Additional Tips

​

• Use seasonings on your food instead of sauces. The calories you save can translate into fat loss.

• Consistency is the key to success.  Lay out a plan & execute it every single time.

• Add lemon, lime, orange, or cucumber to your water. It adds flavor but keeps your drinks low calorie. 

• Learn to eat for fuel, not for pleasure. Food is meant to be nourishment for your body and mind. 

• When you start a fitness program, the people around you will either support you or tear you down. Ignore their negativity. Remember that your goal is to be healthy. 

• For your workouts, start with your most difficult compound exercise first. A compound exercise recruits a high number of muscle fibers at one time, and should be a priority in every workout. Make sure you are doing at least one of them in every workout. Examples include – bench press, squats, dead lifts, rows, pull-ups, push ups, and variations thereof. 

• Losing weight is just as much of (if not more of) a mental challenge than a physical one. If you can take control of your mind and body, the weight loss will follow.

• Diet, exercise, and recovery are the 3 cornerstones to a well thought out fitness program. An equal importance should be placed on all 3 of them. 

• Your lifestyle is highly influenced by the people close to you. To be fit, surround yourself with fit people.

• Eat at predetermined meal times. Your body adapts to these times, and when it knows it will be getting food soon, it’s less likely to send you hunger signals.
