So the results are in. Im officially at 12 percent body fat. WOW what a shock and relief that all this hardwork and daily sacrafices to my diet and the gym are paying off! I am set to walk the stage at my first bikini competition April 14th in Culver City alongside my coach and Team Fox family :)
I am proof you can do whatever you put your mind to, can you believe I replaced 10lbs of fat with muscle in as little as 4 months? I still cant swipe this smile off my face.
How did I do it? Heres a few tips for anyone looking to blast fat fast. Now this is my list of tips of what worked for me. Everything works differently on everybody though so keep that in mind. I say this because everyone seems to have their own strong opinions on diet and exercise.
#1. Change your diet to a clean diet FIRST. THEN start counting calories, protein, fat and carbs but not until eating healthy becomes a habit.
#2 If you cant control overeating a certain food? simply eliminate it, its never good to have too much of anything even if its healthy. A little self disipline is exercised here.
#3 Keep your meals simple. One ingredient foods such as chicken, cauliflower, olive oil. Doritos have 43 ingredients for example.
#4 Sweat during your cardio. Constantly change the incline, speed, level, and equipment. Shock your body everytime.
#5 Do one minute sprints instead of long running.
#6 Get your heart rate up at least once EVERYDAY. 10 minutes here and there actually do add up in the end so get it moving! (splitting your workout into two different sessions works wonders, if you have time do cardio at night and weight training later in the evening)
#7 Pre package your food. Yeah it takes time but it keeps you from making wrong food choices during the day.
#8 Drink a cup of green tea with every meal! Boosts your metabolizim like crazy.
#9 Eat protein 30minutes to an hour after a workout, even if it was a light workout.
#10 Write down the exercises and number of sets you are planning to do BEFORE you go to the gym. It holds you accountable to finish what you wrote down and helps you aviod the confusion of all the equipment at the gym.
#11 Skip the random beer or glass of wine. I cant stress enough how alcohol makes it impossible to lose fat.
#12 Stay away from beans (hummus, green beans, edamame etc), legumes, peanuts and regular potatoes. They're toxic to our body :(
#13 Look at labels hard before you buy. Stay with items that have sugar contents lower than 6 grams per serving
#14 Juice and sports drinks add up! I only drink water, Id rather eat my nutrients.
#15 Save carbohydrates for before intense workouts. You dont need them unless your a triatholon runner. Look at labels I only eat 1-2 servings of complex carbs a day. about 50 grams of the 100 grams of carbs I eat per day. Boost up you fat intake to you burn your body fat for fuel instead.
(Note: Avocado, Coconut Oil, and Olive oil)
#16 Eat a couple cups of veggies with every meal. Its a good habit and helps take up a bulk of food to keep you full.
#17 No dairy. (Meaning: no cheese, no yougurt, no milk. no exceptions
#18 Do the workouts that you dread. Chances are you probablly need to work on that area, thats why its hard.
#19 No soy. Too much estrogen in the products and makes it difficult to lose fat.
#20 Hold yourself accountable! Take pictures. Set up a plan to email your food and training log to eachother everyday and stop rewarding yourself with food, you are not a dog! :))
Happy Tuesday everyone <3
