Fitness coach shares 6 hacks to speed up weight loss: ‘Start tracking your food'
Melissa is a weight loss coach who regularly shares effective tips and hacks for faster fat loss on her Instagram profile. From practical diet advice and workout strategies to cautioning against common lifestyle habits that hinder progress, Melissa's content is packed with valuable insights to support a successful and sustainable weight loss journey.

'Alright it's full-blown summer and you want to speed up your fat loss…I get it! I don't recommend any extreme measures but…the good news is a few tweaks can lead to major results in an expedited time,' she wrote. Here are the hacks that Melissa suggested: 1. Eat more protein Protein keeps you full, supports lean muscle and boosts your metabolism. Most women don't eat enough, especially at breakfast and lunch! Prioritise it at every meal. Protein can help keep the body satiated for a longer time, reducing cravings. 2. Start tracking your food Awareness is everything. Guessing will keep you stuck. If you don't know how much you're eating, it's nearly impossible to make the right adjustments. Tracking gives you the clarity and control to make fat loss more strategic. You don't have to track forever! Tracking is a tool to help you get results. Being consistent with calorie deficit can help in faster and sustained weight loss.(Shutterstock) 3. Move your body more Movement outside of the gym matters more than you think. This includes walking, standing, fidgeting, and doing chores. Aim for 10k steps a day. It adds up to hundreds of calories burned without added stress to your body! 4. Cut out alcohol Even a few drinks will slow fat loss by disrupting sleep, recovery and metabolism. This is a fact. Set a drink limit or skip it entirely if you're really serious about results moving faster! Again, this is not forever.

Stop taking the weekend off You can't be on diet all week and go rogue on the weekend—progress doesn't work on part-time effort. Consistency every day is what drives results. Make your weekends look like your week and you'll make 10x progress! 6. Hire a coach Stop doing this alone. A coach gives you strategy, accountability and a customised plan, so you stop spinning your wheels and start seeing results faster.

But today she has revealed that she had the journey from hell home - undoing the good the holiday did. Taking to Instagram, Melissa wrote: 'I've been a bit quiet because life has been a LOT. The trip away was so restorative but honestly the act of getting home undid it 'The ship didn't make it into the final port of my trip due to very bad weather, but obviously my flight was booked from there! 'So booked a flight home from the next available port very last minute, which was a midnight flight, which was delayed by 2 hours because of weather again, and then the ENTIRE 3 hour flight was mad turbulence and lightning out the window I s*** you not. 'I'm not a nervous flyer but I was on that flight. 'Honestly, not a fun experience, followed by only 4 hours of sleep and then a 3 hour train journey home with River and all my luggage. 'On the list of things I simply do not need in my life, this experience was a high ranking one.' Melissa added: 'Not aided by the fact that towards the end of the trip, my symptoms started getting worse. 'I think the combination of not eating anything other than steak and potatoes, as well as the stress of making a new very last minute plan and the childcare and everything that went along with that is probably what did it. Former EastEnders star has had '40 doctors appointments' and spent 'over five figures' amid gruelling health condition 'Also my period always makes everything worse- I've actually just had a test arrive that looks at your DNA and hormones to see if I can pin point anything I'm missing. 'But anyway, I am home now safe and sound, I have done all the washing, I've got full control over my diet again, and I've got my boy back. But I am feeling rough in a way that I haven't in a while, so l'm focusing all my energy on resting. What is SIBO? SIBO is also known as Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. Melissa experiences nausea, reflux, constipation, and other symptoms like her hair falling out and suffering from dry skin. According to the Mayo Clinic, the condition occurs "when there is an abnormal increase in the overall bacterial population in the small intestine — particularly types of bacteria not commonly found in that part of the digestive tract." Symptoms are listed as a loss of appetite, abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, an uncomfortable feeling of fullness after eating, diarrhea, unintentional weight loss, and malnutrition. 'I've got a really busy week next week too, so I've really got to try and get back on top of things quickly tbh. But when your nervous system is frazzled, that time limit way of thinking is completely counter productive.'
