Simple Yet Effective Weight Loss Tips

By Russ Howe


As a gym instructor, over the last five years I have seen many people try to lose weight. Most pick up the latest celebrity diet plan or try to lose weight quickly for a special event such as a wedding and as a result of their need for a 'quick fix' gimmick, they fail.


Personal trainer Russ Howe PTI explains how to lose weight effectively.



So today we're going to focus on what DOES work. What actually helps you to cut your body fat sufficiently so that you can fit into that dress or outfit comfortably and, just as importantly, what takes very little time to achieve these results. Our five tips will help you below.

* To start the ball rolling in the right direction you need to work out your current daily calories and chop it down. Not drastically, but sufficiently so you notice a difference in the amount of food that you eat. Dropping by 10% to 15% is fine, but nothing more than that at the beginning.

* Secondly, protein has less impact on fat storage than carbs or fats so if you fancy a snack, protein up.

* Third we look at convenience snacks. Most people fall off the 'wagon' when they are at work without food and can see the vending machine in all it's glory staring them down all day. Take some small tubs to work, pack them with a healthy protein rich snack and you will be amazed how much weight this will take off you over the course of a couple of weeks.

* Fourth comes the tried and tested carb deficit. The basic rule when cutting down on bad carbs and bad fats is to also increase your protein intake. If you fail to do this you will hit a wall and find it impossible to lose any more weight after a couple of weeks.

* Last but certainly not least is our most important rule. Take a day off each week. Whether you want to or not, it's a good move. Why? Because something as simple as a day off allows you to do two very important things....

Temptation is our worst enemy when dieting, so it makes a lot of valid sense to take a day off each week. Label it a 'reward' or 'treat' if you wish, but basically this will help you to stick to your program for far longer. If you have ever known someone attempt a diet plan and fall spectacularly off the rails after about 3 weeks you'll know this makes perfect sense.

If you have had difficulty staying on a diet in the past you will absolutely love this one tip in particular. In fact this is the reason so many people fail. They cut out their favorite foods and punish themselves for wanting a better body. You don't have to. That approach leads nowhere fast. Keep enjoying your day off. Sometimes just knowing you have it coming up is enough to stop you from binge eating during the week.

These rules are proven to work. If you are trying to lose weight fast or trying to simply shift an few pounds and keep them off forever, each step here will put you on the right track immediately.
