Really effective weight loss doesn’t have to be a struggle. In fact it can be rather easy when you know it’s hidden secrets.

1st why would you want to take tips from a fitness & bodybuilding coach?

Well, when a Miss Fitness winner or a Body Builder walk on stage and compete do they look fat to you?  Of course not, they are some of the leanest people on the planet!  So their coach, the guy who got them into that kind of shape might just be the person to get some weight loss tips from.

Now before we begin with the top 5 tips let’s crush one common mistake.   Many people believe they can’t use my  tips and tactics because they don’t  want to look like one of those people.They just want to look great.
That would be like saying you’re a Golf enthusiast but you wouldn’t want to take free Golf tips from Tiger Woods because you don’t play in the PGA.

Trust me there is no need to worry. You will never look like a professional Body Builder without years of unrelenting dedication, lot’s of steroids and way too many protein shakes. Whether you want to be a professional at something or not, always learn from the best.Now after getting that off my chest, with further delay here are the Top 5 weight loss Tips as promised.

1. Never go on a diet! When you hear a body builder of fitness competitor say ” I’m on my diet” they’re not using the word the same way you are. The ones who are successful at their sport eat very clean year round. They almost never if ever eat any junk. Then when they are “on their diet” they make a few simple weight loss  adjustments and the fat begins to melt off.
You see, a “diet” is something you go “on” to and get “off” of. This doesn’t create long term success and usually only leads to failure. Instead, concentrate on clean eating all year long. Then use only little tiny, painless adjustments to keep making consistent progress month by month.

2. Yes at the close of the 1st tip I said “month by month”.  And guess what, I meant every word. Chances are you didn’t put on all that weight you now want to lose in 30 days or less, am I right? So why would you expect that you could safely take it off in just 30 days despite what all diet pill pushers say. Think of it this way, if it took you  5 or 10 years to put it on, it may take 6 months or a year to safely take it off again.

3. you really must eat more not less. The meaning of this is that you must consume much more food more volume, but fewer calories overall. The simplest way to do this is each time you eat make 50% of your meal veggies.So, if you look at your plate 50% should be vegetables. 30% of what you see is are high quality protein sources such as chicken, beef and fish. Then the remaining 20% is complex carbohydrates like brown rice or yams not pasta and bread.

4. You need to eat all the time. This is to say that you need to eat no less than 5 or 6 small meals per day. This will help satisfy your hunger, control insulin and supply your body with a constant steady flow of nutrients.

5. Follow the weight loss hydration equation. You absolutely need to drink enough water to stay properly hydrated and flush out all the bad toxins you need to get rid of each day. Personally I drink a gallon a day. But the one easy rule is; if you’re thirsty your body just told you that you are already dehydrated. The trick is to continually sip water all day and never actually become thirsty.

One extra Free Bonus Tip.
If you’re driving down the road and get a flat tire, don’t get out of the car and shoot the other 3 tires. In other words, if you’re doing really well with your weight loss plan and have a piece of cake at a birthday party don’t throw up your hands and say the heck with it and go eat 2 pints of ice cream.  Admit you splurged, even enjoy the fact that you splurged, but for Heaven’s sake get back in the car and get back on the road to your weight loss success.
