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.
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.
There is nothing stopping you from getting results and we are going to show you why it might actually be far easier than you have previously been led to believe.
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.
If you can make the most of the following few steps you will notice greatly enhanced results.
* Learn how to control your diet by discovering how much to consume and what type of food to look out for.
* Your diet needs to be combined with some form of regular exercise activity.
* Half of the battle against the bulge is just learning how to avoid temptation.
So, first of all we're going to show you how to ensure you get not only the right number of calories per day but also that they arrive from the best sources of food. If you do not know how many calories you should be eating to reach your goal weight, try this simple equation. Take your goal body weight in pounds and multiply the figure by 12. See, we told you it was easy!
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.
The most important step in your diet is splitting your calories between protein, fat and carbohydrates. Despite popular belief, you should never cut one of these nutrients out of your diet and if you do it'll only cause a negative outcome. A great split for your calories is 40% from carbohydrate sources, 20% from fats and 40% from protein rich foods.
Exercise is particularly useful to helping you achieve your long term goal and it will also enable you to achieve a toned appearance once you reach your target body weight. Try performing a few high intensity interval sessions each week in partnership with your healthy eating plan. You will elevate your heart rate and burn a lot of unwanted body fat in the process.
A combination of cardio and weights would be best, but if you are just starting out then you could literally just go for a brisk walk or swim. Exercise is exercise, no matter where it takes place.
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.
So it makes sense to pack a few small protein rich snacks into your satchel before work and use them wisely throughout the day. Not only is it going to keep your diet on track, but it's going to curb your hunger while at your job.
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.
