10 Steps For Fat Loss

1) Calculate how many calories you body needs to consume to
maintain your existing weight. This is called you maintenance
calories.(Search google with "calorie needs" and you will find
a few different calculators to help you with this)

2) Initially deduct 10%(to a maximum of 500Kcal)off the total
maintenance calories. Drastically reducing your calories will
result in muscle and water loss - not fat loss.

3) Divide you calories over 5 or 6 meals rather then 2 or 3.
You should aim to eat every 3-4 hours.

4) Cut out all simple carbohydrates (except straight after
exercise, eat whole grain, high fibre foods.)

5) Exercise at least 3 times a week, doing 30 minutes of cardio
to a reasonable level of intensity. This will help to create the
calorie defecit and encourage your body to lose fat.

6) Make simple replacements in your diet, Sweetner in place of
sugar, diet drinks in place of full sugar drinks, use leaner
cuts of meat etc. At first these changes may be difficult but
you will get used to them and make vital calorie savings every
day.

7) Drink plenty of water - at least 2 litres of water every day
- if you are dehydrated you body will be less efficient and will
make fat loss more difficult.

8) Try to eat low carb(complex only!), low fat and moderate
protein. From my experience the South Beach Diet is excellent.

9) Keep a food diary to monitor how many calories you are
consuming - it is very easy to over eat.

10) Supplementing you diet can make fat loss easier. A diet
high in protein can help preserve muscle (more muscle means an
increase in metabolism). There are also some fat loss
supplements available which help boost your metabolism, this is
useful as your metabolism may slow during extended periods of
dieting.
