• Six Senses expert’s practical guide to weight loss and looking good


• Easy hints on shape management

We all want to lose a few pounds and look better than ever, but sometimes it just so difficult to achieve. Frustration and failure are easy to avoid if you have an effective and realistic plan of action. To help you reach your fat-fighting goal, Elaine Okeke, Spa Manager at Six Senses Hideaway Zighy Bay in Oman has developed a weight-loss guide to help you unlock the secret of getting the body you deserve. 
 
Having a plan is the foundation of Six Senses Hideaway Zighy Bay’s weight loss guide.  According to Elaine’s expert advice, your plan should start with an inspiring mission statement and end with a clear vision of where you want to be. Consisting of a series of milestones, your Six Senses plan is designed to push the body beyond its day-to-day activity and bring you ever closer to the shape you’ve always wanted.  The Six Senses’ expert guide also explores six main food groups, like vegetables and fruits, explaining their essential goodness and how much they should feature in your diet. 
 
When pulling together a fat-loss plan, Six Senses Hideaway Zighy Bay offers the following essential tips to get the best results imaginable:
 

• Fat v Weight: Think about body fat percentage and not body weight. A healthy body fat percentage is approximately 7-18% for males and 18-24% for females


• Calories count: There are 3500 calories for every pound of fat. To lose a pound of fat in a week, you need to lose 500 or more calories a day.


• A great combo:The most effective way of burning fat is combining weight-training 3-4 times/week and cardio exercise 3-5 times a week.


• Sleeping beauty: If you build more muscle you will increase your metabolism, and burn more calories during the day and while you are sleeping.


• Small is best: Try and eat 5-6 small meals each day instead of three large meal as it will help increase your metabolism.


• Hydration is key: Drinking at least 8-12 glasses of water per day will increase the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream, increasing the fat’s burning ability and overall energy output.


• Go nuts: Try eating nuts 30 minutes before a meal as it will actually decrease your food intake.

 
Rochelle Killgariff, General Manager for Six Senses Hideaway Zighy Bay in Oman commented, “Elaine’s plan is not a rigid prescription, but a general guide that lets you choose a healthy diet that''s right for you and your lifestyle. It goes through all the main food groups, and of course once your reach your goal, details just the right amount of calories to maintain your new, healthy weight. Our expert team is completely committed to helping our guests achieve the results they want. Joining us at Zighy Bay is a perfect way to get yourself started on the road to your perfect body.”
