Here are Ten Tips for Fat Loss that are easy to incorporate into your lifestyle to help you shed those extra holiday pounds.
- Keep your evening meal lean and healthy by using lean cuts of meat and avoid heavy starchy carbs for dinner. This will aid in fat loss, is easier to digest later in the day, and will help you sleep easier at night.
- Keep a food diary. It holds you accountable keeps you consistent with your weight loss program and helps you track your results.
- Start the day off with a high-protein breakfast instead of a sugary cereal. Try whey protein shakes or eggs in the morning to help you feel full and satisfied longer.
- Eat winter fruits and vegetables like grapefruit, kale, broccoli, and cauliflower, all of which have plenty of vitamins and minerals that promote weight loss too.
- Get creative with fish. Studies show that eating cod (a low-cal mild white fish) may promote weight loss.
- Craving something sweet? Try a bowl of berries to satisfy your sweet tooth, and benefit from the antioxidants you’ll get at the same time.
- Smart snacking: Keep healthy grab-and-go snacks with you always. Try almonds, or pre-cut veggies, or grab a low-fat low- cal yogurt when you’re feeling hungry.
- Get your beauty sleep. Many studies show that getting proper rest is essential for fat loss.
- Snow shoveling – 30 minutes of shoveling will clear your driveway and use up 200 calories. Just make sure you ask Dr. Brian or Dr. Trina how to shovel safely.
- Try a workout that is fun and makes you smile – like Zumba.
