The easiest and quickest way to lose weight for good!

5 Tips To Losing Weight & Keeping It Off.

I guess you are reading this because you have tried to lose weight many times. You will have started the latest diet on a Monday and by the following Monday you have stopped due to 1 or more of the following reasons:

• You couldn't be bothered to plan your meals one day and ate anything in sight

• Had a takeaway or fast food

• Went away for a night/holiday/with work etc

• Had a night out and also ate "rubbish" the following day with a hangover

• Missed the gym and had a glass of wine instead

In all of the above cases on the following day you hated yourself, thought what's the point I have wrecked the diet and used it as an excuse to start eating and drinking rubbish again as it's easier.

The above is all in your head. A lot of the times you won't have gone over your weekly calories, you just think you have. Therefore the next day just get back on it and carry on. Very rarely does anyone have a perfect month.

Here are 5 tips to help you keep on track;

Tip #1 - Work Out Your Daily Calories For Losing Weight

Using a calorie calculator or ask a fitness coach to work out your daily calories. This is based on your age, height, weight and amount of workouts you do a week.

Once you have this number you can then workout your calories for your meals and starting losing weight quickly. If you really can't do this yourself then have a look here and I can do it for you - online coaching packages

Tip #2 - Do Not Cut Out Your Favourite Foods For Fat Loss

Make sure your meals are what you like to eat but either cut down your portions or even better count your calories.

e.g. Spaghetti Bolognese for family of 4 = 2800 calories

If you have a 1/4 then track 700 calories for yourself

Eating chicken and broccoli or smashed avocado everyday you are setting yourself up for failure very quickly.

Tip #3 - Plan Your Week Around Your Busy Life

It really doesn't take along time and most peoples weeks are similar. Every Sunday sit down, plan your workouts, walks, bike rides etc around family and work. Then workout your meals for the week, write a shopping list and get all your products in for the week.

Each evening plan the following days lunches and evening meals. Honestly, planning is possibly the biggest thing you can do to succeed. It stops you eating junk food and giving up.

Tip #4 - If You Have A High Calorie Day, Don't Worry!

So you go out for a meal or a few drinks it's not a big deal. If you can save some calories from that day then great, if not don't panic. If you don't save any calories just enjoy the night out and start again the following day. If you did track your night out (which I would never suggest you do) you might only be a 1000 calories over for the day. NO BIG DEAL. The big deal is giving up.

Tip #5 - Give It 12 Weeks

You might think oh really 3 months is a long time and you might only be half way to your body goal. Is it though? It's definitely not a long time compared to being unhappy for the next 30-40 years though is it?

Don't give up too quickly. Once you have done 12 weeks most of what you are doing will become a habit and you should have lost 10-15% of you bodyweight in the process.

Finally...

Do what you enjoy regarding fitness and food. You will absolutely stick with it a lot longer if you can enjoy it;

If you don't like running DON'T run

If you hate avocado then DON'T have it on your plan

If you want to have a night out then HAVE one

and lastly you NEVER EVER need a cheat day. Just an excuse to eat rubbish for the day and undo all your hard work. Just add your "cheat day" foods in your weekly meal plan, simple!
