Two Simple Weight Loss Tricks That Work
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.
As fitness instructors we know that there is so much misinformation when it comes to fat loss that it's almost criminal. Particularly online, where people constantly have an agenda to sell a miracle pill or extreme fat reducing product of some kind. These steps today are simple, proven and cost nothing.
The following two steps will help you to get past even the hardest block when trying to lose unwanted body fat.
The First Rule - Utilize Snack Tubs.
The Second Rule - Days Off Work.
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.
This week pick up a few relatively small snack boxes from a local department store and pack them with a protein rich food. This will not only keep you satisfied but also help your body to avoid bad fats.
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.
Our second tip is about taking days off from your new healthy eating regime. Whether you want to or not, it's great for your body and your mental state to take a day off every week or two and allow yourself to eat whatever you want. This is proven to actually increase fat loss results.
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.
Don't be too hard on yourself. You only want to build a better body, after all. Take a day off each week.
The increase in calories will not be large enough to have an impact on your overall progress, any junk food you consume is easily offset against eating well all week and most importantly it helps you to stick to your routine permanently this time.
Both of these steps are tried and tested. They work, it's as simple as that. Apply them to your diet today if you are trying to figure out how to lose weight and you will see positive results.
