Top 30 Ways Nigerians Lose Belly Fat and Weight in Nigeria & Transform Their Bodies

In my 10 years in the fitness industry and helping hundreds of clients transform their bodies, I’ve settled into some transformation principles that have helped everyone from the stay at home mom to the high performing CEO of a top performing company.

Here are my Top 30 body transformation tips. My recommendation is to take the ones that resonate with you the most and discard what you don’t deem necessary. 

Best way to use this is to PRINT out this page, choose one or two principles to apply to your life every week.  Making one small improvement every single week leads to 30 improvements for the year.

Imagine what your life would look like with 30 awesome improvements.  It would be life changing.  So are you ready?  Let’s go. 

1. Use Metabolic Resistance Training as your main workout at least 3x a week.

2. Challenge yourself by using heavy weights that you can do with perfect form

3. Build your workouts around the big 5 (Squat, Deadlift, Bench Press, Pull Ups and Military presses)

4. Build your workouts around weights being the primary mode of working with cardio being secondary.

5. Do the ultimate fat loss cardio program by doing 10-12 minutes of interval training followed by a nice 20 minute jog.

The interval training releases free fatty acids into your body while the long cardio run burns them off.  If you want an amazing cardio program for fat loss, you can use myTotal Fat Loss Plan program here

6. Change up everything in your workouts from the tempo you do the exercises to the exercises themselves to the sets, reps…everything. The more inefficient we make your body during the workouts the more it will be challenged to deal with the new stress.

7. Try working out in a fasted state. Again, to know how to utilize fasting for weight loss, let my 25-Day Fast Weight Loss Diet program help you with that here

8. GRIP your weights like they owe you money. The grip is super important because it keeps your shoulder capsule locked in thus avoiding injury. When doing any exercise make sure you grip as hard as you can. Do this and feel the difference it makes for your body.

9. When training save your joints by stopping one rep before failure 95% of the time.

10. Use Mobility Warm Ups before each training session

11. Reduce the size of the meals you eat at night or in the evenings as our body energy reserves are already full at that time. Any excess results in weight gain or belly fat

12. Drink a litre of water first thing in the morning. Bonus points for putting a slice of lemon for detox and alkalizing effects

13. Replace all caloric drinks with water while you are at it.

14. Get yourself under a regular eating schedule and train your hunger like a dog

15. If it jives with you then skip your breakfast. To see how to utilize fasting or skipping breakfast for weight loss, click here 

16. Keep alcohol intake to a couple drinks a week. You cannot change your body if you’re binging on alcohol every single week. You just can’t. 

17. If you intend on drinking on a particular day then minimize the damage better by keeping your diet as low fat as possible.

18. Eat fat burning Nigerian meals, NOT fat storing ones. For examples of a fat burning meal and recipe, click here

19. Get rid of all of the toxic people in your life.  ’Nuff said.

20. Use the acronym #NFE in your life. NFE means “No Freaking Excuses”. If you want to put just any word in the middle then by all means go ahead.

Sure you’re a little tired. Sure you have 3 kids and work a 9 to 5 job. But I’m sure you can find someone on this world who has the same situation as you do that is achieving the goals you want to achieve. If you want something bad enough in life stop making excuses and start doing something about it.

 21. Eat high fat high protein breakfasts for greater satiety and more energy. I talk a great deal about fat burning foods here

22. Surround yourself with people who are focused on achieving the same goal you are.You are the average of the 5 people you hang around the most. Choose them wisely.

23. Love your body. No seriously …LOVE your body. Your results will be in direct reflection to how much you love your own blessed body.

24. Celebrate the small successes. You don’t realize it but you’re getting better every single day. Start celebrating each and every little (or big) success in your life.

25. Learn from your failure. Failure is not final. Neither is success. Learn from both and realize that nothing is ever final unless you make it so. “Don’t let your successes go to your head & don’t let your failures go to your heart.” ~ Will Smith

26. Own yourself and your results. Take responsibility for everything that has happened thus far in life and take total 100% responsibility. Meaning, you look the way you are because you caused it. Now DO something about it. 

27. If you are up to it then do a 24 hour fast once a week. The benefits of fasting are too much to put into this blog post. Do yourself a favour and get the 25-Day Fast Weight Loss Diet program.

28. There is no “secret” or “diet pill” to transforming your body. It takes a good plan, plenty of support and A LOT of hard work. Look at this Ghanaian actress (Nadia Buari) for instance. You see her on the screen looking all hot and “ajebutter”, THIS is what she does to look that way. It takes work and dedication. Understand that transforming your body is an evolution.

When you reach one goal you’ll most likely start to reach for another one. It’s all about evolving yourself, your knowledge and your body. Wherever you are start now.

Stop procrastinating and take the first step to go after the things you want in life.

29. Don’t take this fitness and nutrition stuff so seriously.

Avoid getting into arguments about which diet is best because they all work.  Stop criticizing other people based on their way of eating.  Everyone deserves to do what they think is best to change their bodies.  Let them be and focus on yourself.

 30. Repeated for emphasis. Own yourself and your results. Take responsibility for everything that has happened thus far in life and take total 100% responsibility.

Meaning, you look the way you are because you caused it. Now DO something about it.

This is all folks.

Take *some* of these 30 ways to transform your body and start applying it right now. Take that first step and then the next step after that. This is a wake up call.

Realize that you’re an amazing human being. Start acting like it.

In the end this is all about being The Best YOU you can possibly be. You don’t need six pack abs or need to be skinny to be loved. Be in love with yourself.

