle building is in my opinion very beneficial in losing weight. Why? Because muscle building is a very intense type of exercise that will help raise your metabolism. By raising your metabolism you will be burning more fat and at the same time toning your muscles.
3)Reduce the amount of starchy food: Starchy food like white rice, white bread, pasta and bake goods are not good for weight loss & fat loss. These food have lots of empty calories and when eaten to often will promote weight gain. They lack vital vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy body.
4) Exercise first thing in the morning: A lot of research have been done on exercising on a empty stomach. It as been found that you can tap in your fat reserves faster. The best time to do it is first thing in the morning. Why… because you have been fasting for 8 -10 hours.
5) Drink lots of water: Water as no calories and keep you full for 30 to 60 minutes. Instead of drinking cola or fruit juice, drink some water and you will see that you will release weight faster.
6) Train with a group of people: Training with a group can get you very result. You will be able to help and motivate each others in attaining your mutual goal. I recommend you join an exercise group of your choice like yoga, spinning or aqua fitness.
7) Have a specific goal: It will be easier to release weight if you have a specific goal. I recommend you write down on a piece of paper what kind of physique you would like, be very specific. Write the actual numbers you want. Like “26 inches waist within 12 months”. Read this piece of paper every day and you will start to focus more on your goal.
Let me know what you think of these ideas.
