Want to achieve your fat loss goals? Follow these 5 steps

Whenever I speak to someone who’s looking to lose body fat and tone up, my first question to them is ‘what steps have you put in place to make sure that you succeed’?

Usually their answer is ‘no steps, I’m just going to take it day by day and see how it goes’

I’m sorry but if that’s your attitude then I have to say, ‘those who fail to plan, plan to fail. Period…

Especially for you, I’ve put together my 5 steps that will help you succeed in your fat loss goals.

1. Always keep a weekly food & exercise journal
How can you possibly keep track if you’re not writing everything down. By doing this you will see what works and what doesn’t work. How’s certain make you feel. This is a fantastic way to build on your future eating & exercising habits.

2. Grab a workout buddy or join an online support group.
Basically people that are in the same boat as you, looking to achieve the same goals. It’s an amazing thing being able to share your journey with someone else. There’s also a mega bonus of them holding you accountable to the promises you’ve made to yourself and to each other.

3. Change those eating habits
Gone are the days when you need 3 good meals a day. Follow my rule of 5 small meals a day.
1. Breakfast
2. Lunch
3. Snack (mid morning)
4. Dinner
5. Snack (mid afternoon)
Not only will that stop you reaching for the donuts but it will also keep your metabolism working at full speed.

4. Keep your workouts fun and interesting
Always follow a structured workout plan that changes every 4 weeks. Not only will this provide you with variety but it will also stop you from hitting the dreaded plateau. Why not mix up your regular workouts with some Frisbee or softball in the park with some friends or try one of my body weight workouts in the great outdoors. Remember the 3 F’s rule of life...FUN, FITNESS & FRESH AIR!

5. Finally, one of the most important steps
You must want to change from the inside and for YOU because I can guarantee, if you don’t want it 100% and you are going in on a half hearted basis. You will only give it 50% and unfortunately this will lead to failure.

I know you can do it, I am with you all the way! If you have any questions then fire them at me, I’m happy to help.


Stay fit, keep focused and feel fabulous!
