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.
The following steps are proven and very, very effective not only when it comes to removing unwanted body fat but also when it comes to keeping it off in future.
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) Get To Know Your Calories
2) Dropping Calories And Carbs Requires Increased Protein
3) If You Want A Snack, Shoot For Protein
4) Snack Tubs Rule
5) Take That Day Off
While some of the rules above probably make perfect sense right away, I'm sure there are a few in there which may cause confusion so now we'll go through each one and explain how to implement them. The top rules focuses on your calorie intake. Be sure that if you want to lose fat or drop body weight you will need to establish your current daily calorie intake and begin operating on less calories per day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
