If you have hit a wall with your fat loss progress, today's article is designed to teach you a couple of basic yet proven facts. When it comes to figuring out how to lose weight these steps have been proven to yield results time and time again in the gym so if you're looking for a way to reach the next level you will enjoy today's post.
As fitness instructors we know that there is so much misinformation when it comes to fat loss that it's almost criminal. Particularly online, where people constantly have an agenda to sell a miracle pill or extreme fat reducing product of some kind. These steps today are simple, proven and cost nothing.
The following two steps will help you to get past even the hardest block when trying to lose unwanted body fat.
Rule One - Snack Tubs.
Rule Number Two - Take A Day Off.
Most people fall off a diet at least once in their life. Heck, I have known people to do it almost monthly. There is one reason which causes this more than any other and that is the temptation of your favorite junk foods. Normally this happens when you are at your job and don't have any food with you. The vending machine is right there, after all. We've been there before probably just like you have.
It's stocked with unhealthy foods. Believe it or not, your body doesn't actually crave that chocolate or those crisps as much as you think. You long for the quick fix satisfaction you associate with it, that's all.
The nutritional facts of any of the foods in that vending machine are terrible, so your body is absolutely not longing for that type of food, believe us on that. It's you. It's more of a comfort thing than a hunger thing. You associate it with feeling happy, and you know it.
Before heading off to work pack three or four small snack tubs with protein rich snacks. Snacking on protein feeds your muscles and also has far less impact on your body's fat storage system.
This easy trick is usually enough to eliminate junk food cravings at work completely. Not only do you feel fuller and work more efficiently because your body is actually using the nutrition now, but you also don't want to waste food you prepared at home so you subconsciously force yourself to stick to it.
Secondly we want to focus on the importance of having a day off from your diet once per week. Some people don't need a day off every week, but we would recommend taking one at least every two weeks even if you don't want to. Again this is more of a mental thing than a physical thing, but the benefits are proven.
Most people how try to lose fat go too hard too fast. They cut out their favorite foods and think they need to live off 'rabbit food' to get slimmer. This is nonsense, and a sure fire way to fall off your plan very fast.
Don't be too hard on yourself. You only want to build a better body, after all. Take a day off each week.
The increase in calories will not be large enough to have an impact on your overall progress, any junk food you consume is easily offset against eating well all week and most importantly it helps you to stick to your routine permanently this time.
Both of these steps are tried and tested. They work, it's as simple as that. Apply them to your diet today if you are trying to figure out how to lose weight and you will see positive results.
