How To Lose Weight Without Your Diet Ruling Your Entire Life
by Russ Howe
Let's face it, learning how to lose weight can be a minefield of conflicting, often over-complicated information.
The health and fitness industry is a multi-billion dollar business, and the dark underbelly of this world yields much of it's profit from dishing out bogus weight loss advice featuring everything from cabbage soup diets to miracle abdominal belts. Real weight loss advice, it seems, is dying a slow death.
So, below you will find three tips which will fire up your diet progress. None of them cost any money, and none of them require you to start living on rabbit food or wearing socks with sandals. Over the past decade, I have applied these steps with thousands of clients in gyms around the world. To put it simply - they are effective!
Are you ready to get started?
1. Eat Fewer Calories.
Yes, if you really want to lose weight you need to eat fewer calories. That's just the way it is. The trick is to avoid going too hard, too fast. The vast majority of people who are trying to lose a few pounds for summer tend to make the mistake of drastically cutting their calories overnight and, a few weeks later, find themselves in an impossible situation where they simply cannot lose anything despite eating significantly less food.
When we reduce our calories too quickly, our metabolism is slowed down to prevent our body from dying. It's a very smart machine, and it will learn how to survive on fewer calories if this type of lifestyle is sustained for a prolonged period.
So rather than going down this road, I recommend establishing your current calorie intake then lowering it by around 200kcal. When you reach a sticking point, reduce again.
2. Eat The Right Macros
Once you have reduced calories, weight loss will begin to move in the right direction. However, you'll do well to optimize your macronutrient intake at this stage, because this allows you to support a fitness routine and reap even more results from your body.
Protein, carbohydrates and fat are the names of the three macronutrients which you will be spending your daily calorie target on.
Protein will give your body the fuel to build lean muscle tissue, which will help you to get leaner as you train hard in the gym. Fat will provide your body with enough fuel to aid the production of key muscle building hormones including testosterone and cortisol. Finally, carbohydrates are responsible for energy.
The trick here is knowing how to get enough of each one. Start by keeping it very simple. I like to aim for 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fat. You can structure your foods in just about any way you want in order to hit those daily targets.
3. Avoid Quick Fix Diets
The number one enemy of anyone trying to lose fat is the diet industry itself. At every turn, you will be faced with promises of instant results for no effort.
The problem is, of course, none of these quick fix gimmicks will do anything to give you genuine results other than perhaps lightening the weight of your wallet. Quick fix diets are usually based upon the concept of avoiding entire food groups (i.e. no carbs) or cutting calories to an extreme level. Again, the body will adapt to even the most ridiculous of extremes and once this happens you find yourself in an even worse situation than when you started. This is why people who partake in quick fix diets tend to put all the weight back on when they finish their diet plan.
And that's that! Using these three simple tips, you now understand the basic principles of how to lose weight. Share today's article with any friends who may also find it useful.
