Why You Cannot Stick To Your Diet

By Howe Russ


If you're like most people you've tried figuring out how to lose weight to no avail and the only consistent thing with your diet is that regularity that you fall off the rails each month. It's time to end that.

Despite the often over complicated plans out there which lead nowhere fast, you can see that the simple basics of a diet still work tremendously well.

The truth is we often over complicate the fat loss procedure. One of the reasons the health and fitness industry is a billion dollar business is because there are people waiting around every corner to sell you the next miracle supplement. So you're going to find people making it sound far harder than it actually is.

We don't learn about a car engine before we've taken our driving lessons, right? It's the same here. You do not want to dive into the finer details of nutrition before you have discovered the foundations.

Most people neglect the top rule of fat loss, which is using a calorie deficit. So what do we mean? Simply eating less than you do now, that's all. See, it's not as complicated as some make out...

That's common sense, however, and the part where people mainly go wrong is figuring out how many carbohydrates, fats and protein to consume each day. This is where they feel things are too complicated for them to follow so instead they look for pre-made, ready-to-follow diet scripts instead of looking after themselves. Most of those diets cut out carbs and fats completely, leading to yo-yo dieting.

The truth is you should look to aim for a split of 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates and 20% fats. That's right, you don't need to cut out fat.

We are also going to give you a couple of extra tips to enable you to enjoy continuous results. Snacking on protein is also a great factor when it comes to fat loss, because it impacts your body's storage cells far less than either of the other nutrients.

The most important rule, however, is perhaps one which you are least expecting. Take a day off every single week and eat what you want. By doing this you will stop yourself falling into the same old routine of crashing off your diet every month.

While the rules in today's video and article are no doubt simpler than those you see in this months' celebrity magazine, they do actually work and are proven. Furthermore they are free. Stop struggling with learning how to lose weight and start getting results. The next step is establishing how to build muscle, which we will post soon enough.
