How to Get Lean

By Evelina Chavera


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. 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 Eating Plan

Drinking at least one glass of water before every meal is an important strategy. This is going to curve your appetite and make you feel full, thus making 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.

Be sure to add in plenty of green vegetables and fruits. 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. A healthy running body means an increase in metabolism!

Exercise Program to Get Lean

Weight training is a vital part of your exercise plan. Just 15 minutes a day of weight training, five days a week will help you slim down plenty. 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!

Aerobic Workouts

You need to perform plenty of cardio exercises such as running, cycling and jumping rope. This type of exercise will immediately burn off a large amount of 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. If you commit to doing this 5 times per week then weight loss is almost guaranteed!

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. Make sure you stick to your plan. Success is not far off!
