3 Essentials Tips To Help You Lose Weight
Every woman's journey to health and well-being is unique
And so, when embarking on a weight loss plan you must find a plan that is specific to you and your goals
And most important, It must be something that works around you and is sustainable
Taking in to consideration:
Your Lifestyle
Your Family Commitment
Your Work Commitments
Your Social Life
This is why so many people fail at weight loss, because they join a program that is generic and not specific to them
There are elements of a good diet plan that are essential and, in this post, below we list two of the most essential components and their benefits to you and your diet plan
And we also talk about exercise and the most beneficial way of training to change your body shape and help you in your weight loss journey
Weight Loss Tip 1: Hydrate
Water, more than just a thirst quencher, is a cornerstone of effective weight loss
Boosting Metabolism: Our metabolic rate—the speed at which we burn calories—is intrinsically linked to our hydration levels
Even mild dehydration can slow down metabolism. For those serious about losing weight, maintaining optimal hydration is crucial
Natural Appetite Suppressant: Ever felt ravenous only to feel satiated after drinking water?
Sometimes, our bodies confuse thirst with hunger
Drinking a glass of water before meals can substantially reduce caloric intake
Elevating Mood and Energy: Proper hydration ensures our body functions at its peak
This means better mood, higher energy levels, and enhanced stamina for workouts
Recommendations: Aim to consume at least 2-3 litres of water daily
opt for a refillable water bottle, ensuring you sip throughout the day
For those who find plain water monotonous, experimenting with fruit-infused concoctions can be a game-changer
Weight Loss Tip 2: Have Protein With Every Meal
The value of protein in a weight-loss-centric diet cannot be overstated
Muscle Building and Repair: Protein is essential for muscle synthesis
The more muscle mass one has, the higher their resting metabolic rate
This means you burn more calories even when you're not working out
Hormonal Balance: Protein plays a pivotal role in hormone regulation, ensuring hunger and satiety hormones are in balance
This minimises overeating and unnecessary snacking
Digestive Advantage: Digesting protein consumes more energy (calories) compared to fats or carbohydrates
Suggested Foods:
Poultry: opt for grilled chicken or turkey as a lean protein source
Eggs are also an incredible source of protein (and fat) as well as essential vitamins
Plant-Based: Lentils, black beans, chickpeas, and quinoa offer protein and fibre
Dairy: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and milk are protein-rich and versatile
Seafood: Fish like salmon and tuna are not only rich in protein but also provide essential omega-3 fatty acids
Weight Loss Tip 3: Strength Training
Lifting weights is transformative, both mentally and physically
Body Composition: While cardio burns calories, strength training reshapes the body
It increases muscle tone, ensuring you don't just lose weight but also achieve a defined, sculpted look
Bone Health: Especially crucial for women, lifting weights can combat the risk of osteoporosis
Weight Loss Tip 3: Push Pull Legs Workouts:
A great example of a 3-day strength training routine is a ‘Push-Pull-Legs’ workout
Push Workout: Exercises that involve pushing, targeting the chest, shoulders, and triceps.
Examples include, bench presses, dumbbell shoulder presses and triceps presses
Pull Workout: These exercises engage muscles responsible for pulling
The focus is on the back and biceps with movements like pull-ups, barbell rows, and bicep curls
Legs Workout: A lower body workout targeting quads, hamstrings, calves, and glutes
Squats, deadlifts, and lunges are the core of this workout
Recommendation: For beginners, starting with bodyweight exercises can be beneficial
As confidence and strength build, introducing weights becomes more seamless
Embarking on a weight loss journey can seem daunting
Yet, it's often the most straightforward, consistent steps that yield transformative results
By embracing hydration, amplifying protein intake, and integrating strength training, every woman can pave her path to holistic well-being
You do not need to complicate the journey by calorie counting, in fact at Gym Reb3l and during our 6-Week Body Transformation Plan we are against counting calories
The best way to lose weight is to work on daily habits
If you can instal healthy habits then you change your lifestyle and natural eating habits, meaning the whole process does not become a chore
The reason so many people put weight back on after losing it Is because they have not learned new habits
Instead, they follow a process, lose the weight and then old habits come back in and the weight gains
