5 Rules for Weight Loss

Don’t cheat on your diet!
Be consistent. What’s the point of going to the gym and eating clean all week if you party over the weekend, drink a lot of alcohol and eat junk? You will never move closer to your weight loss goals.
Nutrition is key. Avoid simple carbohydrates like fruit and stick to complex carbohydrates like brown rice, oatmeal and quinoa because it gives you that “full” feeling longer. Coffee is a good fat burner because it has caffeine in it but only drink it black. Adding cream and sugar just adds empty calories. Stay away from dairy.
Cardio. Do cardio 6 days per week to keep your metabolism running fast. I like the stepper best because it burns more fat and gives better conditioning for your legs and glutes. Here is an interval technique I recommend:
4 minutes at level 7 then 1 minute at level 11-12 for speed. Repeat this for 30-45 minutes. This technique helps burn more fat faster while keeping your lean muscle mass on.
