What Do You Need To Do To Lose Weight?

By Howe Russ


If you ask most people for their top question in the gym there is little doubt what it would be. Most of us want to know how to lose weight both quickly and effectively. Despite the huge leaps forward we have made in scientific research and sports supplements, most people remain lost with their diet.

Many people get lost in the sea of information surrounding how to diet and, as a result of all the conflicting information out there, they never fully commit to their quest to drop some unwanted pounds.

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.

Unlike most other advice on this topic, we have nothing to sell you. We aren't here to give you a miracle product or a dieting pill, so what you're going to get is proven, simple advice which has research to back it up.

If you can make the most of the following few steps you will notice greatly enhanced results.

* It's not really about how much you eat, it's about what you eat.

* To get the most from any diet you should combine it with regular physical activity.

* You need to be able to resist temptation while at work.

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!

Too many diets go wrong due to the fact that the person cuts their total calorie intake too drastically and therefore cannot lose any weight because their body is hanging onto fat.

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.

When it comes to exercise you will be pleased to hear that the gym has evolved since the days of prescribing massive cardiovascular exercise sessions on the treadmill. Science now knows that shorter, high intensity exercise sessions will help you to burn more calories and will take less time to complete.

There are various methods of exercise. You could opt for the traditional equipment such as a treadmill and some resistance training our you could get creative and train outdoors. The choice is yours, it all works.

The third rule teaches you how to avoid temptation. We all love snacks and one of the hardest times to resist the vending machine is while at work. If you haven't got any food prepared it can seem almost impossible. Here's a fact for you. Protein has far less impact on fat storage than either carbohydrates or fats.

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.

The three rules above teach the basic rules of how to lose weight safely and effectively. If you have previously felt a little lost do not worry, you are not alone. In fact, the confusion is similar when you want to learn how to build muscle, everybody has a different opinion. The science supporting these facts will set the foundation for a great diet plan.
