weight loss

it is considered safe and realistic to set a target weight loss of 2lb per week , to achieve this most people need to consume 500 calories less than their AMR (Active Metabolic Rate , soon you will be able to work out your AMR with the UK-FS AMR calculator available on this page in the coming months) . The next step is to decide how you are going to divide up your calorie quota .

For efficient weight loss it makes sense to consume the majority of your food earlier in the day when your metabolism is faster . As a general rule try not to eat anything after 7pm (the first few days you may struggle to sleep on an empty stomach , but you will adapt and that early morning flat stomach feeling is well worth the sacrifice) .

A 5 meal split is a good approach , 2 of them being snacks , spread evenly throughout the day to help regulate insulin release . The most common ratio of food types on this kind of diet would be 30-60% protein , 60-30% carbohydrate and 10% fats depending on the amount of weight loss required . UK Fitness Supplements are currently undertaking case studies on these ratios integrated with Protein and Vitamin supplementation , the results will be posted here in the coming months .

To further enhance weight loss It is always a good idea to implement a well balanced meal replacement formula , which can become your 2 snack type meals if required , or if you require something more convenient try our protein bars .Multi-Vitamins also play an important part when calorie intake is restricted .
