Great tips. Avoiding or reducing HFCS is also helpful.

Hi Jules,

Science would suggest doing the weights component first, but I find when people are time restricted if they do cardio last, they often shorten it. So keep doing what you’re doing is what I am trying to say…

Hi Amelia! Great advice.

I was just wondering – how important is the LSD portion of the workout? I try to maximise the intensity of my workout as I do it at lunchtime so I don’t have a great deal of time. I tend to do interval training on the treadmill and then weight training. Is this approximatley similar to the interval training then LSD or should I be changing my routine?

Hi Alice,

Yes you are right, you can eat more and still exercise more. However in my experience, people trying to lose weight are often eating more than normal anyway, so exercise balances that out.
You may want to use the metabolic calculator to estimate your basal metabolic rate and then determine your daily intake from there. Also try to eat more of the complex carbs, such as coloured vegetables rather than simple carbs such as pasta nd bread.

Hope that helps.

Hi Amelia, thanks for your tips – just wanted to pick up on your point that you shouldn’t eat more if you’re exercising more and you’re aiming to lose weight. While this makes sense, I do find that if I’m exercising heaps, I’m hungrier than normal. Wouldn’t it be possible to eat more and still have a bigger exercise output than food input?

Hi Tom,

Thats right, it all adds up. Some people cut fat right out so they can have dessert whereas others, like you say, have a smidgen here and there. I prefer to cut out as much as I can and then enjoy the occasional dessert.

Great post Amelia. Particularly agree with you on point 4. It’s so easy to have a little butter here, a bit of cheese there and a smidgen of mayonaisse with a salad…but then before you know it you’ve almost reached your daily fat intake.

Thanks online fitness health,

It’s not rocket science, is it! The more we can become educated about fat loss, the easier it will become. Keep that learning up!
