Weight loss is very different for every one of us. I’ve not been blessed with the perfect genetics to stay lean all year round. The challenges I have been with my habits — and when stress rears its ugly head-can to become a little challenging for me. We all have some Achilles heel for putting on weight. Although it’s not always perfect for me, I most certainly can bring some of my own experience into this. Check out the following sweet spots for fat loss.
The best five weight loss tips you need to try.
Intermittent fasting. This is one of the best dieting practices I’ve ever come across. It’s so easy to fast every single day and not have to worry too much about scrutinising my food. When I was competing, everything had to be weighed and measured. It’s not the way to live my life — and it becomes so monotonous and quite dull. I want to live a life where I can eat a piece of bread or a slice of vegan cake if I want to. Fasting allows a lot of flexibility with your dieting, and there never seems to be any damage to your weight loss results.
Please don’t get me wrong about this one, though — you still have to be mindful of your nutrition. I still watch what I eat and make sure it’s in proportion to my daily activity.
Fasting takes the edge off and allows for a much more flexible lifestyle. I highly recommend you try it out -and do see your doctor if any health problems are apparent.
Weight training. I weight train out of love more than weight loss. In my mind, having muscle mass (even as a female) is far more appealing to me than looking skinny and bony. I like that muscle makes you feel stronger, brings shape and suppleness to your body. Having muscle does help you burn more calories, but it honestly doesn’t help burn that much. I’m not an overly muscular type — I have tone and shape. This may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I like the results. The wonderful thing is you don’t have to be overly muscular to enjoy the benefits of fat burn and having an athletic physique. Do try to add in some weight training every week for strength and also tone.
Walking. Although I talk and encourage HIIT for those who have a lot of weight to lose, I also recommend low impact exercise, such as walking…
