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 upcoming pointers are the foundations of a good training program and diet. To put it simply, they work.
Let's get started!
Lay these rules at the foundation of your diet regime from now on and you will enjoy continued, long lasting success with your physique.
1) Get A Basic Grasp On Your Calorie Intake
2) Up Your Protein When Cutting Carbs
3) If You Want A Snack, Shoot For Protein
4) The Tubs Of Success
5) Enjoy Your Favorite Foods On A Designated 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.
After five years of working in my gym I can comfortably say that snacking is the number one enemy of a dieter. I have lost count of how many times I've heard the stories of a perfectly laid out diet plan going to waste because of a stressful day at work.
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.
So if you fall into the group of people desperately trying to figure out how to lose weight effectively you now have a strong foothold to get moving from. If you're trying to learn how to build muscle we'll have another post for you coming up soon.
