If you're like most people you've tried figuring out how to lose weight to no avail and the only consistent thing with your diet is that regularity that you fall off the rails each month. It's time to end that.
We all want instant results and sometimes we get lost in marketing hype or over complicated miracle procedures rather than noticing the foundations first.
No matter how many people try to tell you otherwise, fat loss is not difficult. It's marketing 101. It is far easier to sell a new product to someone if you make them feel like they need it, they cannot succeed without it. This is why the world of diet is often needlessly over complicated.
Before you try any products or tried jumping into the finer details of nutrition you need to lay down the basics.
If you overlook the basic rules and over complicate things too quickly you will notice that you are constantly obsessing over unimportant aspects and overlooking the things which actually work. Start by eating less food.
That's common sense, however, and the part where people mainly go wrong is figuring out how many carbohydrates, fats and protein to consume each day. This is where they feel things are too complicated for them to follow so instead they look for pre-made, ready-to-follow diet scripts instead of looking after themselves. Most of those diets cut out carbs and fats completely, leading to yo-yo dieting.
The truth is you should look to aim for a split of 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates and 20% fats. That's right, you don't need to cut out fat.
It is also shown that when you snack you could do a lot worse than choosing protein as your macro nutrient of choice. The next time you feel peckish at work try to attack a food high in protein content rather than the quick carb, bad fats associated with junk food.
Most people fall off their diet because they feel they have to cut out their own favorite junk foods. This is baloney. Take a day off each week and enjoy yourself. You cannot undo consistent healthy eating with one day, unless you go particularly crazy, so feel free to enjoy your favorite food. This will help you to stick to your diet in the bigger picture.
The next time a friend asks you for tips on how to lose weight you know what to tell them now. Implement these tips and you will see results whether it's fat loss you want or even learning how to build muscle.
