It's time to get moving.
* Use a calorie deficit to get started.
Work at cutting your daily intake of calories by about two hundred per day until you reach your target, rather than dropping your intake in half suddenly. This small step approach actually yields better results for you. Drop by no more than 200 per day til you hit your goal per day then maintain it from there. By eating less calories, you will lose weight. Particularly if you do it this way and apply the following steps on top of this one.
* You will need more protein when dieting.
Even if you are not concerned with getting muscular you don't want to be losing muscle. Lose the bad weight, i.e. fat, not the good weight. Your body's natural reaction to you eating less fat and carbs is to look to burn muscle instead. Kill this and force it to hang onto your muscle by consuming more protein when dieting.
* Protein is the perfect snack for burning fat.
Protein doesn't encourage your body to store fat as much as either carbohydrates or fats. So next time you want a snack, go with protein. Try turkey, fish, chicken or even a protein shake. You will be amazed at the results gained from this little technique, as your body will begin adapting and naturally storing less bad fats. Once you get into this routine you will literally never go back.
* Carry healthy snack pots in your back pack every day.
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.
* Take a day off every week.
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.
