There are two types of people who are lost in the gym. Those who are trying to work out how to build muscle more effectively and those desperately struggling to figure out how to lose weight. What you will find today is the solution for the latter group as we unearth the five proven rules of simple fat loss.
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.
Let's get started!
The following 5 steps are all you really need when it comes to dieting, these are the foundations of a solid lifestyle.
1) Understand Your Calories
2) Know When To Increase Protein
3) Protein Foods Make Better Snacks
4) Pack Snack Tubs With Your Lunch
5) Enjoy Your Favorite Foods On A Designated Day Off
We will now run through some of these rules in more depth to help you get the most from them. The first of which revolves around simply understanding a little bit about the calories you eat. No, you do not need to watch every single calorie or skip your favorite meals. That's actually a bad way to diet. When you are dieting effectively you shouldn't even feel like you are dieting. You must operate at a calorie deficit, meaning eat less per day than you do now, that's a solid start.
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.
Rules three and four cover snacking. The most common reason for people failing time and time again when it comes to weight loss is their inability to stop snacking through boredom. Usually, hunger strikes when you're at work and don't have any healthy food around you.
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.
After you've dieted all week the last thing you'd probably want to do is to take a day off, right? Dismiss the fear that you can undo a great week's work with one simple day. Remember, there is a big difference between a cheat day and Christmas day. By enjoying a day off you'll curb any temptations. Enjoy your favorite junk food if you want to, it won't derail your efforts in the bigger picture and it will actually help you stick to your plan far longer than you may ever have in the past.
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.
