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) Get A Basic Grasp On Your Calorie Intake
2) Up Your Protein When Cutting Carbs
3) Protein Foods Make Better Snacks
4) The Tubs Of Success
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.
When we diet we tend to hear all kinds of bad things about carbohydrates and therefore we like to cut down the number of carbs we eat. That's fine, it will help your progress, but you need to do it correctly. Don't just drop all the carbs from your diet. Cut down if you want but ensure you still get some in your system every day and ensure you increase your protein intake, too.
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.
Take a few small tubs with you to work, pack them with protein rich foods and enjoy them throughout the day whenever you feel peckish. Protein has far less impact on our fat storage cells than either carbs or fat, so enjoy!
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.
As you'll notice when you see our future posts, if you are one of the gym users trying to work out how to build muscle you can use these proven tips and just shuffle a few of the details around to get results there. Today's post, of course, is designed with those trying to work out how to lose weight in mind and gives you a very strong position to start from in your journey to a new, better lifestyle.
