Step 1
Create a diet plan that you can stick to, and with foods you will enjoy. There is no point in creating a meal plan full of foods you hate, or won't eat. Ideally, you want to take in fewer calories than what you expend throughout the day in order to become lean.
-
Step 2
Stock your pantry and refrigerator with healthy and organic foods. You should also clear out unhealthy foods like chips and sodas so you won't be tempted to eat those instead of the healthy foods.
-
Step 3
Eat several small meals throughout the day, rather than just a few large meals three times a day. This will help keep your metabolism high, and also keep your stomach feeling more full, which will lead to less binging at large meals.
-
Step 4
Develop an exercise plan. Find several activities you enjoy doing and create a plan that includes a good mix of cardio workouts and weight training exercises. To maximize weight loss, you should try to do a cardio workout 5 to 7 days out of the week, and weight train 3 to 5 days of the week. Make sure to give your body a day to rest in between weight training days so the muscles have time to recover.
-
Step 5
Incorporate yoga or pilates into your workout plan. Holding many of the poses in yoga will help tone muscles, giving you the lean look you desire.
-
Step 6
Change your workout routine frequently so your body does not fall into a rut. This will help maximize the amount of weight you can lose in a set period of time.
