The fitness industry would love to sell you a detox tea. Fat loss that lasts comes down to a few basics, done consistently.
- Eat a little less, not a crash diet. Easier to stick to, and you keep more muscle.
- Protein at every meal. Keeps you fuller and protects muscle.1
- Lift weights. Tells your body to keep muscle while the fat comes off.2
- Move every day. Walking and stairs add up.
- Sleep. Too little makes hunger harder to manage and means less of what you lose is fat.3
- Eat out without the guilt. Covent Garden is full of great restaurants. Pick a protein-led main and enjoy it.
- Watch the trend. Daily weight swings with water and salt, so judge it over weeks.
Get these right, keep them up, and the fat comes off steadily and stays off.
Fat loss that sticks.
One-to-one at Fitness First on the Strand, Covent Garden.
