Getting Slim

By Flossie Leininger


There are two methods that need to be performed together in order for you to get slim, and that is exercise and dieting. Without these two it is pointless to try to slim down unless you starve yourself. 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 Food Plan

Drinking at least one glass of water before every meal is an important strategy. This is going to curve your appetite and make you feel full, thus making you eat less. Therefor you can have smaller portion sizes containing only healthy, low fat ingredients. Feel free to eat fish and turkey because they are healthy, but only eat lean red meats and chicken.

Be sure to add in plenty of green vegetables and fruits. These will supply the essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function correctly. Also, the fiber in them will make you feel fuller for longer. When your body is healthy, your metabolism works efficiently!

Workout Program to Get Lean

Weight training is a vital part of your exercise plan. Just 15 minutes a day of weight training, five days a week will help you slim down plenty. Also perform some body weight exercises, and high intensity exercises with lighter weights. This is the best method of really trimming down and getting the figure you want quickly. The increase in muscle mass you gain from these exercises will also burn more fat throughout the day. It's like exercising when you aren't exercising!

Aerobic Workouts

You need to perform plenty of cardio exercises such as running, cycling and jumping rope. They are your guarantee to sweating off all those extra calories. A good routine would be to run for 15 minutes, jump rope for x3 sets of two minute sessions, weight train for 15 minutes and then perform crunches and sit-ups. If you commit to doing this 5 times per week then weight loss is almost guaranteed!

Make sure you keep yourself hydrated during these sessions to counter the loss through sweat. Drink zero calorie electrolyte drinks if you feel you are deprived of the electrolytes that give your body energy.

Patience is required early on to start seeing results on your body and the scale. Make sure you stick to your plan. Success is not far off!
