By Dorethea Abila


There are two methods that need to be performed together in order for you to get slim, and that is exercise and dieting. 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 Food Plan

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. 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.

It is advisable to eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible. These will supply the essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function correctly. They are also full of fiber which will fill you up quickly. When your body is healthy, your metabolism works efficiently!

Fitness Plan to Get Slim

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. 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! 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

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. 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. If you commit to doing this 5 times per week then weight loss is almost guaranteed!

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!
