For years I struggled to lose fat, then I lost 16lbs in 90 days... Here are 10 simple tips that will save you from struggling for years like I did: For years I battled with my body image. I was trapped in a cycle of restrictive and binge eating. My weight went up and down. All I wanted was to feel in control of my eating habits and love my body. After years of research and experimentation, I finally cracked the code: 1. Weightlifting > Cardio Bunny I used to slave away on cardio machines at the gym. My body had no shape and I hated working out. Until I started lifting weights. Building muscle speeds up your metabolism. So you burn more energy throughout the day – perfect for fat loss. Lift weights 2-4 times a week. Prioritise compound movements. 2. Prioritise Protein and Fibre Protein is the building block of muscle and keeps you full. Eat protein with every meal. My go-to’s are tempeh, tofu, fish, dairy and protein powder. Fibre keeps you full so you eat less. It stabilises your blood sugar and mood too. My favourite sources of fibre: -Oats -Apples -Lentils -Berries -Avocados -Chickpeas -Flax seeds -Chia seeds -Black beans -Sweet potato 3. Practise Intermittent Fasting You’re overeating because you’re eating from dawn till dusk. Reducing your eating window helps to lower your food intake. Insulin decreases when you fast, turning you into a fat-burning machine. Try the 16/8 method (fast for 16 hours, eat for 8). 4. Cut back on booze I used to binge drink at university, heavily. I could never build any muscle or lose weight, I felt stuck and unhappy with my body. Alcohol sabotages your fat loss efforts: Alcohol is burned first as fuel, so excess food is stored as fat. Your inhibitions are lowered when you’re drunk…urging you to overeat (usually something greasy). It sabotages your sleep, causing imbalances in your hunger hormones. Limit your intake to 1-3 drinks a week. 5. Prioritise Nutrient Density Whole foods are full of nutrients and fibre which keep your body in balance. It gets the focus off dieting too. Weight loss becomes a side effect of eating whole foods, rather than the main focus. Ideal if you’ve been a yo yo dieter or counted calories for years. Prioritise: wholegrains, fruit, vegetables, lentils, fish, beans, seeds, nuts. 6. Move Like Your Ancestors You can’t sit all day and expect to be a fat-burning machine, get moving. Walk 10k+ steps per day: -Take 15-minute walks throughout the day -Park further away -Take the stairs 7. Eat High Volume You need to eat high-volume foods so that you feel full. When you feel full you eat less and you lose weight. -Ditch sugary yoghurt for Greek yoghurt and berries -Switch your rice for cauliflower rice -Eat the rainbow with every meal 8. Ladies, Eat and Train With Your Cycle Your metabolism is higher when you’re on your period. Don’t fight your raging appetite and risk bingeing. -Increase your food intake that week -Eat your ice cream guilt-free -Drop the weights or do something less intense: yoga or a walk 9. Master Patience You can’t look like a sexy goddess after 3 weeks of effort. Be realistic with yourself. Stop rushing it and embrace the journey. 10. Remember To Live You’re here to live, not to miss out in misery. Find balance: -Go for brunch with your gals at the weekend -Eat some waffles or pizza -Don’t go into fu*k it mode though And that’s a wrap! TLDR: How to lose fat: 1) Weightlifting > cardio bunny 2) Prioritise Protein and Fibre 3) Practise intermittent fasting 4) Cut back on booze 5) Prioritise nutrient density 6) Move like your ancestors 7) Eat high volume 8) Master patience 9) Ladies, eat and train with your cycle 10) Remember to live P.S. I’m looking for 1 lovely lady who wants to: -Shred 5-15lbs of body fat -Build a sexy hourglass figure -Improve her relationship with food In the next 90 days completely FREE of charge.

Last night my dad said to me: Surely you don't want your legs any bigger it's not feminine. I looked him in the eye and said: IAN, THIS IS THE NARRATIVE I AM TRYING TO CHANGE. (Speechless). Oh, so you should then. To all the Ian's of the world... Women can be feminine AND strong. Ladies... Ignore the Ian's and go and smash your leg day.

A few days of overeating over Christmas won't sabotage your goals. Enjoy the food. Cherish your family. Count your blessings.

If I let my 10 minute daily meditation slip I start to lose peace within myself. 10 minutes doesn't seem like a lot... But it's all you need. Can you find 10 minutes in your day?

Don't think about a white bear. What did you do? You thought about a white bear. If you ban your favourite foods from your diet... You will think about them and crave them. Give yourself permission to eat anything. (Not permission to eat everything).

Reduce your caffeine intake if you have anxiety. Caffeine raises cortisol, your stress hormone. It raises adrenaline too, your other stress hormone. If you have anxiety your body is already in a state of fight or flight. Don’t make it worse for yourself.

Journaling through your thoughts, worries and fears isn’t pretty. But keeping it locked away in your head… that gets ugly. Let it all out.

If you can work for someone else for 8 hours a day you can work on your body for 1 hour too.
