Slim Down for Summer

I just want to start by saying if you want to lose weight and keep it off then you should aim for 0.5-1kg per week. The key is for the weight to come off slow so it will stay off, the faster you lose it the faster it will come back on. With 10 weeks until Christmas your goal should be between 5-10kg max. I will do more on goal setting in another post but it is important to set a goal for your weight loss. Use the SMART principles when you do this and give yourself a reward that does not sabotage your weight loss efforts, like a new dress.

Meatless Monday

What? No Meat? If this is what you think when you see Meatless Monday, then you are probably not alone. Our society revolves around meat for all our meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I come from a personal training background and our education encourages a body building diet of 6 small meals with meat protein in all of them, so I can appreciate how odd the concept of no meat might be.
