I wanted to share a few weight loss tips so that if you’re stuck with your weight. You’ll have the simple answers to put it right As you read through these, you’ll see that all of them are pretty simple, which might make you think they don’t make a huge difference And you’d be right. Making just one of these changes won’t make much of an improvement… But when you make several small changes like these, the small improvements start to add up Great analogy I like to use when I tell people to make a small change Imagine an airplane leaving from LA flying direct to Rome. The flight will take about 12 hours if the plane goes in a direct and straight line. But, if the nose of the airplane is pointed just 1 degree off course to the south, after 12 hours the plane will land somewhere in Tunisia, Africa! If there is a one degree difference to the north the plane might land in Slovenia or Austria! A teeny weeny difference in direction has a huge effect in outcome over a long distance. So… the best part is these changes don’t require much effort, making it easier for them to become habits that you can stick with long-term.~ 1) Keep earlier meals relatively similar most of the time. Most people have full control over the meals they eat earlier in the day. Keeping these meals relatively similar makes it easier to stay consistent.Plus, it gives you more room for flexibility with your dinners, which is when most people need it most. 2) Prioritise strength training over cardio, if and when possible Strength training is, by far, the best form of exercise for losing fat and getting lean. If possible, make this the core focus of your exercise regimen. Now, before you get up in arms about me bashing cardio… 3) Slowly increase your activity level with steady state cardio One of the easiest ways to do this is by increasing your daily step goal by 2,000-3,000 steps per day, equal to roughly 20-30 minutes of walking. This speeds up your metabolism, so you don’t have to go into a deeper calorie deficit. 4) Avoid unnecessary calories from liquids and sauces Calories you get from liquids and sauces have little to no impact on hunger, which is why it’s best to avoid or limit them when you’re trying to lose weight. 5) Have at least 30-40g of protein with your first meal This will help you stay full and make hitting your protein goal for the day easier. Here are some examples: 3 whole eggs, 4 egg whites, 3 chicken sausages, veggies, 1.5-2 scoops of protein powder. Again, these are just a few small changes that, individually, don’t make a huge difference. But when you put ’em together, they add up. Quick. Ali P.S.
