Top 50 Free Fat Loss Tips: All in One Place

When it comes to fat loss, I have never met a day to day person who is not completely confused by everything they watch and read on the subject.

I would always recommend people to find a coach who they trust, who achieves results and then follow the way they work.

Trainers who get people in amazing shape will all have a slightly different way of working. Some coaches will favour one style of training/ eating and others will not.

In many cases, this does not mean that either coach is right or wrong with their style of coaching and methods, providing what they do works for their clientèle.

However the day to day person who reads up on fat loss and takes in too much information from a variety of sources will often get extremely puzzled and your results will reflect this

I would hope to think that by reading this short article and following the work that is done by LEP Fitness, you see it as a valuable source of information that really does work. LEP Fitness endeavours to research and asses each and every method that has been learnt, to ensure your results continually improve week by week.

On that note, I thought I would pull together many of the tips which I have learned over the years and put them in 1 place for all to benefit.

5 BONUS FAT LOSS TIPS

Alongside the above one of the most important things to do when going on a fat loss journey is to:

#1 Enjoy the process – so many people focus on the end result. Remember to enjoy each day. Focus on winning the day, do this on repeat and results are guaranteed anyway.

#2 Select foods you enjoy – there is no point in following a keto diet all you life if it makes you miserable. By all means do a 28 day keto challenge if you wish, or do 2 months, but what happens after that? I’ve never met anybody who can stay on a set diet all their life, even bodybuilders and athletes need variety. If you would like 180 free LEP Fitness recipe’s to try then please contact me here – I will send them straight to your inbox.

#3 Focus on you – it’s easy to compare yourself to others on Instagram and to try and compete with your friends, but remember your fat loss journey is unique and special to you. Don’t waste another day looking at other people, focus on how you want to look and feel.

#4 Take time off – there is no harm in taking a break from dieting. Now i wouldn’t recommend going out on binging on rubbish – that is a sure way to undo all of your hard work. However on Birthdays and days like Xmas having a day of relaxed eating every now and then won’t do you any harm.

#5 Do the exercise you love –  there are many ways to burn fat, weight training, walking, hiring a personal trainer, fitness classes, virtual personal training, jogging, cycling, swimming, tennis, football, rugby, etc. Pick exercise that you enjoy doing.
