Basically, the 5 steps you see here work very well.
Ready to get started? Let's do this...
* Working at a calorie deficit is the basic rule to adhere to.
This means you must consume less calories overall in a day than you do at the minute. Don't cut your intake by a drastic amount, just work at this bit by bit because a drastic cut can have negative results. That's why extreme celeb weight loss plans don't work long term. Cut 200 cals per day until you hit your target daily intake then keep it there.
* Increase your daily protein.
Barely anybody who is new to dieting understands this step and it leads them to fail for about nine months before they finally 'get it'. You don't want to lose weight, you want to lose fat. Not muscle. Ever had that friend who lost a lot in a short time but looked strangely ill because of it? Combat this progress ruining bad habit by simply upping your protein levels during your daily diet regime.
* Snack on protein rich foods.
Protein has the least effect of fat storage of the three food types. Eat a lot of carbs and you will see your body fat rise. So it makes sense that those daily snacks we all need should come from protein rich sources like fish or chicken, right? This step is often underestimated, a real fat loss secret.
* Get your snack pot routine started.
Easily the top diet tip of many trainers, this simple technique is sworn by in our gym. Carrying small tubs in your rucksack with you to work, each container filled with a light and healthy snack of around 50 to 100 kcals will allow you to beat the one issue which brings most people off their diet. Picture it, you are half way through a hard shift at work with no food and the vending machine is calling your name.. We have all been there. This step nullifies this action completely.
* Take a day off every week.
The worst thing you can do when dieting is to feel like you are punishing yourself for wanting to get a better body. If all of your favorite junk foods are now forbidden you will probably give in to temptation and crash off your diet in spectacular fashion every time. Long term it actually pays to take a day off from your diet every week and enjoy your favorite foods as you wish. Be warned though, there is a difference between having a nice cheat day and having Christmas day.
Apply these simple methods and you will get results, regardless of current experience or even current weight. These are the basics of any proven, solid diet plan and if you are looking at how to lose weight effectively and keep it off you will do well to apply each step shown here first.
