#1 Follow The Healthy Food Pyramid & Build Muscles With A High Protein Intake

If you want to lose weight successfully, then you have to watch your diet. Going on a diet doesn't mean skipping your meals. Instead, it is about knowing what to eat and what to avoid. Go easy on the oil, fats, salt and sugar and make this your bible!

On the other hand, if you're naturally leaner than others with not much muscle mass, go for a high-protein diet such as meat, fish and eggs as this can help you build muscles, which would be useful once you bring in your exercise regime.

#2 Get Used To A Low-Sugar Diet!

Did you know? Sugar is a source of energy for us. If we consume too much sugar and do not 'work it out', it will be stored in our body and turn into fats! To prevent that from happening, go easy on the sugar. Pssst! No more 75% sugar level when you buy Koi please!

Check out these low-sugar snacks that Rizap tried from Chateraise~

Slowly reduce your sugar intake and your body will get used to it accordingly~ Trust us, this will be worth it! Not only will it help you lose weight, it can also help you get closer to your #flatstomach goals! #perseveranceiskey

#3 Focus On A Holistic Exercise Regime!

If you want to lose weight, you definitely have to exercise! By exercise it doesn't mean that you can train your core today, do cardio tomorrow and then do leg's day the day after.

According to Rizap, you have to stick to an exercise regime that works your whole body. The key is to burn as much fats as possible and at the same time, build muscles.

Here's what her exercise regime looks like:

Squats x 10 - 4 Reps
Push Ups x 10 - 4 Reps
Planking & Crunches x 10 - 3 Reps
Weightlifting x 20 - 4 Reps

#4 Document Your Weight Loss Journey!

While Rizap chose to document her journey on Instagram, it doesn't mean that you have to be like her; you can choose to do it on your mobile phone, a note book etc.

Write down what you ate for your three meals, your water intake, exercise regime, weight etc. Document your progress, motivate yourself and give yourself the extra push to reach your goals!
