Lose weight

Question
Hi. I don't have a big problem-I weight 61 kgs, or 135 pounds, and I am 5 4', and 28 years of age. I still feel heavy, and definitely look heavy when I wear form fitting clothes. Ideally, I wish to be 55 kgs at the very least, and I cant seem to get 6-7 kgs off me! I go to the gym about 3 times a week for an hour's worth of exercise on an average. Please devise a plan that can actually help me. Thank you so much

Answer
Well I can give you some general advice, but when I take on a client and make a plan for them, I sit down and talk to them about every part of their life- which is usually an 1.5 to 2 hour consultation before I set anything up. There are many aspects of who you are and what you are doing that I simply couldn't address, and it would be irresponsible of me as a professional to even pretend to do so.

That said, here is some general advice that may help.
1- Switch up your routine
  If you are used to doing lots of cardio, do some strength training   or vice-versa. Your body gets used to a repetitive routine and it actually stops being effective after a while.

2- Drink more water
  You've heard it before but dehydration can trick your body into sending hunger signals. Keeping properly hydrated has lots of other benefits too, like better skin and hair.

3- Snack!
  Steady blood sugar keeps cravings at bay and snacks are a great way to get and keep your blood sugar balanced. It also helps keep both your energy and metabolism high. Just make sure that you snack responsibly, too many calories is too many calories no matter what!

4- Push yourself
  If effective exercise was easy, we would all be really fit. I am not saying, "No Pain, No Gain" but I am saying "If you don't feel it, it probably isn't working." If you aren't really working to get through the last 10 minutes of your cardio or the last 3 reps of your strength workout, it probably isn't doing you much good.

I hope this helps, but if you want more specific info you can contact me through my website
