Fat Loss Checklist
The Holidays can be a tough time on your waistline. While the research shows that the average person reaches their peak weight around Christmas and New Year’s, you can combat this by having a good strategy in place.There’s nothing like a good checklist to reduce a complex task to a series of manageable steps. So here’s my checklist to ensure fat loss
- Learn to differentiate a good meal from a bad meal, and eat accordingly.
- Do a thorough assessment: This includes body fat, a before picture, a movement screen, daily caloric needs estimation, 7 day meal plan, needs analysis, risk analysis, and goal determination.
- Perform resistance training regularly (3x/week for most)
- Perform interval training regularly (3x/week for most)
- Perform corrective exercises to reduce injury risk (3-7x/week)
- Track your compliance with your nutrition and exercise plan on a weekly basis. 100% compliance with exercise and 90% compliance with nutrition will result in fat loss.
- Hold yourself accountable, and enlist the help of others to hold you to your plan. Tracking your results is a must by re-assessing (see #2)
- Be honest with yourself: Are you working hard enough? Do you really know what you are doing? Are you frequently looking for excuses? Are you looking for the non-existent “quick and easy” solution?
- Avoid negative thoughts and influences.
- Recover properly: Get 7-9 hours of quality sleep on a regular basis and learn stress management.
I have never come across or heard of someone who followed this check-list and failed to reach their fat loss goals.
