Getting Lean

By Dollie Kemp


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. Consistency is the most important strategy you should be striving for when trying to lose weight, as without consistency, you are more likely to gain weight instead of losing it!

Your Diet Plan

Drinking at least one glass of water before every meal is an important strategy. This is going to curve your appetite and make you feel full, thus making you eat less. Consequently you only need smaller portioned meals with only healthy, and low fat and calorie foods. 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 will supply the essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function correctly. Also, the fiber in them will make you feel fuller for longer. When your body is healthy, your metabolism works efficiently!

Fitness Plan to become Slim

Perform plenty of strength building workouts such as weights. 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 will be your sure way of making a slim, hour glass figure in no time at all! The increase in muscle mass you gain from these exercises will also burn more fat throughout the day. 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. This type of exercise will immediately burn off a large amount of 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. If you commit to doing this 5 times per week then weight loss is almost guaranteed!

Hydrate yourself because a lot of nutrients and water is going to leave your body. Sports drinks are ok to consume straight after a workout to replace lost electrolytes, but not for the rest of the day.

Patience is required early on to start seeing results on your body and the scale. Make sure you stick to your plan. Success is not far off!
