The Beginners Guide To Losing Body Fat

1. Create a calorie deficit.

To lose body fat you will need to be in a calorie deficit, this means consuming fewer calories for the amount you move. 

I recommend that you track your calories for at least a couple of weeks to get an understanding of how much you need to be consuming daily, this can be done through an app called “My Fitness Pal”.

2. Consume a source of protein with each meal.

Consuming enough protein in your diet may promote satiety, making you feel fuller for longer. 

This will help you to manage your body weight.

Consuming enough protein will also help with building / retaining muscle.

3. Hit a water goal.

Aim to drink at least 2 - 3 litres per day, staying hydrated is a must.

I’d recommend using a water bottle with time markings to ensure you stay on track throughout your day.

4. Hit a daily step goal.

Tracking steps is a great way to see how much you move on a daily basis.

5. Get enough sleep.

Get 7+ hours of sleep per night. 

Getting enough sleep will help increase your performance in the gym and overall physical activity.

Poor sleep can also increase your appetite.
