If you are one of the many people wondering how to lose weight and keep it off you're in for a treat today as we share with you the top five proven rules to lasting fat loss. As a fitness instructor I am asked about this subject every day, so you are certainly not alone in your position.
I'm sure you have known somebody who has got themselves into a state where they believe they literally cannot drop the pounds no matter what they try to do or what diet they try. This is something often said by serial dieters or yo-yo dieters. In the majority of cases this is simply because they're blatantly overlooking the proven facts because that would almost be 'too easy', or 'too good to be true'. It simply HAS to be more complicated, right? Actually, no.
By the time you have read the contents of today's article you will feel a lot better about yourself and your position (because you are certainly no alone in it) but more importantly you will be able to achieve your goals.
We start by looking at your calorie intake. Are you eating too much? Are you eating too little? The latter is perhaps even worse, as you're possibly starving yourself of your favorite foods and still getting nothing to show for it. The trick is to find the balance between the two. How many friends have tried the latest celebrity diet only to pile the fat straight back on a month or two down the line? This is because they often cut their calorie intake so drastically or deprive their body of necessary nutrients (usually carbs).
To find a good target calorie intake simply work out your desired body weight in lbs and multiply the figure by twelve. This gives you a 'ballpark' figure to aim for. Don't become a calorie counter, if you go over or under slightly it isn't going to matter.
The real trick comes in getting your macronutrients (protein, carbs and fats) sorted out. This is where most people don't pay enough attention to their diet but, trust me, it's where the results are there for the taking. For instance, a guy eating a healthy 2000 calorie per day meal plan would get far superior results to a guy eating a unhealthy 2000 calorie per day meal plan, right? Of course he would.
One of the best ways to achieve this is to use the 4-4-2 system. That means 40% of your calories come from protein, 40% come from carbohydrates and 20% come from fats. So this is how to work that out:
With your protein intake you need to establish 40% of your calorie target and then divide the answer by 4. That's how many grams of protein to eat every day.
For carbs do the exact same sum.
For fats you should take your daily calorie target and figure out 20% of that. Divide your answer by 9 and you have your daily fat goal.
If you can hit that daily target of macronutrients you will notice that you don't even need to count your calories. The only reason we must set the calorie target is so we can then work out our macronutrient split, that's all.
This solid diet plan is the first step to building the body and the new lifestyle you are striving for. Go for it. No matter whether this is your first attempt at building a better physique or you've tried a dozen times but got nowhere in the past. Now you have the facts, use them to your advantage.
Most people never figure out how to lose weight in their lifetime, some dieters have been doing the same things for a decade and seeing no results. By now, you should be feeling confident in yourself that you will finally be able to get some hard earned rewards for your efforts because you now know the science driven, researched backed answers on setting up a great weight loss plan - straight from a personal trainer!
