5 Ways to Reduce Body Fat and eat more Mindfully

You probably know a lot more than you think about eating healthy, but there are so many mixed messaged it gets hard to filter out the truth. We have given you 5 simple ways to reduce body fat below that we hope will make things a little clearer.

1. Eat quality protein at every meal

Choose grass fed meats, organic eggs, oily fish or legumes

to have with your meals. Oily fish are good sources of omega

3, an essential fatty acid that is needed for brain health, eye

health and its anti inflammatory properties. Eat oily fish like wild

salmon, sardines,anchovies and mackerel 2-3 times per week.

2. Add 2-3 Servings of leafy greens per day

Leafy greens are packed with fibre which will help you stay full

for longer. Mix them into smoothies, juices, soups, stews or

sauces. Try to eat a variety of these vegetables through the

week for their many health benefits.

3. Don’t fear fat

Healthy fats from avocadoes, nuts, seeds, oily fish, leafy greens,

olives, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil/milk are a great way to

sustain energy levels through the day. Low fat products often

contain sweeteners and sugars which will result in your body

holding onto fat, so swapping to those products are not a good

idea for fat loss.

4. Stay hydrated and cut back on liquid sugars

It’s important to stay hydrated, aim for 1-2 litres of filtered water per day. It’s also a great idea to cut back on liquid sugars found in fizzy drinks, fruit juices, energy drink and alcohol. If fat loss is your goal then controlling your intake of sugar is the best place

to start.

5. Listen to your body

If you have cravings, feel tired and hungry after you eat then this is a good indication that you are not in balance with your body. When you get the right balance for your unique needs you will begin to feel full for longer and see the inches melt away.
