What type of meal prep do you guys do? Do you guys take any supplements? What work outs do you do? What's the secret guys?

It's time for a change!

Answer

If you can afford to, I highly recommend finding a personal trainer! They can tailor a program for you, sort your diet, be your motivator and push you so you see the best results, but without damaging yourself. And you will be much less likely to quit! As it sounds like you are looking for a life style change.

If not, there is plenty you can do on your own. You just need to educate yourself abit, and be your own motivator.

First decide on only small changes at a time. So you can stick to them. To consistently do a little the right way, is way better than quitting and starting again.

Exercise is about 20% and food is about 80% in loosing weight. So no question that you will need to have a look at what you are actually eating. So get an app like "MyFitnessPal" and start tracking EVERYTHING you eat. Then you will know where to start tweaking your food. Where focus should be on making better choices, and eating the correct amount of calories for your size. And portion control! The goal is to make food choices that will keep you full so you are not hungry, but stay within your calorie limit. So fibre, protein etc. And make sure not to skip meals.

For exercise you don't need to half kill yourself to see results. For fat loss, moderate cardio a few times a week gives results. But the key is to add in strength training too. Greater muscle mass don't just make you look better, it makes you burn more calories too!

And find food/exercises you like! If you don't eat broccoli, then dont. If you don't like running, then don't! There are loads of options. And healthy food is healthy foods. And cardio is cardio in the big picture.

Loosing weight is both as simply as colonies in vs. Calories out. And then it isn't. Hope you find a way to get started! And there is no day like today I suppose!

Answer

The secret is to eat a little bit of everything. Don't cut out things from your diet. Get the MyFitnessPal app. You will log everything you eat there everyday day. It is very easy because you can scan barcodes and it will log it. The good thing in this app is that it gives you a calorie limit so you can have what you like but stick to the calories. The limit gets calculated by putting in your height weight and how much you wanna lose per week.

I would start with that and stick to it for 4 weeks. I would start the gym after the 4 weeks because by then you will have get used to eating better and you won't struggle with two things at the time.

Also remember to drink plenty of water and not starve yourself. All the best :) xxx
