Step 1. Eat 6 Meals Per Day

Plan to eat your total caloric intake for the day across six meals. This means eating well-balanced, healthy meals (protein, carbohydrates and good fats) every 2 – 3 hours (called “grazing”) to help you stay energized all day.

Plan to eat smaller meals more frequently, rather than larger meals less often. This means eating breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as three snacks (morning, afternoon and evening snacks). This will naturally increase your metabolic rate and increase the number of calories you burn per day.

A typical daily menu could comprise of the following:

Breakfast:  Protein in the form of egg whites / protein drink / some low fat, low sugar yoghurt + some plant based food (fruit / vegetables) + some high energy food (cup of breakfast cereal / piece of wholemeal toast).

Morning Tea:   A small tub of yoghurt & / or a piece of fruit.

Lunch:  Protein in the form of chicken / salmon / tuna (approximately 100g) + a salad mix with lots of colour and crunch.  Or one round of sandwiches on wholemeal bread or one wrap with filled with 100g of protein and salad.

Afternoon Tea:  As for morning tea.

Dinner:  Protein in the form of chicken, beef, fish, steak, pork, kangaroo (approximately 100g) + 3 cups of mixed colourful and crunchy vegetables + up to 1 cup of high energy food such as cooked rice (preferably brown), pasta or potato (preferably sweet potato).

Evening Snack:  Popcorn (20g pack) or 4 Vita Weats / small crisp bread with some peanut butter or avocado or a piece of fruit & some yoghurt.

Step 2. Drink At Least 1.5 – 2 Litres 0f Water Daily

Drink at least 1.5 to 2 litres of clean fresh water daily. Water is essential to keep you well-hydrated and to help flush out toxins from your body.

Step 3. Complete 3 – 4 Resistance Sessions Per Week

Resistance training is essential to build strong healthy muscles. The more muscle you have, the more fat you burn and the more energized you will feel. A resistance program can be as simple as doing body weighted exercises such as push-ups, squats and pull-ups, to lifting weights or using resistance bands / gym equipment. Complete at least 3 sessions per week to build and maintain muscle, anything less and you may get results, but they won’t be as effective. A well-balanced program should include stretching to ensure that your flexibility is maintained, help you recover more quickly between workouts and avoid injuries.

Step 4. Complete 3 – 4 Cardiovascular Sessions Per Week

A critical component of your weight loss success is making sure that you do at least 3 cardio sessions per week (at least 20 mins duration), in addition to your resistance training, to get the results you’re after.  Cardio training elevates your heart rate above normal levels and burns excess calories. A key component of fat loss is making sure you burn more calories than you consume – cardio is a great way to burn off those excess calories.

Step 5. Obtain 6 Hours Sleep Per Night

Getting plenty of rest each night ensures that your body can recover from the rigours of the day and greatly assists in preparing you for the next day and subsequent workouts. If you’re well rested you can get the best results possible from your body.

You must be focused and consistent with these 5 action steps daily.  You will feel the results in your body, see the improvements in the mirror, increase your focus and enjoy the additional profit in your bank account!
