* Learn how to work at a calorie deficit.
What does this mean? Like most things in fitness it isn't as hard as it sounds. A calorie deficit basically means eating less calories per day (or per week) than you do right now. People often go wrong here though, cutting so drastically that their body enters starvation mode and actually stores fat. Don't starve yourself, cut out no more than 200 calories per day until you have reached your daily target rather than making a sudden, shocking jump. This step alone is where many people get lost.
* Increase your daily protein.
Even if you are not concerned with getting muscular you don't want to be losing muscle. Lose the bad weight, i.e. fat, not the good weight. Your body's natural reaction to you eating less fat and carbs is to look to burn muscle instead. Kill this and force it to hang onto your muscle by consuming more protein when dieting.
* Snack on protein rich foods.
Protein doesn't encourage your body to store fat as much as either carbohydrates or fats. So next time you want a snack, go with protein. Try turkey, fish, chicken or even a protein shake. You will be amazed at the results gained from this little technique, as your body will begin adapting and naturally storing less bad fats. Once you get into this routine you will literally never go back.
* Use our tubs approach.
Easily the top diet tip of many trainers, this simple technique is sworn by in our gym. Carrying small tubs in your rucksack with you to work, each container filled with a light and healthy snack of around 50 to 100 kcals will allow you to beat the one issue which brings most people off their diet. Picture it, you are half way through a hard shift at work with no food and the vending machine is calling your name.. We have all been there. This step nullifies this action completely.
* Enjoy your day off.
Cutting your favorite junk foods is a bad move when on any diet. Why? Because it leads you to fall off the rails and quit after a few weeks. Enjoy one day per week where you literally don't count your food and eat how you want. You will put on some bad weight here for sure, but overall it will help you to stick to your goal far longer.
These simple, time proven tricks have the backing of professional athletes and trainers alike. Apply them to your current regime and you will have your mind blown by the possibilities you unlock. If you are serious about building a better physique and figuring out how to lose weight properly, you can begin today.
