My Ten Rules For A New You

1. Start today. I know it is never a good time to start but the bikini season is upon us and there is no time like the present. So grab that motivation and start with me now. Today or maybe tomorrow - I'll allow you one day to get prepared for a new, hotter version of you! Have one cheat meal a week and be good the rest of the time - we can do this girls! Remember nothing tastes as good as being thin (FIT!) feels.
2. No gyms in sight? Not got the money for the gym? Haven't any time or don’t have one nearby? Or just don’t want to be stared at by guys or feel intimidated/insecure about working out in front of people - then here is the best bit! We don’t need the gym, we can use home equipment and our own body weight to achieve these results. No pricey machinery, just good old fashioned working out! Forget the new crazes, they are for people who follow the trends. There is no ‘easy way’ of getting the body you want, so don’t believe the hype. You are going to sweat and it is going to hurt, but it will be done in the comfort of your own home if you wish.
3. No one is perfect! If you don’t find time to work out one day don’t punish yourself or if you slip up and eat something you shouldn’t, you are only human and no one is perfect. Just be good 90% of the time and it will be sustainable. The second you omit something from your diet you will want it even more. Love chocolate? Then buy those miniature bars you get in selection boxes and have one a day, it won’t make a difference trust me. Just stop at one! Just look at Demi Moore - she says she eats nothing but wheatgrass and I don't think I've ever seen her crack a smile! Same goes for Posh Spice. Life without good food is boring!
4. Find something that motivates you. Whether it is an event to look good for, a photoshoot, a friends wedding, a dress you want to buy, to annoy an ex (this one is most common in girls!). Whatever your motivation, seize it and use it to help you achieve results. My motivation is wanting to get back in my size 10 clothes and wanting to look great for my man. 
5. Do NOT be put off by others. Don’t be told you cannot achieve anything. If you are then use it to work harder to prove them wrong. Don’t take food offered to be polite at dinners, parties, even at your parents house, politely say no thank you, you are on a diet. If they say 'Oh go on' then be firm and show that you are more disciplined than they are. The magic word here is 'no' and it is one word which can make a big difference in how much weight you can lose!
6. Decide your goals now. Do you want to lose weight, drop a dress size, tone up, or just get fit? Don’t expect to change one thing - we are focusing on the whole package - it is physically impossible to lose fat from just one area. You will lose it from all over your body you cannot specify where you want to lose it from. However what we can do is tone certain areas up using different exercises. What it will help us determine is what and how much to eat. For example if you don't want to lose weight and just want to tone up or get healthier you'll have a similar calorie intake as you do now but with more nutrituon from Herbalife. If you want to lose weight, we will cut your calories down or have you working out more. It's all about the food maths.
7. Don’t know where to start? Don’t worry. My customers will recieve a free E-Book featuring training schedules and diets to start you off. Make sure you keep a record and take before pictures so you can monitor your progress.
8. Don’t watch your weight. As when building muscle you may go up a few pounds as it weighs much more than fat. Instead why not take measurements of your hips, waist, thighs etc and keep a record or judge by taking pictures and what you see in the mirror! I like measuring inches to monitor progress, and taking pictures on my phone! 
9. Don’t give up. Remember why you are doing this, and if you really don’t feel like exercising then just do a little bit. I have learned that we are often in conflict with our unconscious mind - the ‘ID’ The ID acts according to the ”pleasure principle” seeking to avoid pain or unpleasure and sometimes the conscious mind cannot control it. By offering a tiny bit of an action is a good way to get past the unconscious feelings of not wanting to do something or offer yourself a reward instead! This has also been proven to work in fitness. So say to yourself ”I’ll just do 5 minutes of sit ups instead” as an easy way. Don’t set goals of doing any more and guaranteed you’ll want to push yourself just a little bit further once you have started! The feeling of slacking is an awful one, so just do a tiny bit and praise yourself for doing any at all. Anything is better than nothing we all have bad days in fitness.
10. Ignore the hype. Don’t look for easy ways out and quick fixes. Mud wraps will not lose inches, diet pills will only ruin your stomach, water retention tablets will mess with your body. You need hydration. Your body is made up of cells which need water to metabolise fats and what you eat so you will only put on weight with these quick fixes. Your body weight is half water - so why strip it of what you need to survive. Drinking iced water won’t burn more calories (maybe a few but not enough to make a difference) It doesn’t matter when you eat. It is what you eat in a 24 hour period not when you eat it. Eat carbs after 6pm it doesn’t matter this is a myth. 

Don’t try fad diets that make you omit any food groups. Atkins will make you lose weight but will damage your organs due to the high fat content in your meals.Your body needs the basic food groups for a reason and needs a balance. Do just drink water, water water! I fill a 2 litre bottle with water (if you are not keen on just water add a little bit of juice) and ensure I’ve drank it all throughout the day. Get used to peeing a lot it shows you are well hydrated. Water is ESSENTIAL in weight loss and if exercising you need even more!
