Posh does it this way, Angelina does it that way. This is how we Personal Trainers do fat loss in the real world with my very real clients – useful people with real jobs!

1. Decide – the power of a true decision is often underestimated! A true commitment to something like weight loss or any real decision if it means anything, means taking ACTION NOW! If you are not willing at the end of reading this article to get up and go DO something towards your better health or future then forget it and stay fat. This may well sound tough, that’s life, if you aren’t willing to take action right away it isn’t going to work for you is it? I have seen this many many times with clients and their good intentions, I pull no punches with them and I’m not going to start being soft and sugar coating this truth for you!

2. Food – don’t concern yourself with the latest fad diet! Simply stick to low GI foods (this is getting easier with many foods being labelled Low, Medium or High GI), minimize bread, avoid white flower/ baked goods. Unprocessed vegetables and fruit are miles better than their processed cousins. Plain meat and fish beats processed pies and frozen ready meals, and before anyone starts the usual mournful worries about cost; fresh ingredients are virtually always cheaper than ready meals and processed food! To suggest otherwise is patronizing to those of us who have eaten incredibly healthily on below minimum wage – thanks Mum!

Drink plenty of water, minimal tea, coffee and fizzy drinks (diet or otherwise).

Alcohol, oh my goodness, where do we start? Alcohol is the biggest weight loss killer bar none! As Allan Carr says, it’s a ‘Drug called Devastation’. There is a good reason why the colloquial expression is, “what’s your poison'”? It’s the middle class condition, sit at home and knock back a ‘glass’ of red wine most evenings (make that a bottle!), reduce their immune system effectiveness and sabotage any chance of the fat loss they are paying me for! Take one day per week as your ‘Treat Day’ when you might indulge in some junk food, or have a drink of alcohol or fizzy pop if you like.

3. Activity – It’s going to become your lifestyle! You are the only one who can choose to love that. Its not a chore, its a privilege! Only YOU have the ability and right to make the choice. If you are not in an wheelchair think yourself lucky and get out there; walking, running, take up a sport, go to a dance class, it’s cheap and amazing fun. You don’t have to join a gym, If you don’t enjoy it or can’t decide to enjoy it, forget it but find something(s) you do like. There is no valid excuse for sitting around and complaining that you can’t lose weight. Oh and if you are in a wheelchair… go out and do the same.

Conclusion – keep it simple. Don’t baffle yourself with science, I don’t… how many highly intelligent Doctor types who know all about nutrition and health end up as fat unhealthy alcoholics… too many!

Decide that you are going to do this, that you are going to live as a healthy, free and energetic individual, commit to it by going out and buying a weeks worth of healthy food and chucking all your alcohol down the drain.

Take whatever action comes up as a possible option… do some press ups, go for a brisk walk, put the radio on and dance for 10 minutes! If you don’t enjoy it, I challenge you to keep trying new things till you find what you do enjoy, just don’t kid yourself that you’ve a valid excuse to be fat, low energy and unfit.
