Lately we’ve been concentrating on food (which is the most important part for fat loss), so today let’s concentrate on exercise. If you want a healthy, athletic appearance you have to work out. This will also reduce your chances for getting cellulite. And, you can eat more. Here’s a quick,  at-home workout for you to try today:

Do as many reps of each exercise as you can for 50 seconds, then rest 10 seconds. You need a timer for this. Download one from the app store of your choice. Do 3 rounds of the whole circuit. If you know math, you know this adds up to 15 minutes. The most important thing is DON’T STOP. If you are too tired, do an easier version of the exercise. You need to keep moving the whole time (except the 10 second rest).

1. Step-ups on a chair. Hold your hands over your head while you do this.  Bring hands down when you’re exhausted.
2. Push-ups. Do these on your knees when you’re exhausted
3. Burpees. Walk these when you’re exhausted
4. Dips on a chair. Bring feet closer in when you’re exhausted
5. V-ups. Do regular crunches when you’re exhausted

Today’s challenge will make you healthier as well! As great as it is for you to do an entire juice fast, I know that sometimes this isn’t a viable option. Either you can’t get access to juice, you can’t fight the hunger, or you just don’t want to.

Try replacing one of your meals with a veggie juice. If you don’t have time to make juice or you don’t have a juicer, go buy a juice! Many Whole Foods stores have juice bars. Or chances are there is a juice bar by you. I’m sure you can find one. If all else fails, go to Jamba Juice and get a pure carrot juice. Just MAKE SURE it is not the canned stuff, otherwise you miss out on all the nutrients.

I read somewhere that if you take 1 action per day toward achieving your goal, you will get where you want to be AT LEAST 2x faster with much less perceived effort.  Imagine that! If you were planning on losing 5 lbs next month, you can plan on losing at least 10!

In the spirit of this method, I will be posting a Daily Nutrition Challenge that you can follow every day, every other day, or whenever you feel fat. Obviously, the more often you follow it, the faster you will get skinnier!

Keep in mind, the goal of this challenge is to DROP FAT. It is extremely important to have a concrete goal. For instance, if you want to get healthier while dropping a few pounds the actions will be slightly different. On that note, let us commence….

Wait until you are truly hungry to eat all meals

Most people generally eat a lot more food than they need. As a result, fat is added to the body. Once a person realizes they need to lose weight, they change WHAT they are eating before changing HOW MUCH they are eating. This is wrong. The quantity of food you are eating is much more influential on your body fat than the quality of food. I’m not saying quality doesn’t matter, I’m just saying it takes 2nd place to quantity.

So today, don’t eat lunch because it’s “time” for lunch. Wait until you have true, real hunger before you eat.
