Today we will discuss two simple steps which will teach you how to lose weight and, better still, we show you why they work every single time they are applied. Most of us hit a wall with our fat loss quest at some point so today's plateau-busting tips will help you reach a new personal best when it comes to your physique.
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.
When trying to get rid of unwanted body fat, there's a couple of really easy to follow steps which will help you get there faster. They are even easier than you probably think right now.
The First Rule - Utilize Snack Tubs.
Rule Number Two - Take A Day Off.
The majority of people who find it hard to stick to a diet tell us that their biggest vice is snacking on junk food. Usually this happens when they are at work. This makes sense. Half way through a long shift at your job, with work piling up and stress levels climbing higher it is easy to give in to the temptation of the vending machine staring at you from across the break room. We get it.
Some people crave junk food just because they tell themselves they aren't supposed to have it. We call this forbidden fruit syndrome, and it's a sign of somebody who isn't ready to diet. Others, however, simply lust after the quick fix feeling of hunger satisfaction that comes from scoffing a chocolate bar. Their body doesn't want the food itself, it's more of a mental thing.
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.
By packing a few small snack tubs into your satchel each morning, each filled with a small protein rich meal, you enable your body to completely bypass any tendency to long for junk food. The protein will also have a smaller impact on your body cell's fat storage.
By simply giving yourself a ready made alternative you will find out how serious about your fat loss regime you really are. For most people it kills temptation immediately.
Our second tip is about taking days off from your new healthy eating regime. Whether you want to or not, it's great for your body and your mental state to take a day off every week or two and allow yourself to eat whatever you want. This is proven to actually increase fat loss results.
You shouldn't ever feel like you are punishing yourself just for wanting a better body. Cutting out all of your favorite foods is the number one way to fall off your diet in spectacular fashion. You will begin to crave things you used to enjoy, and rightly so.
Don't be too hard on yourself. You only want to build a better body, after all. Take a day off each week.
You may eat more calories but not enough to wreck your entire week's progress. You may eat junk food but again not enough to derail an entire week's worth of good eating and exercise. In fact, enjoying your favorite foods on one specific day each week gives you a target every single week, something to look forward to. It helps you stick to your routine without even realizing it.
Simply drag and drop these two simple rules into your current diet and you will see results. So many people ask us how to lose weight in the gym and they expect an over complicated answer, but sometimes the simple solutions is all you need.
