The question of how to lose weight properly often arises in gyms. Many people are misled into believing that the science behind weight loss is much more complex than it actually is. Today, you will discover the proven facts.
Furthermore, we will take five of the most extensively researched factors behind fat loss and then show you how to combine them with a HIIT program for maximum results. []
Once you have been able to lay down the ground work with the five diet principles, you can add a high intensity interval training routine alongside it to elevate results one step further. Let's start with a quick look through the diet principles:
* Establish your daily calorie goal.
* Learn how to optimize your ratio of protein, carbs and fat.
* You must drink plenty of water.
* Learn how to use protein to eliminate junk food and snack cravings.
* Discover how to ration your carbohydrates for maximum results.
Before you go any further, the first thing you must do is establish how many calories you are eating. If you are not sure then grab a little black book and start writing down everything which passes your lips for the next day. This will give you a general idea, it doesn't need to be an exact science. Once you've established this you simply need to set a slight deficit to begin getting some general results. Chop around 200 calories from your existing total to begin with.
When you have set your total calorie target, it is then time to figure out where those calories need to come from. This is the part where most individuals have little idea how to get the most out of their diets. To ensure you are hitting all of the right things with your meals, try using the 40-40-20 concept. This means 40% of your total calorie goal should now come from protein, 40% from carbohydrates and 20% from fats. These figures can be changed slightly as they work best when they are not kept down to an exact science, but the baseline figures do work very nicely. []
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.
You can maximize your snacks by using protein rather than junk foods. Your body can utilize this for fuel far more effectively and it also enables you to protect your lean muscle tissue during a busy day at the office. Take two or three small tubs, each packed with a rich protein source such as tuna or whey protein, in your rucksack to work with you and enjoy them throughout your shift.
Not only will you stop craving junk foods, you'll also have far more energy.
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.
