As a fitness instructor I know that there is one area where most gym users are completely confused. That area, of course, is how to lose weight. Make no mistake about it, whether you are aiming for lasting fat loss or even trying to figure out how to build muscle you will come across a few simple rules which are proven to work.
The upcoming pointers are the foundations of a good training program and diet. To put it simply, they work.
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) Understand Your Calories
2) Know When To Increase Protein
3) If You Want A Snack, Shoot For Protein
4) The Tubs Of Success
5) Enjoy Your Favorite Foods On A Designated Day Off
While some of the rules above probably make perfect sense right away, I'm sure there are a few in there which may cause confusion so now we'll go through each one and explain how to implement them. The top rules focuses on your calorie intake. Be sure that if you want to lose fat or drop body weight you will need to establish your current daily calorie intake and begin operating on less calories per day.
When we diet we tend to hear all kinds of bad things about carbohydrates and therefore we like to cut down the number of carbs we eat. That's fine, it will help your progress, but you need to do it correctly. Don't just drop all the carbs from your diet. Cut down if you want but ensure you still get some in your system every day and ensure you increase your protein intake, too.
After five years of working in my gym I can comfortably say that snacking is the number one enemy of a dieter. I have lost count of how many times I've heard the stories of a perfectly laid out diet plan going to waste because of a stressful day 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!
The final rule is the most important of all. Taking a day off may seem like nonsense but it is actually the rule which people are most thankful for when they reach their results. It enables them to eat whatever they want for one day per week and still get results, removing the whole feeling of punishment which is generally associated with trying to get healthy.
As you'll notice when you see our future posts, if you are one of the gym users trying to work out how to build muscle you can use these proven tips and just shuffle a few of the details around to get results there. Today's post, of course, is designed with those trying to work out how to lose weight in mind and gives you a very strong position to start from in your journey to a new, better lifestyle.
