If you're like most people, then you have probably asked for advice on how to lose weight in the past and been baffled by the many contradicting answers you have heard. Today we will be looking at five proven factors which will help you to remove doubt from your diet plan and get some serious results.
By combining a few simple, established rules with training styles such as hiit you will be able to elevate your progress above and beyond what you previously expected. []
Today we will cover a few proven principles as well as running you through how to get the most from high intensity interval training. We will begin by looking at the five most important factors when trying to drop unwanted body weight:
* Establish your daily calorie goal.
* Your protein/carbohydrates/fats ratio must be optimized.
* Get enough water throughout the day.
* Discover how to get more from your snacks with protein.
* Discover the best time to consume carbohydrates for fat loss results.
The first rule, before you do anything else at all, is to change your daily calorie intake. If you carry on eating the same volume of food you will find it harder to drop unwanted fat. Write down a food diary over the next couple of days and you'll get an idea of how many calories you are currently eating at the moment. Then simply take 200-300 off this target. If you want to drop the total by a large amount it would be best to do it in gradual stages over the course of a couple of weeks, so you don't shock the body into starvation mode.
After that, you are ready to begin optimizing your intake of the three macronutrients. This means looking at your protein, carbs and fat intake. Obtain around 40% of your calories from protein, the same from carbohydrates and a 20% portion from mostly healthy fats. This is known as the 4-4-2 idea. []
Third on the list is water. If you don't think you drink enough water than the chances are you're right. Your muscles are mainly made up for water, so in order to get that lean, full look to them you need to ensure your water consumption is on point. To do this, fill two one liter bottles at the start of the day and work through them as the day progresses.
Snacking on protein instead of sugary carbohydrates can be another important step to eliminating the common problems which cause diet failure. You can try this by packing some small protein rich sources into some small snack tubs and taking them to work with you.
This will eliminate your temptation of using the vending machine.
To ensure your carbohydrates are consumed mainly as fuel, rather than stored with the potential to be claimed as fat, you should consume your main carbohydrate intake around your busiest portion of the day. You don't need to pay attention to myths which state that you need to stay away from carbs at night, the fact is you can consume them at any point throughout the day if you are keeping active.
To get the most from these tips, you will already be seeing positive results. But the next step is to combine them with high intensity interval training. The most proven method of interval training is to combine four minutes of moderate activity and then thirty seconds.
Learning how to lose weight is an often confusing subject. With so many people giving different opinions on both diets and hiit workouts, sometimes it pays to put your faith in the latest science rather than following whatever the latest magazine trend is.
