The Five Steps To Lasting Weight Loss

By Russ Howe


So many people get unnecessarily lost when it comes to how to lose weight so today our instructors are going to put together some simple and proven tips for you to get quick but lasting rewards for your hard efforts in the gym.

There are no if's or maybe's when it comes to the five steps shown in today's post. To put it bluntly, they simply do the job every time.

It's time to get some results!

There is so much nonsense out there when it comes to dieting and fat loss that people often overlook the basics which are proven to work.

1) Get To Know Your Calories

2) Up Your Protein When Cutting Carbs

3) Snack On Protein Rich Food

4) Snack Tubs Rule

5) Enjoy Your Favorite Foods On A Designated Day Off

We will now run through some of these rules in more depth to help you get the most from them. The first of which revolves around simply understanding a little bit about the calories you eat. No, you do not need to watch every single calorie or skip your favorite meals. That's actually a bad way to diet. When you are dieting effectively you shouldn't even feel like you are dieting. You must operate at a calorie deficit, meaning eat less per day than you do now, that's a solid start.

One of the common trends these days is to cut down carbohydrates when dieting for fat loss. It's proven and it works, but only if you remember to also increase your protein intake. So don't starve yourself. If your plate looks a little empty with less rice around that chicken breast, treat yourself to another piece of chicken. This actually helps you get results.

The third and fourth steps look at snacking. Snacking is an easy way to fall off the rails and most of us don't realize we're doing it as often as we are. These rules will help you to control your eating habits while the focus is off meals, i.e. when you're hard at work.

Take a few small tubs with you to work, pack them with protein rich foods and enjoy them throughout the day whenever you feel peckish. Protein has far less impact on our fat storage cells than either carbs or fat, so enjoy!

On to the last rule, which is probably the most misunderstood. There is a common tendency for people who are dieting to feel the need to punish themselves by cutting out all of their favorite foods. Where does this lead them? Failure. They fall off the rails two months in and pile the weight straight back on. Take a designated day off each week and you'll avoid this pitfall.

Whether you're lost trying to figure out how to lose weight and keep it off or are trying to learn how to build muscle and not sure where to get started, the five rules shown today simply work.
