1 – Turn off the box

Don’t eat in front of the TV. University of Massachusetts showed that people who watch TV during a meal consume 228 calories on average than those who don’t.

2 – Calorie Control

Limit your fat intake by 50g a day. Matt Roberts – ironically just reading about him today, (Mattroberts.co.uk) one of the personal trainers to the stars simplifies it down. He says to calculate your BMR (the amount of calories your body uses each day), follow Harris Benedict Equation (66+13.7 x weight in kg) + (5x height (cm) – (6.8 x age in years) – keep to this and you should lose 1kg a week! – Arm-Bar hotness!

3 – Cut down on bread

Ban refined carbs and focus elsewhere (ban on the white breads, white pastas and rice and fruit drinks)

4 – Run but still walk

Simple actions help. Take the stairs and not the lift.

5 – Size matters

Nutritionist Angela Dowden says an easy way to measure the amount of food per plate is to use everyday objects. Example, a portion of pasta or rice should be the size of clenched fist.

6 – Don’t skip meals

You will probably end up snacking later by ordering a kebab. And skipping meals slows down your metabolism.

7 – Slow eating

Studies, repeat, many studies highlight slow eating has a number of benefits. You can reduce your intake 60-70 calories. So even if you put this to every meal – your going to loose weight and these extra simple and effortless tips go along hand in hand.

8 – Don’t start what you can’t finish

The first rule of weight loss is to be realistic. Small steady steps that are sustainable and fit in with your lifestyle.

9 – Break the fast

Eat breakfast like a king. Lunch like a prince. Dinner like a pauper. Arm-Bar Hotness.

Eating breakfast not only improves concentration, memory and metabolism, but studies show that people who ate half their daily calories first thing lost more weight than those who skimped on calories.

10 – Go green

– Arm-Bar Hotness.

Green tea or drinking a green vegetable drink first thing in the morning won’t just fill you up. It will balance your pH levels and help towards strength conditioning. Being in an acidic state disrupts the body’s chemistry and the hormones needed to convert fat into fuel. mmmmhmmm
