STOP!

Just stumbled across several blogs of women desperate to lose weight and doing ALL the wrong things to try to achieve their goals.

I have something to say about this.

There are some hard and fast facts that need to be acknowledged.

First: its ALL about nutrition.  ALL!

You are never, ever in a million years going to burn enough calories on the cross trainer, treadmill or bike to continue eating as you are and lose weight.  Fact.

Secondly: Get off the cardio.  Now.

I repeat: you are never, ever in a million years going to burn enough calories on the cross trainer, treadmill or bike to continue eating as you are and lose weight.  Fact.

So what do you need to do?

You need to retrain, re-educate and re-boot yourself.  This is SO much easier than it sounds and it never, ever involves dieting, going hungry, feeling guilty or counting points or calories.

You need to take back the control yourself and you do this by:

Taking control of your nutrition.  You cannot continue eating the same things you have always eaten and expect a change.

Getting off the cardio and lifting weights.

You are NEVER going to bulk up as a woman unless you eat A LOT of protein and train hard every day for hours.  Literally.  If you feel you are not getting longer, leaner muscles from doing weights, then you arent lifting heavy enough and you are still eating wrong. Fact.

So

• Eat clean to get lean!
• Get off the cross trainers - they will do you NO favours!
• And pick up some weights!

It really is that simple -
