How to Properly Plan A Successful Weight Loss.: Get your household involved, throw away the garbage, no sugar soda, meal planning FTW, set goals, how are you going to lose weight, how many calories, how do I make a meal plan, finding an exercise plan.

How Do I Plan My Diet?

  • However many calories should I eat?
  • What diet should I use?
    • There are many diets out there. You can read my reviews here:
  • Draw up a meal plan based on that diet and the amount of calories you need
  • Meal Prep 101:
    • Outline your entire week of meals for you and your family on Sunday
    • Go Shopping on Sunday
    • Plan crock pot meals to make things easier for you a few days
    • Make your breakfasts easier with Level-1! Out of 200 people that we train, I’d say that most use meal replacement shakes from 1st Phorm to supplement unhealthy meals. I use Level-1 Protein for breakfast. It is 140 calories, full of protein, low carb, low fat. Mixes instantly and tastes amazing. Use link below for free shipping. You put it in a shaker, shake and go.
    • Think smarter not harder:
      • Chicken Breast is $1.99 a pound at the butcher @ Kroger. Salads are cheap and easy to make. Combine for great lunches.

How Do I Plan My Workouts?

  • What is my goal?
    • Most workouts are either cardio, workout, or both.
    • The best is to do both. Cardio burns fat, while working out your muscles giving your body a good “Sexy Base”.
  • Only 15-20 minutes of cardio is needed 3-5 days per week to lose weight
    • I always suggest sprinting, or going as fast as you can for 30 seconds then walking/jogging for 5 minutes, then repeating for the rest of the 15/20 minutes.
  • Work out your muscles 3-5 days per week for 20-40 minutes per day is optimal
    • There are various workouts for your muscles
      • You can try full body workouts
      • You can try workout splits where you workout certain body parts per day
      • I am a bigger fan of workout splits
  • Where can I find some good workouts?

Good Luck!
