There are so many next big thing, hyped up instant fix solutions out there which mislead people and lead them down a never ending cycle of getting nowhere fast. It's easy to get lost. What you will see here are the basic, time honored and recognized truths of dieting.
Basically, the 5 steps you see here work very well.
It's time to get moving.
* Learn how to work at a calorie deficit.
What does this mean? Like most things in fitness it isn't as hard as it sounds. A calorie deficit basically means eating less calories per day (or per week) than you do right now. People often go wrong here though, cutting so drastically that their body enters starvation mode and actually stores fat. Don't starve yourself, cut out no more than 200 calories per day until you have reached your daily target rather than making a sudden, shocking jump. This step alone is where many people get lost.
* Increase your daily protein.
Even if you are not concerned with getting muscular you don't want to be losing muscle. Lose the bad weight, i.e. fat, not the good weight. Your body's natural reaction to you eating less fat and carbs is to look to burn muscle instead. Kill this and force it to hang onto your muscle by consuming more protein when dieting.
* Snack on protein rich foods.
Protein has the least effect of fat storage of the three food types. Eat a lot of carbs and you will see your body fat rise. So it makes sense that those daily snacks we all need should come from protein rich sources like fish or chicken, right? This step is often underestimated, a real fat loss secret.
* Use our tubs approach.
When you are at work with no healthy food in sight and a long shift still ahead of you this is the moment you are most likely to crack and search out instant energy, sugar filled foods which will wreak hell on your dieting results. Carry a few small snack pots with you to work. Make sure each tub is not large enough to fit anything more than a 50 or 100 calorie snack into it and you'll see why so many people quote this steps as their secret weight loss formula.
* Don't cut out your favorite junk foods while dieting.
Cutting your favorite junk foods is a bad move when on any diet. Why? Because it leads you to fall off the rails and quit after a few weeks. Enjoy one day per week where you literally don't count your food and eat how you want. You will put on some bad weight here for sure, but overall it will help you to stick to your goal far longer.
These simple, time proven tricks have the backing of professional athletes and trainers alike. Apply them to your current regime and you will have your mind blown by the possibilities you unlock. If you are serious about building a better physique and figuring out how to lose weight properly, you can begin today.
