Learn how to get Lean

By Annie Emond


There are two methods that need to be performed together in order for you to get slim, and that is exercise and dieting. Without these two it is pointless to try to slim down unless you starve yourself. What you want is consistency when it comes to losing fat, and you need to always maintain it because weight gain with be almost doubled if you fall down the path of unhealthy eating again!

The Diet Regime

You need to drink water before every meal, which is at least a glass. Water in your belly you will feel more full and therefore reduce your appetite, which in turn means you eat less. Consequently you only need smaller portioned meals with only healthy, and low fat and calorie foods. Feel free to eat fish and turkey because they are healthy, but only eat lean red meats and chicken.

Be sure to add in plenty of green vegetables and fruits. These are going to give you plenty of vitamins and minerals that are necessary to make your body run healthy. Also, the fiber in them will make you feel fuller for longer. When your body is healthy, your metabolism works efficiently!

Workout Plan to become Lean

Perform plenty of strength building workouts such as weights. Just 15 minutes a day of weight training, five days a week will help you slim down plenty. Add in toning exercises such as crunches and sit-ups, plus some high intensity dumbbell workouts. This is the best method of really trimming down and getting the figure you want quickly. Another benefit of this type of strength training is that your muscles will grow, and will use extra calories whilst they are growing. They are great for burning fat even when not working out!

Aerobic Workouts

Cardio exercises such as running, jump rope or swimming are also important to add to the plan. This type of exercise will immediately burn off a large amount of calories. A good routine would be to run for 15 minutes, jump rope for x3 sets of two minute sessions, weight train for 15 minutes and then perform crunches and sit-ups. Do these 4-5 days and you will surely lose weight fast!

Make sure you keep yourself hydrated during these sessions to counter the loss through sweat. Drink zero calorie electrolyte drinks if you feel you are deprived of the electrolytes that give your body energy.

Patience is required early on to start seeing results on your body and the scale. Just stick to your diet and exercise plans. Success is not far off!
