Successful Weight Loss

Here's how to get Trim

By Treasa Ton


Exercise and diet are the two factors that need to be considered together to ensure you get more trim. Slimming down would be almost impossible to do in a healthy way unless you have these two vital ingredients. What you want is consistency when it comes to losing fat, and you need to always maintain it because weight gain with be almost doubled if you fall down the path of unhealthy eating again!

Your Food Plan

You need to drink water before every meal, which is at least a glass. This is going to curve your appetite and make you feel full, thus making you eat less. Therefor you can have smaller portion sizes containing only healthy, low fat ingredients. For meats, try to reduce red meats, and cut the fats off them. You can eat turkey, chicken and fish more often if that helps.

Be sure to add in plenty of green vegetables and fruits. These are going to give you plenty of vitamins and minerals that are necessary to make your body run healthy. They are also full of fiber which will fill you up quickly. A healthy running body means an increase in metabolism!

Workout Plan to become Lean

Weight training is a vital part of your exercise plan. You only need to weight train for 15 minutes a day, on most days to get the benefits and help lose fat. Add in toning exercises such as crunches and sit-ups, plus some high intensity dumbbell workouts. This is the best method of really trimming down and getting the figure you want quickly. Another benefit of this type of strength training is that your muscles will grow, and will use extra calories whilst they are growing. It's like exercising when you aren't exercising!

Cardio Exercises

Cardio exercises such as running, jump rope or swimming are also important to add to the plan. They are your guarantee to sweating off all those extra calories. An example of a workout routine could be to do 15 mins of cardio, 15 mins of weight training, then add in some bodyweight exercises including situps and crunches. Do these 4-5 days and you will surely lose weight fast!

Make sure you keep yourself hydrated during these sessions to counter the loss through sweat. Sports drinks are ok to consume straight after a workout to replace lost electrolytes, but not for the rest of the day.

Remember that it takes time and patience to start seeing results. Just stick to your diet and exercise plans. Success is not far off!
