If you're like most people, then you have probably asked for advice on how to lose weight in the past and been baffled by the many contradicting answers you have heard. Today we will be looking at five proven factors which will help you to remove doubt from your diet plan and get some serious results.
Once you have laid down the foundations of your diet with the 5 rules given to you here, you will then learn how to combine each of them with hiit sessions in order to push your fat loss results to a whole new level. []
By combining high intensity interval training with the tips given below, you will be able to achieve maximum results both inside and outside of your local gym. Let's start with a brief description of the five rules:
* Work out your calorie consumption.
* Learn how to optimize your ratio of protein, carbs and fat.
* You must drink plenty of water.
* Learn how to use protein to eliminate junk food and snack cravings.
* Learn the best and worst times of the day to take on carbohydrate heavy foods.
Before you go any further, the first thing you must do is establish how many calories you are eating. If you are not sure then grab a little black book and start writing down everything which passes your lips for the next day. This will give you a general idea, it doesn't need to be an exact science. Once you've established this you simply need to set a slight deficit to begin getting some general results. Chop around 200 calories from your existing total to begin with.
Once you have done that, you can then look at where those calories are coming from. Without changing your calories too much, you can generate great results by simply ensuring those calories are arriving in your body from better sources. For example, somebody eating 2000 calories from junk food would look far worse than someone getting 2000 from healthy foods, despite the fact they are eating the same overall. A good way to get this balance in check is to use the 4-4-2 concept, which is 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fats. []
Water is an often undervalued addition to any diet plan. Most of us presume that we drink enough of the stuff but, in reality, very few of us actually do. We should drink 8-10 glasses per day in total, which is around two liters. Do not buy into the myth that drinking more water will cause you to retain fluids around your midsection, this is actually a sign of somebody who doesn't get enough throughout the day.
Of course, one of the main factors causing so many people to fall off their healthy diet is the temptation to snack on junk food while at work. You can eradicate this temptation by taking some small snack tubs to work with you. Put protein rich foods in there and you'll not only stay away from the vending machine, you'll also notice that protein snacks greatly elevate your success in the gym.
Not only will you stop craving junk foods, you'll also have far more energy.
Finally, there are so many myths surrounding carbohydrates. Your body needs them in order to function and you cannot lose weight without them, so do not make the mistake of avoiding them. However, you can increase results by learning the best times to eat them. It is a myth that you shouldn't eat carbs at night. The truth is you should plan your carb intake around your busiest periods of the day so that your body can use them for fuel, rather than storing them. If you are busy during the night then there is nothing wrong with enjoying some carbohydrates at this time
Next, you should look to use high intensity interval training in your workout routine to take these results one step further. You can do this by jumping on a bike and setting the timer for 30 minutes, switching between a moderate intensity to a thirty second burst of maximal effort every four minutes.
Most people get lost when they ask for information on how to lose weight because many of the answers you hear are based on little more than popular opinion. Today, you have discovered the facts on both healthy weight loss and how to get the benefits of hiit alongside your new lifestyle. By basing your program around proven facts, the chances of long-term success are far more likely.
