IN OUT
This is the most important factor when it comes to weight loss, you must be consuming less calories than you are burning, other wise like above
the equation you will be out of balance.
We can do this by using the following.
Consuming less overall calories across the week.
Exercise
Increasing weekly activity
If we get this wrong then weight loss will NOT occur. Now some of you might not like this, the reason your body is not where you want it is you
simply carry to much body fat. In order to address this we must first place our selves in a calorie deficit (calories in vs calories out).
The net result of being consistently in a calorie deficit will result in weight loss. Notice CONSISTENTLY, this is where most people go wrong, its all
very well being in a calie deficit for 4-5 days, ,but if you go off the rails and binge over the weekend you will have undone your hard work
previously.

The above diagram shows how most people tackle their diets and where most people go wrong is impatience and lack of knowledge, simply cutting
calories to quickly from their weekly total, this often leads to over eating on a weekend. Your number one PRIORITY.
When dieting you should be looking at retaining as much muscle mass as possible. Simply cutting calories drastically will result in losing water
weight, muscle mass and body fat. The end result will be that you feel lethargic and weak. We want to be changing the shape of your body, keeping
you healthy, drastic calorie drops will nota achieve this.
The main problem i see is everyone is too impatient, they want 2-3kg weight drops per week, not realising that a 1-2 pound weight drop will be more
sustainable over the long run. Dropping your calories by too much will only lead to a down regulation of your metabolism and thyroid, this is the
exact opposite of what you want to happen. This will make it harder to achieve your body weight goals.

# 1
REMOVE ALL PROCESSED FOODS
(CAKES, BISCUITS, CRISPS,
SWEETS, READY MEALS, CHEAP
SLICED MEATS ETC).
# 2
PROTEIN WITH EVERY MEAL
(CHICKEN, TURKEY, WHITE FISH),
OR FATTY MEAT/FISH (SALMON,
MACKEREL, BEEF).
# 3
INCREASE YOUR VEGETABLES
(DON’T WORRY ABOUT
COUNTING THEM).
Doing this one simple step will cause
you to drop at least 1-2 pounds in body
weight. You see, these food groups offer
zero nutritional value to
your body. They don’t help any of your
systems function. A lot of processed
foods will cause you to be- come
inflamed, which is when you end
up retaining water.
Start with a portion of protein that is
the size of your palm at each meal.
Eating protein also helps you to keep
full between meals, it also helps you to
keep your muscle or build it. Muscle is
metabolic, which
means it re- quires a good amount of
energy to function. This energy
requirement is a key part of the fat loss
process
Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals
found in vegetables and fruits can lead
to many symptoms such as acne, dry
skin, dry mouth, puffy skin,
tingling hands/ feet, brittle/thin nails
and many more. Bottom line, the
healthier your body is the easy you’ll
find it to lose body fat. You’ll also have
way more energy through the process.
6. # 4 INTRODUCE FATS TO EVERY
MEALL (IF YOU’RE NOT HAVING A
FATTY MEAT OR FISH SOURCE).
# 5
CARBS ARE NOT THE ENEMY
# 6
REMOVE FOODS THAT CAUSE
YOU DISCOMFORT
Fats provide us with an energy source, they also
help manufacture and balance our hormones.
Fats are critical for the transmission of nerve
signals that create muscle contractions (you
need muscles to lose body fat properly and
shape
your body), and it also transports the fat-soluble
vitamins A, D, E, and K (supports bone growth,
immune system health and protects red blood
cells). The big bonus fats are omega 3 (ALA,
DHA, EPA). These can be found in oily fish, and
they help keep your cells more fluid. If the cell
membranes are more fluid, it increases insulin
sensitivity and ultimately fat loss.
In many cases i allow my clients to eat
carbs, they are not to be scared of.
Remember that low activity levels and
over eating cause fat gain.
In the early days, our advice is limit
yourself to one meal per day of carbs.
You can choose to have a carb based
meal after your workout, or for
your last meal. Some people find eating
carbs in their last meal helps them to
sleep better. Use 40 grams of uncooked
brown rice or 150 grams
of uncooked sweet potato. This is the best
place to start, and knowing how much you
are eating is key to learning self-control.
Do you have gas or be- come irritated
when you consume certain foods?. The
usual culprits are dairy, eggs, nuts, and in
some cases gluten. Cut
them out for 14 days and see how you
feel without them. In many cases people
sleep better, they have better digestion,
and they have way
more energy.
