The Main Ingredients To A Successful Weight Loss Routine

By Russ Howe-P.t.i.


If you are one of the many thousands of people trying to figure out how to lose weight safely and effectively, you'll be pleased to read today's post. We are going to focus on the main areas where people go wrong and show you four or five simple, proven steps to building a leaner, fitter you

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.

Many of the so-called 'miracle diet plans' revolve around very old principles, so before you spend your hard earned money on one of these it would pay dividends to learn the rules for yourself.

Unlike most other advice on this topic, we have nothing to sell you. We aren't here to give you a miracle product or a dieting pill, so what you're going to get is proven, simple advice which has research to back it up.

If you can make the most of the following few steps you will notice greatly enhanced results.

* You must know where to get your calories from.

* Your diet needs to be combined with some form of regular exercise activity.

* Once you have mastered the art of resisting temptation you will be able to reach your goals far easier.

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.

Most people who struggle to get rid of their belly are shocked to discover that they are actually under-eating. Like we said, it's not about how much you eat it's about where you get it from.

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.

Once that is in place it is time to hit the gym or get another form of exercise. The best form of exercise when it comes to cutting size is anything which elevates your heart rate. You don't need to subscribe to the old formula of endless hours on a treadmill, exercise like high intensity interval training is proven to yield better results and do it in a shorted time.

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.

As you can see, the confusion surrounding how to lose weight easily clears when you look at the proven principles. Most of the fitness industry suffers from this issue, ask anybody how to build muscle at your local gym and you'll get similarly mixed answers. Now that you know these three principles you are well on your way to success.
