Healthy Fat-Loss Tips:

• Drink 2-3 litres of water daily; essential for cell hydration and ultimate detoxification & excess fat elimination.

• ALWAYS eat breakfast and include protein such as eggs or whey protein powder to regulate blood sugar levels, maintain energy and boost metabolism.

• Eat vegetables at lunch and dinner to regulate metabolism and blood sugare levels while keeping that fat burning furnace on fire! Vegetables also provide nutrients and essential fibre which also helps satisfy the appetite.

• Eat 5-6 small meals per day to avoid getting hungry (or you'll end up with your hand in the cookie jar), and again regulate blood sugar levels. Include quality protein, fats & carbohydrates at each. The type of carbohydrates recommended will depend on time of day and exercise regime.

• Essential fatty acids (EFA's) are required daily to help encourage ultimate fat-loss; flax oil (tastes nice on salads & porridge or musli) & fish oil make excellent supplements while coconut one of the best for cooking. Extra virgin olive is also acceptable. There are many other benefits of EFA's such as nourishing the heart, brain and skin.

• Choose lean cuts of meat such as plain organic chicken, lean organic beef/mince and organic eggs. By choosing organic, you are avoiding the ingestion of antibiotics and hormones that are in regular foods(often the cheapest in the supermarkets unfortunately) and disrupt our hormone regulation which can cause many common irregularities and unwanted weight gain.

• AFTER 2pm: Avoid fruit, bread, rice, pasta, potato, pumpkin, corn, and any type of sugar or junk as there is no requirement for simple carbohydrates after this time unless you are an elite athlete or work nightshifts. The metabolism is highest in the morning then gradually slows throughout the day so it doesn't make sense to have the largest meal of the day in the evening. If you eat regularly and sufficiently in the day then you will be less likely to want to snack in the evening.

• Choose herbal teas as an alternative to regular coffee/tea. Any more than 2 coffees per day can be taxing on the liver and nervous system (aggravating stress levels). Green tea/dandelion/ginger/lemon are beneficial for the digestion and metabolism.

This is the tea that I use and recommend:
