Eagan personal trainers show five keys to weight loss success that anyone can do
1) Most personal trainers don’t know this one. Find out what your metabolic type is. What is that you ask? It’s the rate of how you break down your foods. Why is that important? This will help determine your ratio of protein you should consume, the amount of carbs and the amount of fat you can eat on a daily basis.
If you are a fast oxidizer, you need more protein and more fat in your diet. If your a slow oxidizer too much fat will really bog you down. Not only will you not be able to lose weight efficiently if you are not eating for your metabolic type, you will not optimize your health. How can you determine your metabolic type? You can do a hair test right here at the Body Project, Eagan’s only holistic personal training studio.
At the Body Project. You will get a custom 30 page report nutritional program for
your chemistry, not a cookie cutter program this ensures that you will not only lose fat faster, but you can determine your over all health.
2) If you are not losing weight, you may be eating either too much food, or just the wrong types of foods.
3) Eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, and good protein sources. Don’t eat
junk from a bag, box or wrapper.
4) Give yourself one treat meal per week to look forward to – not a
treat day, just a treat meal.
5) Plan ahead. Prepare your meals (spend 1-2 hours on the weekend
getting your meals and meal plan ready for the week). Identify
obstacles and come up with solutions to avoid them.
That is it.
Very simple. Most people do pretty well on 2 and 3 and even 5, but mess
up on number 4. I often hear how well someone did all day long, but
then while making dinner they snack on upwards of 500 calories of
their kid’s treats, or other processed carbohydrates they have lying
around the house. This is a big one for many parents of young children trying to lose weight.
The little things can add up to big time problems. So take a good
long look at everything you put in your mouth.
And all of this can be avoided if you follow rule #5.
Combine our five simple nutrition rules with three interval strength training workouts
per week and interval cardio training, and you have
a very manageable fat loss plan that can fit any busy lifestyle.
That has been the secret to many of our weight loss success stories here
