Practical Guide to Weight Loss the Six Senses Way

We all want to lose a few pounds and look better than ever, but sometimes it just so difficult to achieve. Frustration and failure are easy to avoid if you have an effective and realistic plan of action. To help you reach your fat-fighting goal, Marteyne van Well, Spa Manager at Six Senses Spa Sharq Village in Qatar has developed a weight-loss guide to help you unlock the secret of getting the body you deserve.

Having a plan is the foundation of Six Senses Zighy Bay’s weight loss guide. According to Marteyne’s expert advice, your plan should start with an inspiring mission statement and end with a clear vision of where you want to be. Consisting of a series of milestones, your Six Senses plan is designed to push the body beyond its day-to-day activity and bring you ever closer to the shape you’ve always wanted. The Six Senses’ expert guide also explores six main food groups, like vegetables and fruits, explaining their essential goodness and how much they should feature in your diet.

When pulling together a fat-loss plan, Six Senses Zighy Bay offers the following essential tips to get the best results imaginable:

• Fat vs Weight: Think about body fat percentage and not body weight. A healthy body fat percentage is approximately 7-18% for males and 18-24% for females
• Calories count: There are 3500 calories for every pound of fat. To lose a pound of fat in a week, you need to lose 500 or more calories a day.
• A great combo:The most effective way of burning fat is combining weight-training 3-4 times/week and cardio exercise 3-5 times a week.
• Sleeping beauty: If you build more muscle you will increase your metabolism, and burn more calories during the day and while you are sleeping.
• Small is best: Try and eat 5-6 small meals each day instead of three large meal as it will help increase your metabolism.
• Hydration is key: Drinking at least 8-12 glasses of water per day will increase the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream, increasing the fat’s burning ability and overall energy output.
• Go nuts: Try eating nuts 30 minutes before a meal as it will actually decrease your food intake.
