Welcome to my Blog.
Over the next 52 weeks I am going to bring you 1 Fat-Loss Tip per week!
So just think, one year from now you will have 52 of the best Fat-Loss Tips to get you started on your way to feeling slimmer, fitter and healthier.
All the tips are easy to implement. Some you may have heard of in the past and some may be new to you, but try them anyway......what's the worse that can happen!!
Tip #1
EAT FAT TO LOSE FAT
Believe it or not, fat is essential to the human body. But it has to be the right fat!
Saturated Fat is not good fat....the fat found in sausages, burgers, cakes, crisps, biscuits etc is saturated (hard at room temperature) and the body can well do without this type of fat.
Unsaturated Fat on the other hand is essential. Essential because the body cannot make it so we have to eat it. The type of fat found in avocados, nuts, seeds (and their oils) olive/sunflower oils and oily fish are are high in good fat. Omega 3 & 6 are good fats.
Next time you pick up a food with a high fat content on the label, check where the fat comes from. If it's saturated, put it back on the shelf. If it comes from Poly or Mono-unsaturated fat, buy it!!
Tip#2
EAT PROTEIN WITH EVERY MEAL
Adding protein to every meal will keep you feeling fuller for longer as it takes longer for the stomach to break down protein than it does carbohydrates, and chances are you'll consume less calories with each meal!
So, add chicken, lean beef, oily fish, nuts or eggs to meals for a great tasting, satisfying breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Why not snack on a handful of nuts and/or seeds instead of high calorie alternatives as these also contain essential fats (see tip #1) as well as proteins.
Tip#3
PLAN & WRITE DOWN YOUR FOOD
By doing this you are more likely to make better food choices during the day as opposed to leaving it to chance and hoping it goes well on the day.....it seldom does!
Having a food diary is a great way to keep track of EVERYTHING you are eating and drinking and you're more likely to notice trends or bad habits and be able to change those habits for better ones!
