0 Why You Keep Failing With Your Diet

By Russ Howe


If you're like most people you've tried figuring out how to lose weight to no avail and the only consistent thing with your diet is that regularity that you fall off the rails each month. It's time to end that.

We all want instant results and sometimes we get lost in marketing hype or over complicated miracle procedures rather than noticing the foundations first.

The truth is we often over complicate the fat loss procedure. One of the reasons the health and fitness industry is a billion dollar business is because there are people waiting around every corner to sell you the next miracle supplement. So you're going to find people making it sound far harder than it actually is.

Before you try any products or tried jumping into the finer details of nutrition you need to lay down the basics.

Most people neglect the top rule of fat loss, which is using a calorie deficit. So what do we mean? Simply eating less than you do now, that's all. See, it's not as complicated as some make out...

You should also look to establish a good routine when it comes to your split of protein, carbohydrates and fats. The majority of us on a bad diet get way too many carbs and fats each day, yet the majority of us dieting have been brainwashed into thinking they need to cut out fats and carbs completely.

A proven split such as the 4-4-2 system, which comprises of 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein and 20% fats, is a great system to use.

There are a few other handy tips you could also apply including the usage of protein as snack food. Protein has far less impact on your body's fat storage cells so if you fancy a little snack at work you should definitely look to utilize that fact.

Be sure to also enjoy a day off your diet every week. Designate one day per week, call it a 'cheat day' if you wish, and simply enjoy it. There is a difference between enjoying your favorite foods and binge eating, of course, and this is something you will learn quickly. This little trick will eliminate the issue of craving junk food entirely.

The next time a friend asks you for tips on how to lose weight you know what to tell them now. Implement these tips and you will see results whether it's fat loss you want or even learning how to build muscle.
