It’s 4pm on a dreary Thursday at the office when an email comes through from Corporate to your inbox.  It reads:

What do you do?!!!!

1. Sort your diet out.  You’ve heard the saying “you are what you eat” right?  Think about it: you put crap processed food into your body, you’ll look and feel like crap.  Am I right?!  Start eating more nutritious meals and drinking more clean water – your energy levels pick up, your skin clears up and those unwanted pounds start disappearing!  Don’t touch anything processed or packaged, eat and cook fresh the majority of the time and you can’t go far wrong.
2. Get some resistance!  Despite what some fitness “gurus” might tell you long steady state cardio is NOT the only way (nor is it the best way) to shift body fat.  Metabolic resistance training not only burns fat during the workouts but up to 48 hours after thanks to EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption or “afterburn” as it’s more commonly known)!  That means after your workout you’ll still be shedding body fat whilst your sat with your feet up!
3. State your expectations. What do you expect to achieve – is it to get back into skinny jeans, slim down for your wedding dress – whatever it is you need to be crystal clear on exactly what it is you want.  If you skip this step it’s like getting in your car to go somewhere you’ve never been before and not programming the sat nav or planning the route – you’ll end up driving round in circles getting more and more frustrated!  Know where you’re starting from, exactly what you want to achieve (think of this step a bit like putting the postcode in the sat nav – you need to be that exact!), know when you want to get there and get moving!  A good goal would be: I want to slim down to a size 10 to fit back into my skinny jeans by May 1st 2011.
4. Get 40 winks. Good quality sleep is not only essential for fat loss but overall health as well.  Whilst you sleep your body repairs and regenerates and many of your body’s organs are quietly at work (like your digestive system and liver).  If you’re not getting adequate rest your body can’t do this.  Cut out the caffeine (yep that’s right, ditch that morning coffee!), cut down on the tv/computer time before bed,  keep your stress levels down and enjoy a decent nights kip!
5. Keep hydrated. When your body is the slightest bit dehydrated the last thing it wants to do is cooperate with you and drop body fat!  In fact it will do the exact opposite!  Make sure you drink 3 litres of clean water (not tap water or Brita filtered – that won’t clean it nearly enough!) every day to keep your hydration levels up and that fat burning going!
