“Not Losing Weight?”

One of the biggest mistakes people make when they try to lose weight fat is severely restricting their food intake. This starvation method never works in the long term!

Because when you sharply reduce your food intake, your body respond accordingly and reduce the rate at which it burns fat – this is a result of genetic programming that has been developed over 10,000 years of human evolution.

“One of the body’s survival mechanisms is to lower its metabolic rate when it is starved!”

Worst still you will lose muscle tissue. You will feel tired, weak and irritable and your immune system will suffer, too. In addition you will develop nutrient deficiencies that will result in thousands of your body’s natural metabolic processes to misfire and within days your body will sound alarm bells and the next thing you know you will be bingeing on carbs.

“To get the best results you need to work with your body and not against it”

To build a lean, healthy body, you have to eat well and turn your body into an efficient fat burning machine but it’s not about cutting down, you have to eat the right foods and have a balanced exercise programme of aerobic and anaerobic activities.

Below is a quick menu of Fat Burning Foods:

Eggs Breakfast with Scrambled – a protein source which tells your body when you are full – Journal of the American College of Nutrition
Lunch with Tuna – tuna’s fatty acids raise your leptin to fill you up faster – University of Wisconsin
Pot of Yogurt – contains protein and calcium. Eat yogurt 3 times a day to lose an extra 22% weight over three months – University of Tennessee
Tomato Juice – add a chilli to tomato juice, evidence suggests there is positive correlation between ingesting capsaicin and a decrease in weight regain – UCLA Centre for Human Nutrition.
Jacket Potato – a baked potato gives you 6g of fibre. Raise your intake 10g a day to reduce your body’s fat storage – Journal of Obesity
Cinnamon – Cinnamon reduces insulin so less sugar is stored as fat – American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Prawns – Prawns hold the biggest cache of zinc, a vital testosterone production, muscle gain and fat loss – Journal of the American College of Nutrition.
