The best way for women to lose weight comes down to 3 things
Single Ingredient Foods
Low Sugar Content
Activity
Weight loss does come down to total calories for that day and while it may be something you might track in the future
For those starting out you need to keep it simple and start with the basics
Scanning, weighing and logging you food each day can add more stress to your weight loss journey - and for a lot of people calorie counting does not work
Which is why at Gym Reb3l we don't recommend it
Instead we focus on 6 core principles
And the 3 mentioned above are 3 of what we cover on our 6-week challenge
If You Focus On Health... Weight Loss Is Easy
While most clients come to Gym Reb3l and join our 6-week challenge because they want to lose weight
We turn the focus on think long-term
At Gym Reb3l the focus has to be on creating habits
And so if we can focus the clients on the importance of getting healthy and understanding
how being healthy makes you feel
It makes the whole process so much easier
And if you are getting healthier
Then your habits change and so does your body weight
First, Focus On The Quality of Your Foods
At Gym Reb3l we hate it when we see other adverts from personal trainers or weight loss programs advertising 'Eat What You Want and Lose Weight'
While this may appeal to people the job of a personal trainer is to not only help you to lose weight and increase your muscle tone
They also have to help you to establish healthy habits and improve your health
Losing weight will help to improve your health but if you are still making unhealthy choices and filling your day with the snacks or drinks that made you put on weight in the first place, you are not doing it right
Yes, you may be managing things better but your diet must still be made up of 80% single ingredient, nutritious foods
400 Calories or processed foods will not give you the same nutrition content as 400 calories of single ingredient foods
So, when you are shopping, stick to single ingredient foods
Low Sugar Content Foods
Sugar can make even the most disgusting foods taste amazing and unfortunately sugar is the ultimate killer when it comes to health problems
Obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes to name just a few problems
A huge problem with sugar based foods or added sweeteners was that the 'low fat' craze took this off the scale
Food company's would replace the fats with either sugar or sweeteners to help with the taste which in turn has resulted in poorer diets
Side Note: Fats are amazing for you; nuts, seeds, fish...
Stay away from smoothies, syrups and processed foods
Increase Your Activity
Getting active is so important
It helps to improve circulation, muscles tone, increase your cardiovascular output and most importantly... it makes you feel good
Whether it is
Walking
Running
Gym
Fitness Classes
Golf (walk don't take the buggy)
Swimming
Anything that is going to increase your heart rate and improve your cardiovascular health
Make sure it is something you enjoy and that is sustainable
