FAQ: Although I’m training hard, I’m still not losing weight! What can you recommend?
A: One of the keys to losing weight (body fat) is to increase your resting metabolism. This is dictated by your muscle percentage (muscle tone). I use kettlebells to keep my metabolism fast, as it is a combination of resistance training and cardio (and this done in intervals). Note however: You need to know what you’re doing with kettlebells – I always recommend getting an internationally-certified coach so that you don’t hurt yourself. The results from training with kettlebells, in terms of overall fitness and getting lean, are impressive.
Back to your question, one needs a sensible, but challenging exercise programme, whilst keeping food portions conservative and healthy. Workload should be relatively high, but structured with sufficient recovery so as not to develop injuries. It’s important to eat clean 80% of the time. In addition, I personally restrict alcohol to avoid unnecessary fatigue/ acidity that comes from excessive intake: Acidity impacts on weight-loss, as well as recovery from training; and of course, alcohol adds fruitless kilojoules – which counteract hard and consistent effort.
