For the vast majority of people, figuring out how to lose weight is like rocket science. The truth is it needn't be. We live in an age where people crave instant results to the point where they actually get nowhere at all.
Despite the often over complicated plans out there which lead nowhere fast, you can see that the simple basics of a diet still work tremendously well.
The truth is we often over complicate the fat loss procedure. One of the reasons the health and fitness industry is a billion dollar business is because there are people waiting around every corner to sell you the next miracle supplement. So you're going to find people making it sound far harder than it actually is.
We don't learn about a car engine before we've taken our driving lessons, right? It's the same here. You do not want to dive into the finer details of nutrition before you have discovered the foundations.
If you overlook the basic rules and over complicate things too quickly you will notice that you are constantly obsessing over unimportant aspects and overlooking the things which actually work. Start by eating less food.
That's common sense, however, and the part where people mainly go wrong is figuring out how many carbohydrates, fats and protein to consume each day. This is where they feel things are too complicated for them to follow so instead they look for pre-made, ready-to-follow diet scripts instead of looking after themselves. Most of those diets cut out carbs and fats completely, leading to yo-yo dieting.
A proven split such as the 4-4-2 system, which comprises of 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein and 20% fats, is a great system to use.
There are a few other handy tips you could also apply including the usage of protein as snack food. Protein has far less impact on your body's fat storage cells so if you fancy a little snack at work you should definitely look to utilize that fact.
Be sure to also enjoy a day off your diet every week. Designate one day per week, call it a 'cheat day' if you wish, and simply enjoy it. There is a difference between enjoying your favorite foods and binge eating, of course, and this is something you will learn quickly. This little trick will eliminate the issue of craving junk food entirely.
While the rules in today's video and article are no doubt simpler than those you see in this months' celebrity magazine, they do actually work and are proven. Furthermore they are free. Stop struggling with learning how to lose weight and start getting results. The next step is establishing how to build muscle, which we will post soon enough.
