But before you come in for your initial consultation, I want to share three strategies to get rid of some excess fat without having to weigh and measure every morsel of food you consume.
Three simple ways to lose weight in Orelia
Reducing body fat and changing the way you look is a simple mathematical equation.
When I say simple, please don’t confuse this with easy.
It is a matter of energy balance.
This is how it works: A + B = C
Calories in vs calories out = energy balance.
Calories are a unit of energy. They determine your weight and the amount of fat you gain or lose.
If calories IN exceed calories OUT. This equates to a positive energy balance = weight-gain
If calories OUT exceed calories IN. This equates to a negative energy balance = weight-loss.
There is a third scenario, which is a neutral energy balance. This is where calories in and out are equal.
This leads to maintenance — no change in weight up/down.
Some people make losing weight a lot harder than it needs to be. When it can be quite straightforward.
If you stick to a few staple principles and adhere to an easy-to-follow framework, it’s a simple process, as discussed here.
Here are some no-nonsense strategies for you to put in place and start shifting the weight, in Orelia.
1. No snacking
Snacks are often the reason people gain weight and have no idea why. Sometimes it’s the snacks themselves.
If you eat your main meals and believe they are healthy...
...and still can’t figure out why you’re struggling to lose weight.
Or are carrying some excess padding and retaining your winter coat, it could be your snacks.
A lot of food which is in the “health food aisle” is jam-packed with calories.
THINK: Nuts, spreads, “energy balls”, protein bars and low-sugar chocolate just to name a few.
Then you get items packaged and labelled with phrases such as;
“High-protein”
“No/Low sugar”
If the packet says high-protein, it doesn’t mean that it is. Don't take it as gospel.
It's a marketing ploy trying to drawn you in and make you think it's "healthy".
I review labels quite often and what I find is that the item is predominantly a carbohydrate or fat source, rather than a protein.
At the end of the day, every calories adds up to your daily total.
So be sure you’re not snacking and devouring calories you could be better off without.
“Little bit of this. A little bit of that.” It all adds up!
2. Reduce/Cut out alcohol
Alcohol presents an obstacle for a lot of people wanting to lose weight.
For most, it is a vice and a pleasure they are unwilling to sacrifice. At the expense of their waistline and body fat percentage.
The extra calories from alcohol — in conjunction with the food accompanying it — are contributing factors for being overweight.
My recommendation is to set some boundaries for when you drink and how much.
This needs to address the quantity (precisely, how much) and frequency (precisely, how often) you will drink.
Any reduction in calories will result in a reduction in total calorie intake. And remember, you need a NEGATIVE energy balance to lose fat.
This is why you should start with liquid and any completely unnecessary calories.
This means addressing your alcohol consumption head-on.
Reduce or eliminate the booze from your life and watch the weight fall off.
Remember: It’s always someones birthday or a special occasion. Set boundaries and stick to them!
3. Be consistent
Most people don’t understand what consistency means, or what it entails.
The majority of people think that doing well from Monday to Friday is a big deal and something extraordinary.
It’s not!
In fact, that's the bare minimum. That’s what’s expected of you.
Anything less than this isn’t going to achieve the results you want with your physique.
In fact, it’s why most people end up on the proverbial 'hamster wheel'.
Always struggling to lose weight but never actually making a dent, or being able to keep it off consistently.
Tally and record your level of consistency to track your progress.
Monday to Friday won’t cut it.
Especially when you consider the little snacks here and there.
The biscuit or muffin with your coffee.
And Karen’s birthday lunch.
Then there's the guys/girls night out.
Celebration at work because it’s “hump day” (….really!?)
And a few bevvies after work because you had a “rough day”.
Suddenly, you haven’t even met the minimum standard, have you?
When talking about consistency, you need to be aiming for an 80% or higher success rate.
If you’re below this level, you won’t lose the belly and you’ll struggle to get rid of the bingo wings.
The level of consistency you need to be aiming for can be found in detail, here.
There you have it!
