Two Steps To Simple Weight Loss

By Howe Russ


Today we will discuss two simple steps which will teach you how to lose weight and, better still, we show you why they work every single time they are applied. Most of us hit a wall with our fat loss quest at some point so today's plateau-busting tips will help you reach a new personal best when it comes to your physique.

The steps we bring you today simply work. They are proven and they will not cost you a thing. In a world where every man and his dog only seems to want to sell so-called miracle products or push certain supplements at people to make a commission, we know you will enjoy today's article as it will never cost you a penny.

The following two steps will help you to get past even the hardest block when trying to lose unwanted body fat.

Rule One - Snack Tubs.

Rule Number Two - Take A Day Off.

Ask anyone who has tried dieting and failed what their biggest enemy was and they will probably all tell you the same thing. Temptation. Usually temptation strikes when you're at work. You don't have any prepared food with you and you can literally feel the vending machine staring you down. We have all been there at some point.

Some people crave junk food just because they tell themselves they aren't supposed to have it. We call this forbidden fruit syndrome, and it's a sign of somebody who isn't ready to diet. Others, however, simply lust after the quick fix feeling of hunger satisfaction that comes from scoffing a chocolate bar. Their body doesn't want the food itself, it's more of a mental thing.

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.

Before heading off to work pack three or four small snack tubs with protein rich snacks. Snacking on protein feeds your muscles and also has far less impact on your body's fat storage system.

One of the main reasons we find ourselves frequenting the vending machine is the lack of any real alternative. This simple little trick is proven to return great results.

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.

Most people how try to lose fat go too hard too fast. They cut out their favorite foods and think they need to live off 'rabbit food' to get slimmer. This is nonsense, and a sure fire way to fall off your plan very fast.

Don't be too hard on yourself. You only want to build a better body, after all. Take a day off each week.

Sure you might consume more calories on this day than the rest of the week but you cannot do very much damage here unless you deliberately go crazy. Remember, there is a difference between a cheat day and Christmas day. In fact, enjoying your favorite snacks or junk foods on one day per week or one day every two weeks actually turns out to be a good thing for your fat loss goals because you will find you can stick to your healthy lifestyle for far longer than you have ever done before.

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.
