Here's how to get Lean

By Hedwig Clement


Exercise and diet are the two factors that need to be considered together to ensure you get more trim. Without these two it is pointless to try to slim down unless you starve yourself. Consistency is the most important strategy you should be striving for when trying to lose weight, as without consistency, you are more likely to gain weight instead of losing it!

The Eating Plan

You need to drink water before every meal, which is at least a glass. This is going to curve your appetite and make you feel full, thus making you eat less. Consequently you only need smaller portioned meals with only healthy, and low fat and calorie foods. Feel free to eat fish and turkey because they are healthy, but only eat lean red meats and chicken.

Be sure to add in plenty of green vegetables and fruits. These will supply the essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function correctly. Also, the fiber in them will make you feel fuller for longer. When your body is healthy, your metabolism works efficiently!

Exercise Plan to become Trim

Perform plenty of strength building workouts such as weights. You only need to weight train for 15 minutes a day, on most days to get the benefits and help lose fat. Add in toning exercises such as crunches and sit-ups, plus some high intensity dumbbell workouts. This is the best method of really trimming down and getting the figure you want quickly. The increase in muscle mass you gain from these exercises will also burn more fat throughout the day. They are great for burning fat even when not working out!

Cardio Exercises

You need to perform plenty of cardio exercises such as running, cycling and jumping rope. This type of exercise will immediately burn off a large amount of calories. A good routine would be to run for 15 minutes, jump rope for x3 sets of two minute sessions, weight train for 15 minutes and then perform crunches and sit-ups. If you commit to doing this 5 times per week then weight loss is almost guaranteed!

Make sure you keep yourself hydrated during these sessions to counter the loss through sweat. Drink zero calorie electrolyte drinks if you feel you are deprived of the electrolytes that give your body energy.

Patience is required early on to start seeing results on your body and the scale. Just stick to your diet and exercise plans. All the rest will come with it!
