What it Takes to Get Results

On June 7^th I held a Fat Loss Seminar at The Bankside Health Club in London, read what happened to one client who attended and what action she took afterwards.

“Since attending Gregg's "7 Steps to Fat Loss and Nutrition Seminar" it's educated me more about what types of thing I'm putting into my body and how this can have an affect on me, it really gave me the kick up the backside I needed!

I noted down all the 7 steps and together with my weight training programme I set about sticking to this guide religiously. I now only drink water and aim to consume nearly 3 litres a day. I'm still a little way off this but I've noted how much more hydrated I feel when drinking water as apposed to the odd lucozade sport drink. It worried me to think of all the aspartame that was in this drink. Which is also another reason why I've stopped having chewing gum.

I also used to have a couple of bowls of cereal at the weekends as  I'd often not prepared any other breakfast, I've now stopped this completely and as I can often be in a rush and don't have time to prepare anything I just eat smoked salmon.

Most of the food I buy now tends to be organic where possible. I've started to have more stir fry's so I can have broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage/kale so I help improve my digestive system. I now also eat around 7 times a day to help me burn fat easily and keep my insulin levels steady, I'm finding I'm eating a lot of nuts as my snacks which I really enjoy.

I try to eat on variety a day so I'll have Almonds on one day and Brazil nuts the next etc. I also tend to eat more in the morning and then the portion sizes reduce during the day. I'm continuing to take omega 3 fish oils and do this regularly with each meal so I split up the amount I need to consume throughout the day. I'm getting better at getting into the habit of getting regular sleep, I'm averaging about 7 hours a night and I will continue to improve upon so I can get at least up to 8 every night as a minimum.

I suppose the first couple of days were the hardest in terms of having social commitments which meant I had to be really organised with my food preparation and times I was going to the gym. I've found that by training first thing in the morning is really working for me. I've now got into the habit of being in a regular routine not only with my training but also with my food. I make sure I prepare most of my food on a Sunday and if it's something like home made soup, I will freeze the rest so it will last me the rest of the week. I will also have quick foods I can grab like scrambled eggs and salmon so this will stop me from going out and buying food I shouldn't.

I'm having no carbohydrates in the form of potatoes, pasta, bread etc and also reduced my alcohol intake as these 2 factors I've now noticed were having a significant impact on me and I can now see the difference. As long as I'm prepared now with the food I should be eating, I'm finding it really easy to stick to. It's all about being in a routine and preparation is the key for the food side of things. Only I can achieve the results I want and I need to make sure I put in the hard work to be able to do this. I love the fact I've got more energy and I love being more healthy, I really enjoy my workouts which is why I've been getting the results I want.

Gregg has been absolutely instrumental in me achieving excellence results so far. I've been able to drop from 24.8% to 18% in just 5 weeks and only have 3% to go to reach my goal of 15%. I've gone from a bodyweight of 57kg to 51kg and am now seeing the benefits of my hard work.”
