5 Simple Steps To Fat Loss


Lets not overcomplicate this….

1. Reduce the amount you eat – whilst I don’t advocate counting calories we are all a little bit greedy, right? Start by reducing the amount you eat gradually by putting less on your plate.

2. Support your muscles by eating more lean protein – choose good quality sources of lean meat, chicken and fish. This will speed up your metabolism, help you feel full and provide you with amino acids.

3. Gradually reduce starchy and sugary carbohydrates – these foods are typically energy dense and nutrient poor meaning they are high in calories and low in vitamins and minerals. Sugars and starches can play havoc with your hormones too.

4. Be healthy – eat more vegetables – try replacing some of the sugars and starches with vegetables. This will give you an abundance of fibre, vitamins and minerals.

5. Support your metabolism – replace bad fats with good ones – include more extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, nuts, seeds and fish oil.

So, there you have it – five simple steps to fat loss. Eat a little less, eat a little more protein, swap the sugars and starches for veggies and replace bad fats with good ones.
