Need weight advice? Just ask.

This blog isn't about me. It's about YOU. Over the past couple of months I've been answering my followers over countless emails, inbox's and even tweets on matters of weight advice. Alot of people have asked me to do this, so I've decided to create this page for everyone out there struggling with their weight. Whatever questions you have, leave them with me and I'll be sure to answer them as best as I can and honestly what I would do if I was in your position. Feel free to leave your questions anonymously. Disclaimer: I'm a med student, but I'm not a psychiatrist. I have no formal counselling training. I also give advice on my own experience, I lost 15kg recently over 2 months. Feel free to go anon, every question will be posted if not specifically asked in the message. I will also post up some articles, photos etc for inspiration for weight loss and feeling good about yourself. :)

Anonymous: I want to get a bikini body for summer, do you think it's possible to lose stomach, thigh, and arm fat in around 40 days? How? Also any exercises you would suggest for bum, tummy, arms & legs? Thanks x

Again my lovely, it depends on how much you weigh and what you are eating. If your diet is appropriate then you will of course lose weight eventually from all of your body, where fat will be lost first is not up to you to decide, your own body makes that decision, but cardio workout, a good run, interval training, skipping, high intensity dance sessions - all cardio will help target all of those parts. Also on the side I would suggest doing 5-10 minutes of toning a couple of days a week to help aswell.

It depends mainly on your motives, what you are trying to achieve (gaining, maintaining, losing weight) and your BMI.

Anonymous: hi I don't mean to be annoying but a couple of posts ago you answered someone a perfectly good answer based on how they should lose weight, except you said 3500 calories = a stone = 14 pounds, when 3500 only equals a pound I'm pretty sure? probably an accident just thought I should say something

Yes, complete mistake, I got stone and pound the wrong way round. Silly me! Thank you for notifying me lovely anon :)

claire-works-out: my mom doesn't take me seriously when i say that i'm trying to eat healthy. she thinks that it's just a phase. she says that i don't need to try to lose weight. but i want to get rid of fat and gain some muscle.. not really lose weight. like what can i do to really get her to understand that i want to do this? thanks so much! :)

I went through the exact same thing, not just my mum but my friends too so it was pretty difficult being dragged back down constantly but I think the main thing is you constantly have to remind yourself you are doing it to better yourself and be more happy with your own body, it’s your body not hers. There is so much you can try to say to make her understand but once you get to your goal trust me that’s the best feeling, to be able to say to ones who said you couldn’t or you shouldn’t that you did and you’re proud of it. Good luck!

Anonymous: I want to start kung fu. Do you think that this can help me to lose weight and make my muscles pretty?

It definitely would if you have a healthy diet on the side. Remember the key to lose weight it based around 70% on your intake and only 30% on your exercise.

If you’re looking to lose weight then cardio workouts if you are just wanting to tone try exercises targeting the abdominal area and tummy/stomach.

Anonymous: HOW DID YOU LOST 15 KG IN 2 MONTHS ? It's amazing, really. I really want to lose like 15 kg too. I'm 1.67 cm and 70 kg. Do you think I can lose 15 kg in two months? Tell me, really. How did you do it? I really need to know! Thankssss (:

There is no magic behind it trust me.

The first few days/week is the hardest because your motivation is the lowest, I did find myself fighting with myself, its a mental journey aswell as a physical one but once those results slowly started to show, it is the biggest motivation.

Skipping and interval training were my best friends, also your diet is so key. The right foods are absolutely necessary!

2- Choose skin friendly foods.

3- Choose foods filled with the vitamins and minerals.

4- Cardio!
