Learn how to get Lean

By Annie Emond


There are two methods that need to be performed together in order for you to get slim, and that is exercise and dieting. Slimming down would be almost impossible to do in a healthy way unless you have these two vital ingredients. What you want is consistency when it comes to losing fat, and you need to always maintain it because weight gain with be almost doubled if you fall down the path of unhealthy eating again!

The Diet Regime

You need to drink water before every meal, which is at least a glass. Water in your belly you will feel more full and therefore reduce your appetite, which in turn means you eat less. Therefor you can have smaller portion sizes containing only healthy, low fat ingredients. For meats, try to reduce red meats, and cut the fats off them. You can eat turkey, chicken and fish more often if that helps.

Be sure to add in plenty of green vegetables and fruits. These are going to give you plenty of vitamins and minerals that are necessary to make your body run healthy. They are also full of fiber which will fill you up quickly. When your body is healthy, your metabolism works efficiently!

Fitness Program to become Trim

Weight training is a vital part of your exercise plan. 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 will be your sure way of making a slim, hour glass figure in no time at all! Another benefit of this type of strength training is that your muscles will grow, and will use extra calories whilst they are growing. They are great for burning fat even when not working out!

Aerobic Workouts

Cardio exercises such as running, jump rope or swimming are also important to add to the plan. This type of exercise will immediately burn off a large amount of calories. An example of a workout routine could be to do 15 mins of cardio, 15 mins of weight training, then add in some bodyweight exercises including situps and crunches. Do these 4-5 days and you will surely lose weight fast!

Hydrate yourself because a lot of nutrients and water is going to leave your body. Sports drinks are ok to consume straight after a workout to replace lost electrolytes, but not for the rest of the day.

Patience is required early on to start seeing results on your body and the scale. Make sure you stick to your plan. All the rest will come with it!
