Fat Loss in 30 Days - Diet & Exercise Tips To
Transform Your Body
Trying
to achieve some permanent fat loss in 30 days is not such a hard
thing to do but you have to be flexible enough to follow the right
combination of meal plan and workouts.
The idea is not to kill yourself with dehydration or starvation
and you sure don't want to get hurt doing endless hours of exercise.
What you want to do is impact your goals in 30 days but while in
that process you are learning some lifestyle change. How to eat
on a regular basis, how to balance clean eating with some pleasure
is what becomes ingrained.
If you try to increase the potential of fat loss in 30 days then
of course for that period you want to drop certain food items and
need to up the exercise somewhat but that does not mean it will
be this for forever. Once you attain your goals and hit a maintenance
level you can enjoy sugar on occasion, time of training etc all
within balance and NOT gain the weight back.
You may read over this and say, I knew that and you probably did
know it too. The problem is why are you not doing it, why are you
not motivated, why do you not want to be in control and accountable
for your body? During your 30 day fat loss you must figure these
things out slowly as you piece together meal planning, shopping,
exercise and schedule within your hectic life of kids and work.
You need to find what works and then apply it.
Food is simple. Stick with produce. Try to avoid items which have
labels that include ANYTHING you do not know or understand. Just
try this for the month and see how things go. You may find that
your pallet gets cleansed so that by day 30 you don't even want
to eat some of the things you had eliminated.
Concentrate a large portion of your main meal with dark green and
dark leafy green veggies such as kale, broccoli, green beans. Watch
spinach, it's such a good one but has been known to get recalled
so try to get organic fresh and well cleaned. Ultimately the other
options are excellent if you did not want to chance it.
Next focus on lean proteins and cooking them in a non fatty, non
saturated manner. Add small portion of starchy carbs to the meal
such as peas, squash, dark rice ancient grains or tubers. This is
an efficient selection of metabolism safe foods which will help
you with fat loss and yet keep you filled with wonderful nutrients.
Exercises which seem to promote higher levels of fat loss are of
course cardio and weights but there are some weight exercises which
bring the fat loss on better than others.
Focus on squats, presses, multi muscle group exercises and lighter
weight allowing higher reps, longer sets. Keep rest short or use
circuiting to keep the intensity up.
Water is key and helps flush toxins out of the body while helping
along the fat loss process. Water is not the only essential liquid
though.......omega oils need to be in your diet. Try olive, flax,
coconut, and fish oils but don't cook with them, take them as is
or top on foods. Some of these seed oils make lean proteins and
veggies pop!
Keep a fitness journal
of your training at some level, intricate or not. Just make sure
to jot something down at least twice per week accounting for your
activity and diet. This may be the most important part of things
other than motivation.
