More and more people are getting lost with how to lose weight so in today's article we will cover three basic, simple rules to success with your diet plan. Despite the advances we have made in science, this remains one of the main areas which people experience difficulty with.
Many people get lost in the sea of information surrounding how to diet and, as a result of all the conflicting information out there, they never fully commit to their quest to drop some unwanted pounds.
We have become so used to this mass confusion that we would now rather spend time looking for expensive, complex solutions when the truth is the old basics still work the best.
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.
Written below are three of the most important factors for your consideration.
* It's not really about how much you eat, it's about what you eat.
* Exercise is your diet's best friend.
* You need to be able to resist temptation while at work.
To establish you daily calorie intake you simply need to multiply your target body weight, in pounds, by the figure twelve. Easier than you thought, right?
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.
Next we need to get the right cut between fat, protein and carbohydrates because all three nutrients will play an important role in your body's rebuilding process. Do not cut any of them out, despite the hyped up celebrity diets which tell you to, it leads to unhealthy weight loss. A optimal split would consist of 40%, 40% and 20% between carbs, proteins and fats respectively.
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.
Furthermore, do not be afraid to use weights. This one applies mainly to women, many of whom still subscribe to the old myth that weights will only make you muscular. Think about that for a moment. If it were really true, then every man you saw at the gym would look like Sylvester Stallone! Weights will help you to burn even more calories as well as tone your muscles.
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.
You no longer need to wonder how to lose weight effectively because today's three steps have actually told you the answer. It may have been a lot easier than you thought it was going to be, too. Usually if you ask somebody for advice on how to build muscle you will be met with a bunch of similar over complicated answers, so our next post will focus on that topic for you.
