TIPS FOR HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS FOR MY FANS AND FRIENDS

 1. Firstly, you must ask yourself this question. Why do you want to lose weight? Ladies, do you want to fit into your old clothes or to look "better" in your new dresses and swimsuits? Gentlemen, do you want to look/be fitter or more muscular/toned indoors/outdoors?

2. To lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit – this means you need to be eating less than your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). 

3. Going to the gym but not losing weight? Note that protein bars and energy drinks after a session at the gym, may undo all of your hard working out. Don't rely on them as they contain sweeteners although they may be convenient. Many of these products are packed with carbohydrates, which means they have so many calories in them! Unless you need this energy to fuel your activity (such as a long run of over an hour), plain water or zero-calorie electrolyte drinks make a healthier choice.

4. Meal timing is significant for weight management. It is a fact that high calorie breakfasts after fasting overnight may be beneficial for weight loss goals.

5. The scales are not adequate after working out at the gym as muscle weighs more than fat. Try a body composition test, which measures your fat and muscle percentage, giving a more accurate evaluation of how you are doing in your quest to lose flab from your body.

6. Switch up your exercise plans with a varied programme including cardio, resistance training (which may include weights, resistance bands or using your body weight).
