Everybody loves chocolate chip muffins. Even though these muffins are a lower-sugar version of the generic McCafe style, they’re still not low in total carbs, so make sure you treat yourself to these as a reward AFTER you’ve completed your workout!

If you’re looking for a great meal alternative to eggs, look no further. Complete with lean turkey sausage, carotene-rich yams, and just the right combination of herbs and spices, this meal can serve as a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner.  

Working out is not supposed to be a leisurely stroll in the park.

To push your body to its potential and to burn more calories, don't take long breaks between exercises. 

Rest no more than 30seconds after each set or exercise to keep your body shedding calories and body fat. 

If you're doing your own fat-burning circuit, try this:

- Pick at least 6 full-body exercises performed consecutively

- Use a 2:1 work/rest ratio for each exercise, eg. if a set of Squats lasts 40 secs then rest no more than 20secs before moving on to the next exercise. If the set of say 30 squats takes you 60secs then rest no more than 30secs etc.

- Aim to burn at least 600 calories by the end of your workout.

If you do at least 3 of these fat-burning circuits per week, combined with a healthy diet including a moderate calorie deficit, you should see results of 0.5kg-1kg of weight loss per week. 

Dieters often fast until they can't take it any longer. 

Unfortunately, many poor choices are made in the heat of the hunger moment. 

Keep healthy (high protein and low carb) snacks nearby to stave off hunger and drink plenty of water to avoid eating when you should be drinking.

Peaches and cream are a delectable match made in heaven, except for one little problem – the typical dessert recipe for these are full of fat and sugar. This breakfast omelette version is a high protein, lower carb alternative that has all the heavenly deliciousness without the guilt!

Weight loss is often a frustrating pursuit, eluding even those who eat healthy and exercise. So what gives? Why won’t the scale budge even though you're putting in tremendous effort?
