I've restarted my healthy eating plan this week. I'm calorie counting and keep a food diary, so I know how many calories and grams of fat I'm consuming per day. I'm sticking to between 1200 and 1400 calories per day. Generally knocking 500cals off your daily intake is enough to see weight loss. (The average woman, not looking to lose weight, will consume around 2000 calories per day).
I also plan to get back into the gym, doing a split routine weights programme, so I overload the muscles, this means increased, lean muscle fibre, will mean my body uses more fat as fuel. I'll also try to do 30 minutes of cardiovascular training 3-4 times per week.
Having done this plan before, I know if I stick to it, I will look lean and athletic in about 4 months time.
