As a fitness instructor I know that there is one area where most gym users are completely confused. That area, of course, is how to lose weight. Make no mistake about it, whether you are aiming for lasting fat loss or even trying to figure out how to build muscle you will come across a few simple rules which are proven to work.
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.
So, are you ready to begin?
There is so much nonsense out there when it comes to dieting and fat loss that people often overlook the basics which are proven to work.
1) Understand Your Calories
2) Dropping Calories And Carbs Requires Increased Protein
3) If You Want A Snack, Shoot For Protein
4) Pack Snack Tubs With Your Lunch
5) Enjoy Your Favorite Foods On A Designated 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.
Instead of just packing a lunch, we'd recommend purchasing a few smaller tubs and stuffing them with some protein rich foods. These snack options will keep you away from the vending machine, plus by aiming for protein rich content you'll notice your body stores considerably less fat.
The final rule is the most important of all. Taking a day off may seem like nonsense but it is actually the rule which people are most thankful for when they reach their results. It enables them to eat whatever they want for one day per week and still get results, removing the whole feeling of punishment which is generally associated with trying to get healthy.
Whether you're lost trying to figure out how to lose weight and keep it off or are trying to learn how to build muscle and not sure where to get started, the five rules shown today simply work.
