So many people get unnecessarily lost when it comes to how to lose weight so today our instructors are going to put together some simple and proven tips for you to get quick but lasting rewards for your hard efforts in the gym.
There are no if's or maybe's when it comes to the five steps shown in today's post. To put it bluntly, they simply do the job every time.
It's time to get some results!
Lay these rules at the foundation of your diet regime from now on and you will enjoy continued, long lasting success with your physique.
1) Get To Know Your Calories
2) Dropping Calories And Carbs Requires Increased Protein
3) Protein Foods Make Better Snacks
4) Snack Tubs Rule
5) Take That Day Off
We'd be pretty bad instructors if we just gave you that list and wished you all the best, of course, so now we're going to take some time to walk through each one in a bit more detail so you have no doubts or anything else holding you back. The first step is to establish how many calories you take in on average on a daily basis. From this point forwards, eat less calories than that number. That's the simplicity behind rule number one.
One of the common trends these days is to cut down carbohydrates when dieting for fat loss. It's proven and it works, but only if you remember to also increase your protein intake. So don't starve yourself. If your plate looks a little empty with less rice around that chicken breast, treat yourself to another piece of chicken. This actually helps you get results.
The third and fourth steps look at snacking. Snacking is an easy way to fall off the rails and most of us don't realize we're doing it as often as we are. These rules will help you to control your eating habits while the focus is off meals, i.e. when you're hard at work.
Protein has the least impact on fat storage, so if you want a snack it makes sense to shoot for a piece of chicken, tuna or even a protein sports supplement. Take a few small snack tubs alongside your packed lunch and stock them with some protein rich choices for you throughout the day. Never again will you see your reflection in the vending machine glass. You'll also store considerably less body fat by snacking with protein instead of carbohydrates or fats, so these two rules yield great returns particularly for those who work in offices.
On to the last rule, which is probably the most misunderstood. There is a common tendency for people who are dieting to feel the need to punish themselves by cutting out all of their favorite foods. Where does this lead them? Failure. They fall off the rails two months in and pile the weight straight back on. Take a designated day off each week and you'll avoid this pitfall.
So if you fall into the group of people desperately trying to figure out how to lose weight effectively you now have a strong foothold to get moving from. If you're trying to learn how to build muscle we'll have another post for you coming up soon.
