Weight Loss Tips

Create Balance Between Resistance and Cardio
The very first thing you should always aim to do is find a good balance between resistance and cardio training. Relying too much on cardio training will quickly come at the expense of strength gains and could eventually lead to overtraining as well. Likewise, if you are only doing resistance you may not burn enough calories throughout the week, so adding some missing cardio would be a wise move. A good balance will give you the best of both worlds and allow you to see top results.

Begin The Day With Fibre
Second, always be sure that you start your day off with some fibre. This will help keep you feeling full throughout the morning and slow the release of carbohydrates into the blood stream.

Add Vegetables To All Main Dishes
Looking for a quick way to add more food to your diet without boosting the calories? Start eating more vegetables. These are virtually calorie free and will add plenty of bulk to your dish so you feel satisfied on fewer calories.

Focus On Shortening Your Rest Periods
One simple strategy to increase the calorie burn of your workouts is to make sure that you’re keeping those rest periods shortened. If you’re taking longer than one minute between your sets, chances are you’re dragging the workout on longer than it has to be. Aim to keep everything short and snappy.

Make Sleep A Priority
Think you can sleep when you’re older? Think again. If you want to maintain a slim waistline, sleep needs to be a priority. If you’re not getting enough sleep at night your body is going to release more of a certain hormone called cortisol, which actually encourages stomach fat accumulation. Aim for at least seven hours a night, if not eight.

Eat Regular (below example)

Breakfast	Mid-Morning Snack	Lunch	Mid-afternoon Snack	Dinner	Supper
Porridge	5-10 Almond nuts and a Pear	Tuna salad Olive oil	2 Oat cakes With cream cheese and a apple	Chicken/Veg Small rice	Glass Milk Semi-skimmed

Swap Coffee For Green Tea
Try green tea rather than coffee, both provide a source of caffeine to your diet but green tea is also going to help increase the metabolism and improve your fat loss results.

Check Your Goals Daily
Another smart move to keep yourself motivated is to make sure that you review your goals daily. By reading them every morning when you wake up you’ll ensure that your mind stays fixated on what you’re looking to accomplish.

Boost Your Protein
Finally, the last weight loss tip that you must put in place is to boost your protein intake. Since protein causes the body to burn off the most calories just digesting it, by including it in your diet you can automatically see a nice metabolic increase.
