Fad diets - Herbalife, Juice Plus, Weight Watchers.

These products really annoy me! Sorry to be blunt, but that is how I feel. These money making schemes encourage a continuous spamming of our social media to get us to buy into a belief and waste our money on their ‘weight loss’ gimmick.  Half the people selling them don't know, or really care, what is in the product and are just looking to make money quickly. Before you continue, this blog may seem like a rant however I do have some worthwhile advice in here, promise!

Firstly, meal replacement drinks are not a healthy or a sustainable way to lose weight. Yes you will lose weight in the immediate future, but who wouldn't if you just had a drink all day rather than a healthy balanced diet! As soon as you then start eating again you will put weight back on, if not more than you started with.

There is no quick fix or magic pill that will suddenly make you lose weight. Sorry. I wish there was, but there just isn’t.

The three things that I personally guarantee work to lose weight healthily and efficiently are;

1) Hard work!! There are no shortcuts to losing weight, every time you exercise  ensure you give it 100%

2) Nutrition - This is key if you are to lose weight. Ensure that not only are you eating the right food, at the right times but also be aware of your portion control. Losing weight is 80% nutrition and 20% working out.

3) Consistency -  Anyone can stick to working out and eating healthily for a day, two days or a week but you will need to ensure you are consistent to really see your body change.

Nothing will ever beat a lifestyle of healthy eating and regular exercise.  I can help you achieve your goals as a committed personal trainer who takes pride in helping people make these changes in their lives.
