The Four Most Important Aspects Of Losing Weight And Keeping It Off

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Russ Howe</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>When it comes to the world of fitness, most people cannot tell you how to lose weight and prevent it from piling straight back on the moment you come off your healthy eating routine. In today's post you will discover why it's not rocket science.<br /> <br /> The good news is you're not alone in your problem. In fact, well over half of the gym population in the UK and USA have no idea how to drop unwanted body fat, such is the level of confusion surrounding this controversial topic.<br /> <br /> Yet despite the masses of people looking for an answer to this problem and the countless so-called miracle fixes to it, it remains one of health and fitness' biggest troublesome areas. There are a few things you can do right now, today, in order to fire up your body for a new healthy way of life, dropping unwanted body fat levels and keeping them down forever.<br /> <br /> The four rules to fat loss are as follows:<br /> <br /> 1. Increase your protein intake right now.<br /> <br /> 2. Stop cutting out carbohydrates and fats.<br /> <br /> 3. Get in your barn and find those old dumbbells. Lifting weights is highly recommended.<br /> <br /> 4. Ditch long cardio sessions and incorporate HIIT.<br /> <br /> From the three major nutrients we eat, protein has far less impact on our body's fat storage cells, making it the ideal food to eat if you are trying to shed fat. Despite this fact, it is often falsely labelled as something which is designed to build huge muscles and create a physique that most people, especially ladies, do not particularly want. Make no mistake about it, if you are trying to get leaner and more toned then you need to be eating regular protein either in food or supplement form. Around 1.5 grams for every kilogram of your goal body weight is adequate intake for the vast majority of people who workout.<br /> <br /> This will do you no good, of course, if you then fall for the commonly made mistake of avoiding fat and carbohydrate based foods. This misconception was first made popular in the early 2000's by celebrity diets who believed that cutting these two vital nutrients would lead to quicker weight loss. It did, but at a very high price. Individuals often felt very ill and then piled on any pounds they had lost the moment they went back to eating a regular diet. An eating plan high in protein, moderate in carbohydrate and quite high in healthy fats is a perfect match here.<br /> <br /> Next, it is time to dust off those old dumbbells in the garage and start lifting them on a regular basis.<br /> <br /> This may be a surprising addition to the list for many people, who falsely believe that weights are just for building big muscles. But weight training is among the most effective fitness methods to shift unwanted body fat. Not only will it help you to get leaner and fitter, the after-effect of your gym sessions will see your body's metabolism boosted for up to 14 hours - during which time you will burn a serious amount of body fat! <br /> <br /> If you have never previously trained with weights at all then you should be able to enjoy fabulous results by hitting a three day program each week. Try to focus on full body workouts, beginning with the safety of the resistance machines in your local gym before moving on to free bar work when you feel confident enough to do so.<br /> <br /> If your cardiovascular sessions are overly long and drawn out, there is another way to get more out of them without boring yourself to death on the treadmill. I am talking, of course, about high intensity interval training. This proven method has been around for over 20 years and is proven to be much more effective and time-friendly than regular aerobic cardiovascular exercise, although it has only really reached the mainstream in the last 10 years.<br /> <br /> By working with a combination of interval training and a resistance training program tailored to your individual needs and areas of concern, you will be able to see much more productivity from your time in the gym. This comes despite the fact that you will probably now be in the gym for less overall time than those around you who seem to be getting less results. Couple that with a high protein, high healthy fat, moderate carbohydrate eating plan and your new healthy lifestyle is right on the mark.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>More information: Receive proven facts on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oGRMaqPfdk">how to lose weight</a> with sought-after physique coach Russ Howe PTI. <a href="http://www.russhowepti.com">South Shields physique coach</a> posts new tips to his exercise and dieting blog weekly for his fans.</div><br /> </div><br />
