- Limit/cut out alcohol
- When you drink, the process of fat burning stops. This is because alcohol is the priority energy source, which means that calories consumed during a drinking session will be stored as fat.
- Increase activity level
- Increase incidental exercise, weights training and high intensity. Taking the stairs instead of the lift, walking over the weekend and avoid being sedentary for long periods of time.
- Reduce stress
- Learn to unwind in any way you can. Examples are meditation, low intensity exercise, reducing caffeine intake.
- Improve sleep
- Minimum 7 hours of sleep are required.
- Increase water intake
- Minimum of 2-3L for women and 3-4L for men per day.
- Limit sugar consumption
- Eliminate soft drinks and limit low value foods (jelly beans, gummies).
- Better balance of vegetables
- Prioritise fibrous green vegetables (broccoli, asparagus, zucchini)
- Eat more fish
- Fish contain your Essential Fatty Acids. If you don't like fish, supplement fish oil tablets.
- No fruit juice, cereal or milk
- Fruit juice is purely sugar without the fibre that you get from consuming the fruit. You would eat one orange in a sitting, but a standard serving of juice contains five oranges.
- Cereal is generally a high carb, low protein meal.
- Milk/dairy is over consumed and high in caloric value. One standard latte carries 150 calories.
