Ready to get started? Let's do this...
* Working at a calorie deficit is the basic rule to adhere to.
This means you must consume less calories overall in a day than you do at the minute. Don't cut your intake by a drastic amount, just work at this bit by bit because a drastic cut can have negative results. That's why extreme celeb weight loss plans don't work long term. Cut 200 cals per day until you hit your target daily intake then keep it there.
* More protein means more results.
If you are consuming less bad fatty foods and less carb heavy meals your body is immediately going to look at burning amino acids from protein instead. This means losing hard earned muscle. Even if you're not trying to get muscular, this is a bad place to be. Increase your daily protein when dieting and you'll reap positive results with this little known technique.
* Snack on protein rich foods.
Protein has the least effect of fat storage of the three food types. Eat a lot of carbs and you will see your body fat rise. So it makes sense that those daily snacks we all need should come from protein rich sources like fish or chicken, right? This step is often underestimated, a real fat loss secret.
* Use our tubs approach.
When you are at work with no healthy food in sight and a long shift still ahead of you this is the moment you are most likely to crack and search out instant energy, sugar filled foods which will wreak hell on your dieting results. Carry a few small snack pots with you to work. Make sure each tub is not large enough to fit anything more than a 50 or 100 calorie snack into it and you'll see why so many people quote this steps as their secret weight loss formula.
* Enjoy your day off.
How many diets have you done in the past where you felt like you were punishing yourself? Cutting out your favorite foods never leads anywhere promising. Take a day completely off your routine each week, enjoy your favorite foods. Sure, you'll pack on a few bad calories ton this day, but the fact is it will probably help you to stick to your diet five times as long as you ever did in the past!
Apply these simple methods and you will get results, regardless of current experience or even current weight. These are the basics of any proven, solid diet plan and if you are looking at how to lose weight effectively and keep it off you will do well to apply each step shown here first.
