Getting Slim

By Selina Wayland


Exercise and diet are the two factors that need to be considered together to ensure you get more trim. Slimming down would be almost impossible to do in a healthy way unless you have these two vital ingredients. Consistency is the most important strategy you should be striving for when trying to lose weight, as without consistency, you are more likely to gain weight instead of losing it!

The Diet Regime

Drinking at least one glass of water before every meal is an important strategy. Water in your belly you will feel more full and therefore reduce your appetite, which in turn means you eat less. Therefor you can have smaller portion sizes containing only healthy, low fat ingredients. For meats, try to reduce red meats, and cut the fats off them. You can eat turkey, chicken and fish more often if that helps.

It is advisable to eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible. 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!

Fitness Plan to Get Trim

Weight training is a vital part of your exercise plan. You only need to weight train for 15 minutes a day, on most days to get the benefits and help lose fat. Also perform some body weight exercises, and high intensity exercises with lighter weights. This will be your sure way of making a slim, hour glass figure in no time at all! 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!

Cardio Exercises

Cardio exercises such as running, jump rope or swimming are also important to add to the plan. They are your guarantee to sweating off all those extra calories. An example of a workout routine could be to do 15 mins of cardio, 15 mins of weight training, then add in some bodyweight exercises including situps and crunches. Do these 4-5 days and you will surely lose weight fast!

Hydrate yourself because a lot of nutrients and water is going to leave your body. Sports drinks are ok to consume straight after a workout to replace lost electrolytes, but not for the rest of the day.

Patience is required early on to start seeing results on your body and the scale. Just stick to your diet and exercise plans. All the rest will come with it!
