If you ask most people for their top question in the gym there is little doubt what it would be. Most of us want to know how to lose weight both quickly and effectively. Despite the huge leaps forward we have made in scientific research and sports supplements, most people remain lost with their diet.
The industry itself is largely to blame for the amount of confusion in this area. Due to the fact that there is a lot of money to be made, you'll often see every supplement company or trainer promising easier results if you buy their product or join their client list. As a result, people are always trying to find a quick fix rather than just achieving their goals.
There is nothing stopping you from getting results and we are going to show you why it might actually be far easier than you have previously been led to believe.
The steps we will explain here today are not for purchase, they are free. They're backed up with years of scientific research so you know they work and you may well be surprised by their simplicity.
Here are the three fundamental rules to a good diet.
* It's not really about how much you eat, it's about what you eat.
* To get the most from any diet you should combine it with regular physical activity.
* Half of the battle against the bulge is just learning how to avoid temptation.
Most people have no idea how much to eat. In order to consume the right amount of calories per day simply take your goal body weight in pounds and multiply by twelve.
Celebrity obsessed culture is to blame for our tendency to cut calories far too drastically in a bid to experience quick weight loss. We highly recommend you do not follow that trend, because it encourages yo-yo dieting and actually brings about less results than proper dieting.
The most important step in your diet is splitting your calories between protein, fat and carbohydrates. Despite popular belief, you should never cut one of these nutrients out of your diet and if you do it'll only cause a negative outcome. A great split for your calories is 40% from carbohydrate sources, 20% from fats and 40% from protein rich foods.
When it comes to exercise you will be pleased to hear that the gym has evolved since the days of prescribing massive cardiovascular exercise sessions on the treadmill. Science now knows that shorter, high intensity exercise sessions will help you to burn more calories and will take less time to complete.
A combination of cardio and weights would be best, but if you are just starting out then you could literally just go for a brisk walk or swim. Exercise is exercise, no matter where it takes place.
The third rule teaches you how to avoid temptation. We all love snacks and one of the hardest times to resist the vending machine is while at work. If you haven't got any food prepared it can seem almost impossible. Here's a fact for you. Protein has far less impact on fat storage than either carbohydrates or fats.
We'd recommend making up a few little snack tubs before you go to work each day, particularly when you know you are in for a hard day. This will remove the temptation for junk food and keep you on your plan. Furthermore, packing a protein rich snack will help you continue to reap the benefits of your diet even as you have extra snacks throughout your day.
The three rules above teach the basic rules of how to lose weight safely and effectively. If you have previously felt a little lost do not worry, you are not alone. In fact, the confusion is similar when you want to learn how to build muscle, everybody has a different opinion. The science supporting these facts will set the foundation for a great diet plan.
