Therefore if you want to make changes to your body that are long lasting and not just a quick fix then keep reading these simple yet easy to implement tips
Without doubt the first thing that needs to be dealt with is nutrition. If you don't understand how to eat properly or how much food you should be eating then you will not get the results that you want. Diet and the lack of control and knowledge is the greatest factor why people gain and fail to lose weight.
There are many diets out there to choose and it can be very confusing but no matter what you do if you stick to these 3 rules you will have good chance to lose weight.
Diet Tip 1 - Avoid as much as possible any sugar laden foods or those that arrive in a bag, box or packet. Doing this should eliminate the bulk of high processed carbohydrates from your diet, which in my opinion is the main food source that causes much of the weight issues faced by so many adults and children today.
For your carbohydrate sources focus on eating as much as possible foods that are full of fibre and dense in nutrients to control blood sugar levels and satisfy hunger and sweet cravings. These are of course fruits, vegetables and wholegrain based products.
Diet Tip 2 - Get rid of all the calories found in liquids. These are what I call the secret calories that people don't realise they are having but can result in major weight gain and stubborn weight loss. I'm talking about fruit juices (full of sugar and calories) sodas, energy drinks and of course alcohol. Because people are not eating these calories they don't tend to count them towards their daily energy allowance and for a lot of people this is the difference why they are not losing the weight when they should be.
Diet Tip 3 - Think Fibre at ever meal - If you increase the amount of fibre in your diet then you will control you appetite much better guaranteed. Think of foods such as oatmeal, fruits, nuts, and vegetables to have at meal times and as healthy snacks during the day. Just remember to not go crazy. Just because these are healthy foods doesn't mean you can eat as much as you want. The basis for all successful weight loss is to consume fewer calories than we burn. That has always been the case and will not change.
So we have got the diet sorted out the second part to our 3-month weight loss plan is of course exercise. The big factor here is being consistent so make sure whatever activities you choose you are going to enjoy them.
For the purpose of this article here are my tips for exercise.
Exercise Tip 1 - Do some weight training. I advise my client to try and fit in 3 sessions of around 20-30 mins per week of resistance workouts that focus on the whole body. This can be with free weights or body weight whatever is available. Just make sure to include lots of total body movements where lots of muscles are used in each exercise. These include exercises such as lunges; push ups, pulling exercises and squats. If you don't know how to do these then invest in a fitness program that you can follow or hire a personal trainer to give you advice and routines to follow. Do three 20-minute total body strength-training workouts per week. Have a trainer show you how to do squats, push ups, rowing exercises, and other multi-muscle exercises that allow you to train lots of muscle groups in a short amount of time.
Exercise Tip 2 - Make sure to do Cardio exercise - This is very important to lose weight but rather than the normal steady state cardio focus on interval training. This is where you do periods of higher intensity followed by periods of low intensity to recover. You just then repeat this pattern for around 20 minutes. If you can do this 3 times a week as well preferably after the resistance work you will have a great fat burning workout.
Exercise Tip 3 - Start being active - Don't just reserve your energy for the gym try to be as active as possible every day. Indulge in activities that are fun, relaxing but get you moving around. This could include walking, yoga, other sports, or just messing about with the family. The trick is to be burning calories without realising it.
If you want to know how to lose weight in 3 months then follow these guidelines and you won't be far wrong. Just think with a few changes to your diet and lifestyle you could be 10-20 pounds lighter in 90 days.
