What Do You Need To Do To Lose Weight?

By Howe Russ


If you ask most people for their top question in the gym there is little doubt what it would be. Most of us want to know how to lose weight both quickly and effectively. Despite the huge leaps forward we have made in scientific research and sports supplements, most people remain lost with their diet.

The industry itself is largely to blame for the amount of confusion in this area. Due to the fact that there is a lot of money to be made, you'll often see every supplement company or trainer promising easier results if you buy their product or join their client list. As a result, people are always trying to find a quick fix rather than just achieving their goals.

We have become so used to this mass confusion that we would now rather spend time looking for expensive, complex solutions when the truth is the old basics still work the best.

The steps we will explain here today are not for purchase, they are free. They're backed up with years of scientific research so you know they work and you may well be surprised by their simplicity.

Written below are three of the most important factors for your consideration.

* You must know where to get your calories from.

* To get the most from any diet you should combine it with regular physical activity.

* You need to be able to resist temptation while at work.

Most people have no idea how much to eat. In order to consume the right amount of calories per day simply take your goal body weight in pounds and multiply by twelve.

Celebrity obsessed culture is to blame for our tendency to cut calories far too drastically in a bid to experience quick weight loss. We highly recommend you do not follow that trend, because it encourages yo-yo dieting and actually brings about less results than proper dieting.

The most important factor in your diet is learning how to get the right amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats each day. If you can do this, you are on the right track to success. A great way to achieve this is to try to have 40% of your total calories from protein, 40% from carbohydrates and 20% from fat.

When it comes to exercise you will be pleased to hear that the gym has evolved since the days of prescribing massive cardiovascular exercise sessions on the treadmill. Science now knows that shorter, high intensity exercise sessions will help you to burn more calories and will take less time to complete.

There are various methods of exercise. You could opt for the traditional equipment such as a treadmill and some resistance training our you could get creative and train outdoors. The choice is yours, it all works.

The biggest test you will face is when you are in a situation with no meals prepared and a stressful day ahead. Yes, we're talking about work. It's no wonder so many people succumb to the temptation of the sweet shop while at their job. Protein is by far the superior nutrient when it comes to snacking.

Feel free to make up a few protein rich snacks for your day of work. This will help you to stay away from the vending machine and continue getting results even when you're not in the gym.

You no longer need to wonder how to lose weight effectively because today's three steps have actually told you the answer. It may have been a lot easier than you thought it was going to be, too. Usually if you ask somebody for advice on how to build muscle you will be met with a bunch of similar over complicated answers, so our next post will focus on that topic for you.
