At some stage most of us will hit a plateau with our diet. If you are looking at how to lose weight and perhaps struggling to push on to the next level, you will find the two simple steps given in today's article to be incredibly useful.
The steps we bring you today simply work. They are proven and they will not cost you a thing. In a world where every man and his dog only seems to want to sell so-called miracle products or push certain supplements at people to make a commission, we know you will enjoy today's article as it will never cost you a penny.
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.
Russ Howe PTI teaches how to lose weight quickly with today's golden principles.
The First Rule - Utilize Snack Tubs.
Rule Two - Days Off.
Most people fall off a diet at least once in their life. Heck, I have known people to do it almost monthly. There is one reason which causes this more than any other and that is the temptation of your favorite junk foods. Normally this happens when you are at your job and don't have any food with you. The vending machine is right there, after all. We've been there before probably just like you have.
It's stocked with unhealthy foods. Believe it or not, your body doesn't actually crave that chocolate or those crisps as much as you think. You long for the quick fix satisfaction you associate with it, that's all.
You do not have those yearning hunger pains in your stomach because your muscles are desperate to ingest a chocolate bar. The nutritional values are terrible, after all. Instead, you crave it because you associate it with a quick fix feeling of being happy and comfort eating. This can tear your diet apart.
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.
The second tip is just as important. Taking a day off your diet each week may seem like a nonsense idea but the fact remains most people fall off their healthy lifestyle plan because they attack it too hard and deny themselves their favorite foods from day one.
If you cut out every food you used to love you will feel like your diet is a complete chore. It becomes the enemy. Mentally you start seeing it as a struggle. This is why so many people fail.
Give yourself a break. In fact, I mean that literally. Give yourself a twenty four hour break every week.
Sure you might consume more calories on this day than the rest of the week but you cannot do very much damage here unless you deliberately go crazy. Remember, there is a difference between a cheat day and Christmas day. In fact, enjoying your favorite snacks or junk foods on one day per week or one day every two weeks actually turns out to be a good thing for your fat loss goals because you will find you can stick to your healthy lifestyle for far longer than you have ever done before.
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.