If you have some changes to make then take action and start the process to making your goals a reality. No one is going to do it for you. You gotta get up and get going.

How To Cook And Eat "Fatty" Indomie And Get Away With It!

From Dr. Ela Maris & Jackreece Oboms
08038976690, 07089009691

Dear Fat Loss Subscriber,

I want to show you one trick today. 

I believe so much that you will thank me for it. Especially if you love Indomie Noodles so much (or any of its variant) that you crave for it but unable to eat it as much as you want because of your weight loss journey. 

 

NOTE - I decided to write this report because a subscriber asked me for help on  how she can still lose weight while at the same time still eat her Indomie noodles as she cannot do without it.

I am going to show you how you can eat your Noodles and be able to get away with eating it...

Without gaining any ounce of 
fat as a result!

But before I tell you how to cook this healthy indomie, I want to show you how every other person eat theirs that makes it fatty:

One small pack of indomie (70g) contains 370 calories. Of this 70g pack, 54g is mainly carbohydrates. And don't even get me started on the amount of sodium in the seasoning. (check the back of the pack of an indomie to understand what I mean)

One small pack is not even enough for one adult to eat, so most people tend to eat 2 or even 3 packs.

That is between 740 and 1100 calories in one meal. 

And guess what, that does not include all the Oil, puree sauce and the chicken/fish that other people include in theirs.

This Makes Indomie A Very High Calorie 
Carb Meal (very fatty).

That is not going to help your weight loss goal!

But not to worry, I am going to show you a method to cook your Noodles in a healthier way that you will enjoy and not have to worry about gaining weight as a result. 

I hope you are ready...Let's go!

INGREDIENT
1. One small pack of indomie (Yes, I mean one (1) small pack!)
2. Cup of water
3. 1 egg
4. Vegetable Stir Fry (contains 3 - 5 different vegetables mixed together)

NOTE - If you have Shoprite in your town, they stock vegetable stir fry. If not, you can improvise by getting 4 of any of the following: Green Peas, Sweet corn, cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, lettuce and Bell Pepper (tatase).

DIRECTION

STEP 1 - Boil your egg in water for 10 - 15 minutes until hard

STEP 2 - Slice/Chop your cucumbers, carrots, bell pepper and lettuce in small pieces and mix it with sweet corn and green peas in a small bowl.

STEP 3 - Put a small glass of water into a pan, let it boil, add grinded pepper to taste (depending on how hot you want it). Empty the 1 pack of  Indomie noodles into the boiling water and let it simmer for 2 minutes while you turn the Indomie to the other side

STEP 4 - Add (half the seasoning) and the full chilli powder and stir occasionally until the water dries up. 

STEP 5 - Put a large fry pan over medium heat. Add just 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, empty your mixed vegetable into the hot fry pan and continue to stir with a flat stirring spoon on medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes.

STEP 6 - Serve your indomie in a plate, with the boiled egg and put the hot vegetable stir fry on the side. Enjoy your meal!

Don't just say..."it won't taste nice". Try it first!

When you cook your Indomie like this, you can eat it whenever you want (like on a cheat day) and get away with eating it without putting on more weight or feeling guilty about eating it.

Try this at some point this week, and you can thank me later for it :)

Finally, I will close by asking you to get yourself a copy of My Amazing 1.Total Fat Loss Plan, or 2. 25 day fast weight loss diet OR our amazing 3. 101 flat belly and fat loss recipes.

If you want a flatter belly, and good looking body, all you need to do is use this .

Have a lovely day.

One “magical” Exercise to Double your Fat Loss

 If I told you that there was a way to burn more calories, DOUBLE your fat loss and improve your cardiovascular fitness level in as little as 20 minutes while spending less time doing cardio, would you believe it?

You had better believe it because it is TRUE.
 
I call it a “magical” exercise because you only need 20 – 30 minutes and you are good to go.

Not only that, its one exercise where you continue to burn calories up to 24-48 hours AFTER you have stopped working out. (Imagine burning extra fat as you sit at your desk at work!)

This “magical” exercise is called Interval Training. It is one of the 3 foundation Strategic Fat-Loss Exercises used in the Total Fat Loss Plan - A Weight Loss Plan which You can follow to Double Your Fat Loss results strictly for Nigerians with our “peculiar” Nigerian environment.

Before I go on to tell you how to do this exercise, I’ll quickly tell you what it is. Interval Training is a type of workout that involves a combination of high-intensity workout with low-intensity workout. These low-intensity workout could be an activity of lower intensity or complete rest period.

Here are reasons why I call Interval Training “magical” for Fat Loss

1. You lose weight faster. 
The more vigorous your exercise, the more calories you will burn, so even short bursts will help you lose weight.

2. It kills boredom. 
By varying the intensity of your exercises, it changes things up. Not only will your fitness program go by faster, but you won’t experience the drudgery that can come from doing the same routine every day.

3. No extras needed. 
You already have the equipment you need for your interval training because you’re already doing the basic workout.  Interval training requires no special skills — the only thing needed is more effort on your part.

4. You increase your fitness levels. 
You will improve your ability to exercise and increase your stamina over time.

5. You reduce the time spent on exercise. 
You spend less time exercising, but you burn the same or more calories as with your normal routine.

How to do a Fat-Loss Interval Training

Do a 5 mins warm up by stretching and matching on the spot. Next walk briskly for 20 seconds and then walk slowly for 20 seconds. Do this 30 times and then cool down for 5 mins again.

And that’s it. You would feel your heart beat faster and sweat all for a total duration of 30 minutes with DOUBLE Fat loss results.
