1. Diet
The word diet is confused for
eating vegetables. However,
the reality is that in order for
a body builder to increase his/
her weight, large amounts of
high caloric food need to be
consumed; sometimes up to
8000 calories per day.
A sensible diet is eating right.
Before eating, ask yourself
what you are going to do in
the next three hours. If it is
sleep or watch TV, do you
really need all that rice to
sleep?
However, if you are going
to have a long day, a good
carbohydrate breakfast would
be the best way to go.
According to Kris, when the
sun goes down, shy away from
carbohydrates.
Remember fat loss/ weight
loss = calories in – calories
out. If you eat 2000 calories,
and burn 3500 calories per
day, the 1500 calories extra
comes from your stored
energy: fat. And that leads to
weight/fat loss.
2. Perform exercises
that will increase
your metabolism.
Exercises that target the large
muscles like the legs, glutes, and
quads are the best way to go.
Some of these include: squats,
lunges, and Bridge.
Exercises that will increase your
heart rate to above 60 percent
of your resting heart rate are
a variation. Some of these
include: swimming and interval
running.
3. Remember it’s
the thought that
counts.
Exercise must be a permanent
thought at the forefront of
your daily life. Thinking about
exercise allows your body to
gravitate towards exercise. We
are a product of our thinking.
What we think becomes our
actions, our actions become our
habits, and our habits become
our character. And this is where
change happens; when you do
not struggle to choose what
to eat, you do not think twice
about going to the gym or not.
It is your character; it is part of
your personality.
And that is how a permanently
slender waistline is achieved.
