Tip #1 - Change Your Way Of Thinking
Losing weight is all about a lifestyle change. Things like the cabbage soup diet are only good from losing water. Sure you may lose half a stone of water weight - but we want to lose fat only! When something seems unbelieveable it probably is, successfully losing weight and keeping it off is all about following a diet of wholesome clean food. If you want to keep trim all year round them Im afraid the eating habits must last all year too, there is simply no other way.
Tip #2 - Fat Is Good For You
Yes you heard me right! I love fat, and so should you. It's a misconception pushed by the media that all fats are bad as they are quite the opposite! Infact nothing will speed up your fat lose progress more than consuming enough fat in your diet. The thing is, not all fats are good - the ones we want are known as Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), there are so many benefits to these its unbelievable! EFAs are found in oily fish, nuts, seeds and avocados among others.
Tip #3 - Get Active
Following a calorie restricted diet will allow you to lose weight but progress will be twice as fast if you exercise as well! Exercise needn't mean going to the gym 3 times a week. The gym is great but if you don't fancy it then just try to stay active. Instead of driving to work, walk. Instead of taking the elevator - take the stairs. Instead of parking right at the entrance to the store park at the other end and walk! All these things add up to burning lots and lots of calories and will burn the fat right off.
