The Basic Rules To Natural Weight Loss

By Russ Howe


As a gym instructor, over the last five years I have seen many people try to lose weight. Most pick up the latest celebrity diet plan or try to lose weight quickly for a special event such as a wedding and as a result of their need for a 'quick fix' gimmick, they fail.

Here are a few very basic and easy to follow rules which will help anybody to drop some unwanted poundage from their waistline.

* To start the ball rolling in the right direction you need to work out your current daily calories and chop it down. Not drastically, but sufficiently so you notice a difference in the amount of food that you eat. Dropping by 10% to 15% is fine, but nothing more than that at the beginning.

* Next up is protein. If you like to snack during the day try to load up on foods which are rich in protein. It impacts fat storage less than the other two macro nutrients so you'll be able to eat and enjoy it without the negatives of carbs or fats.

* Snack tubs are a fantastic addition to your weight loss routine. You are most vulnerable when at work during a long double shift with no healthy food in sight. You can literally feel the chocolate machine staring you down, right? We have all been there. Take four small tubs packed with a rich protein food and you will keep hunger at bay as well as reap the weight loss rewards of avoiding junk food without even thinking about it.

* When you lose weight you want to ensure it's bad weight which is coming off, i.e. you want to be losing fat not muscle. Even if you're a lady and have no intention to look like a bodybuilder, you do not want to be burning off muscle tissue. So when you drop your carbs down to lose weight like most dieters do, be sure to increase your protein intake. This will prevent your body from burning muscle and ensure you are only losing unwanted fat.

* Finally we discuss the the benefits of having a day off. Regardless of whether you need one or would simply like one, the benefits of taking a day off your diet at the end of each week far outweigh the downsides.

Temptation is our worst enemy when dieting, so it makes a lot of valid sense to take a day off each week. Label it a 'reward' or 'treat' if you wish, but basically this will help you to stick to your program for far longer. If you have ever known someone attempt a diet plan and fall spectacularly off the rails after about 3 weeks you'll know this makes perfect sense.

The fact is that day off gives you something to aim for during a tough week, too. If you are new to weight loss and are struggling to get through a difficult, testing week sometimes just having that light at the end of the tunnel to look forward to is more than enough to help you stay on track to reach your goals.

No matter whether you just want to drop a dress size or if you want to change your life completely, these simple facts are the basis of any successful long-term diet. Not only will you lose weight, but you will lose it quickly because the changes you are making are scientifically backed up without any need for gimmicks or miracle products. Better still, once gone the weight will actually stay off this time.
