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.
There is so much information out there that it has become almost too easy to get misled. People are afraid to commit to one goal because they are constantly being promised easier results elsewhere.
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.
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.
* 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.
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 biggest test you will face is when you are in a situation with no meals prepared and a stressful day ahead. Yes, we're talking about work. It's no wonder so many people succumb to the temptation of the sweet shop while at their job. Protein is by far the superior nutrient when it comes to snacking.
Feel free to make up a few protein rich snacks for your day of work. This will help you to stay away from the vending machine and continue getting results even when you're not in the gym.
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.
