Will this work for you?

The plan to lose 3 stone works by eating exactly the right meals, or maybe replacing some with easy to make shakes or smoothies.

However everyone is individual and the best plan is one that has been designed to work for you.

5 Key Tips

The meal & exercise plan has been designed to help you get results, without making any other changes.

But in addition there are 5 key tips to losing 3 stone:

Set small ‘easy to achieve’ goals – so you see results and feel great.
Measure results – not only lbs but also inches, and ideally body fat
Let your friends help – so you keep on track and get support
Enjoy your diet – because losing 3 stone will take a few weeks, and the right diet will make all the difference.
Regular exercise – combine aerobic with muscle & shape building.

Taking them in turn:

Tip 1 – Set a Specific ‘easy to achieve’ Goal.

If you set yourself the goal of ‘I want to lose 3 stone‘ / or ‘lose weight‘ etc. it is too general and non-specific.

You will get much better results if you break it down into ‘specific’ smaller weight loss goals – but linked to a time target. For example 6 to 10 lbs in the first month will give you a real goal to go for.

Don’t worry to much about your overall target of losing 3 stone at this stage – get some success and achieved targets ‘under your belt’ first.

Tip 2 – Measure results but..

Measure yourself once a week at the same time. (early mornings is best, just after you get up)

If your target is to lose 3 stone this will take a bit of time – but the key is to focus on small, easy to achieve goals. (and achieving your goals will really help with motivation and feeling ‘good’)

Don’t forget that – when you use both a diet and an exercise plan you will not only lose weight, but also ‘build muscles’. (which will help your shape) Muscles are heavier than fat – so your scales might not tell the whole story.

That is why it’s so important to not only weigh yourself, you also need to measure the inches lost and ideally your body-fat percentage.

Tip 3 – Let your friends help.

It is ‘sooooo easy’ to get distracted and side-tracked.

That is why so many people start a diet plan on Monday and stop before the end of the week. It might be hard but get your friends to family to help – (or even better start your diet plan with a friend – you might need to lose 3 stone, how about them ?)

If people know what you are trying to achieve they will usually be very supportive. Why not make a note on your facebook page that you want to lose 3 stone or promise yourself that once a week you will send out a twitter message ?

Or why not join a ‘fitness class’ in your local gym or leisure centre ?

Tip 4 – Enjoy your diet plan.

Yes the cabbage soup diet or only water every other day might sound great but….

If you want to know how to lose 3 stone it’s important to realise it will be more of a marathon than a sprint…

You need to use a diet plan you enjoy (so you will stick at it, because consistency is key),
that will quickly help you get noticeable results (to help with motivation)
and also provides you with extra energy (to help with exercise)

That is why the shake diet system is so effective – because it’s so easy to follow – (as well as ticking all the boxed for the above key points).

The shake or smoothie system works by replacing 2 meals with a healthy shake, and you eat your main meal as normal (ideally a healthy balanced meal with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables)

But if you want to lose 3 stone the system will help you get results because it contains :

Low glycemic index ingredients – to help your energy levels
Extra protein – to help your muscles
Protein snacks – to help with those ‘in between meal’ moments.

Tip 5 – Regular Exercise.

Once you start exercise is not only fun but also addictive !

Yes it burns calories but the key is to help your muscles – raising your metabolic rate, so you get faster results.

5a – Start gently….

If you haven’t done much exercise for a while start gently – so you don’t injure yourself.

5b Combine Aerobic & Resistance…

Try to combine regular aerobic exercise (20 to 40 minutes each day) with strength training ( 30 minutes three times per week) to help your muscles.

For example why not ?….

Join an exercise class (steps, zumba…) once or twice per week
Or take up running, swimming…

The whole objective is to make the whole process as easy & enjoyable as possible.
