Do not starve your self(it never works, although that’s the first thought that crosses anyone’s mind when thinking to lose weight)Eating more frequently, and in small servings, can prevent over-eating. This will also increase your metabolism and make calories burn faster.Avoid too much sugar.Plan your meals around lots of fruits and vegetables, some bread, rice or pasta for that carbo fix that you need, plus lean meat and protein rich-foods. Sweets, sodas and pastries should be once-in-a-while indulgences only.
Here’s some other quick tips for you:
* Make a delicious low fat mayonnaise by combining one teaspoon of Dijon mustard or satay sauce with a low fat yogurt.
* Add alfalfa or mung beans to salad to get extra iron.
* Use chicken stock when stir-frying. This will cut down on hidden fat.
* Make pasta a fast food choice – preparing a pasta meal or salad will only take 10-12 minutes.
* Remove fat by dropping ice cubes into the baking tray. Fat will stick to the ice cubes.
If you have started losing weight, just remember it’s a question of will. Keep doing what your’re doing, stay away from junk food and sodas, and you will feel more healthier and alive than never before.
Bodybuilding.com says this about the kettlebell:
“If your goals are strictly size-based, kettlebell workouts probably aren’t meant for you. Kettlebells work amazingly in terms of core strength, stability, explosiveness, compound movement, and raw strength. The major kettlebell lifts usually require a large movement through the body from the ground and ending the kettlebell above one’s head, or at shoulder height.
While going through these motions you notice how tense your core gets because of the effort it is putting into carrying the kettlebell. Since using a kettlebell is going to require movement through many muscle groups, it is going to do so much more in terms of strength in comparison to size. You can notice after training with them that your overall explosiveness is greater as well as joint strength and impact resistance.
Endurance is also a big factor for athletes, and I’ve personally noticed, and so have others, that muscular endurance gets much better while using kettlebells.”
And again:
“As with all “different” forms of training, you always get that edge that you’re training differently than the next guy. You’ll get the added benefits of explosiveness and raw strength while that other guy is busy getting big. For athletes and especially Olympic competitors, kettlebells can work wonders.
As much as we all **** to admit it, no matter what our primary goal is when we are training, we always have that piece of us wanting to get big. As more of an impact resistance style training, the kettlebell’s explosive movements may not offer much in terms of size, but with strength, size will come, and with a kettlebell, strength will come.”
