The number one resolution every January is fat loss. Loosing fat is a  HUGE industry.  Literally we spend BILLIONS of ££££ per year on trying to get rid of excess fat.

In our Diets section I covered briefly my personal views on diet, and the different types of diets that there are.  There is a massive range of diets out there to choose from. One reason is because there is more than just one way to loose fat.  In this section ill go over some methods I have used and liked.

Here goes the disclaimer again though - Remember to ALWAYS consult with your GP before starting any new diet or exercise  routine. Any information on this web site is my own opinion and not specific advice for any one.

   There are a million various types of diet out there. It seems every minute some one  thinks up another angle to make money from people trying to loose unwanted fat. Normally people sell you some thing. A pill, a potion, a points scoring system!!  You must remember that there are absolutely NO silver bullets. There is no majic when it comes to loosing fat.

  Although debates still rage on between nutritional experts about the very best way to eat and to loose fat, there are some simple rules that work and you can use but don't get caught up in marketing hype!

  Some simple rules  i like to stick to are listed below.

1) Drop refined, simple sugars - White bread, Pasta, cakes, sweets etc

2) Add LOTS of green veg

3) increase your protein

4) Increase your consumption of good fats - Olive oil, Fish oils (Omega 3's) some saturated fat - Egg yolk.

5) Use as many herbs and spices as you can

6) If you can. split your three big meals per day and split them into two meals each.

 Expending more claories that you consume is probably the most basic and understood method for loosing weight but its not the full story. Controlling blood sugar is a must. Refined sugars, spike insulin in the body and this is an easy way to store fat. not only that but if you take on board saturated fats with your refined sugars, you have allot of oxidative stress at a cellular level.

  To stop blood sugar from  spiking, eat only small amounts of carbs, even the so called good ones like brown rice or brown  pasta, and eat them with some form of fat and some protein.

 I like to eat along the lines of the zone diet. I don't like to 'Diet' as such. A Diet will only last for a period of time and we really need to change our eating habbits rather than 'Diet'. 

 To keep thing simple, Eat foods from the follwoing list for three weeks and see what happens to your body.

Eggs, Turkey, Chicken, Lean beef, Lean pork, Fish, Cottage cheese, Broccli, Cauliflower,Green Beens, Asparagus, Sprouts, Cabbage, Lettace, Cucumber, Celerey, Onion, olive oil, Butter, Coconut oil, Mac nut oil, peanut oil,  Fish oils.

 If you can stick to eating only those food items (with lots of herbs and spices)  After week two you should have one cheat meal of anything you like. After week three you can begine to add other food items into the diet ulness you are still very over weight.

 Supplement with a good full spectrum multi vit & min tab and you may also concider taking extra Zink, Selenium, Vitamins A,C,D,E  Vitamin B6&12

 Try not to fry foods  favouring grilling, boiling,broiling oven baking etc.  And don't forget to USE LOTS OF HERBS. Herbs contain many many constituents that help our digestive system, increase circulation and elimination of toxings and metabolic waste etc.  You may even find that you get a slight helping hand with thermogenises.

 I will put together and actual step by step guide if requested. Hope this helps a bit! Email me if you have any questions.
