How to Achieve Kung Fu Weight Loss

To kung fu is to do hard work or labor and to practice having aptitude in the particular skill. It's not like Kung Fu in martial arts, but more like studying to keep your weight in a right place. This is based on research and would fit with any diet plan that the doctor prescribes for you.

Steps

1. 1 Eat smaller portions. This helps your body burn more calories.
2. 2 Eat 5-6 meals per day. This is reputed to burn calories and jump start metabolism. No less than 3 meals though. That what causes your body to get into starvation mode.
3. 3 Eat different colors of fruits and vegetables and go on lean meats. Vegans don't eat meat but are healthier due to lack of LDL cholesterol but should be aware of vitamin deficiencies without animal products.
4. 4 Avoid fried foods and sweets. Eat only sparingly.
5. 5 Do martial arts (including mock sword fighting) and strength building to build muscle and increase fighting capabilities for 30 minutes minimum.  
6. 6Do running and aerobics for 30 minutes minimum most, if not each day, to lose weight
7. 7 Fast one day per week if you wish, any more then consult the doctor. It puts your body in starvation mode and eats your muscles as well as fat according to physiology of the body.
8. 8 Focus on the emotional and spiritual side of weight loss. Do you eat because you're depressed? Are you afraid to exercise due to being made fun of? Are you afraid to lose weight because of spiritual reason like Deity making you who you are as a punishment? To venture more into it, seek the counselor or a therapist for reasons why you have problems losing weight.
9. 9 Write down in the eating journal.
10. 10 Write down in the daily journal about weight loss.
11. 11 Drink tea. Even though there are studies that show little validity in green tea causing you to lose weight, pu-erh tea has been believed to lose weight and jump start your metabolism in China. Lapsang souchong calms you down if you have sensitive taste buds. Instead of soda for the day, drink barley tea, made with pure barley. Get these from your local Asian store.
12. 12 Start consulting with the dietitian. No, they're not only there to set the plan for you, they're here to help if you need it.
13. 13 Avoid fad diets online and offline. Only if you believe they will work will you be disappointed.
14. 14 Do meditation and Tai Chi. Studies show that stress causes a person to be hungry after the flight and fight response.
15. 15 Don't set unrealistic goals. Although losing weight to fit into misses' clothes is some of the women's goal, never set high goals. Say "I will lose about ten pounds or less per two weeks" instead of jumping the boat to become the replica of Barbie. Not only is it unhealthy but you will give up more easily with that thinking.
16. 16 Stay away from smoking. If you quit smoking, you will gain a few pounds but if you exercise enough those pounds will slide off quicker as long as you don't eat food when you're stressed.
17. 17 When you get down to the desirable weight and pant size, decrease exercising to 2 days a week and eat right. Any more than you become anorexic due to losing weight as the result of chemical imbalances that you induce into your brain.
