10 Weight Loss Tips

1. Burn more calories than you consume. If this makes you go: "D-uuuh!!", snap out of it and think that this fundamental aspect of dieting excapes countless clueless--and doomed--dieters. Tabloids can claim to have the "miracle" foods that will allow you to eat like a pig and let the pounds melt away, but it is a burden. 2. Determine your base metabolism, and specify a target calorie targets approximately 500 calories below. I wrote an article for setting up your metabolism, so look it up in the article archive if you need a refresher. 3. Keep an honest log. Estimates of how many calories you stuff yourself with each meal and tally totals to ensure that you stay within your target calorie targets. Convenient "mistakes", in-estimates and forgetfulness allows you to eat more now, but you defeat the whole point of dieting. 4. Actively choose good sources of fat. This may sound stupid advice--not recommended that you AVOID fat when dieting? Yes, Yes and no. You must keep consuming some fat, just not going overboard. Avoid butter, bacon, whole milk, Coconuts and plague. Instead, make use of olive oil (virgin) and fatty acids, fish. Peanut butter is an interesting topic. I used to put it in the same class as the "bad" fats. It belongs there, packaging saturated fat as the artery-clogging trans fatty acids. But based on extremely unscientific testimonies of others as well as personal experiences, it seems to me that a handful of peanuts every now and then when dieting can do wonders to keep energy levels while not pure havoc with your overall diet. Strange and illogical? You betcha. But it happens just so still, kind of like the wind which, although technically not to. 5. Eat small but frequent meals throughout the day. You've heard it a million times, I am sure, but the fact remains: to keep a steady level of blood sugar, you need to eat small, balanced meals. 6. not wimpy on weight training. When you diet, you risk to lose muscle mass most often. To avoid this, keep pumping iron, and be diligent about it! 7. avoid alcohol. Given that the roast-season is upon us, it can be hard when your friends get ice-cold brewskis. The solution is simple: only associate with other Bodybuilders, so you will at least be the lone dweeb sipping a diet soda! For those of you who have the ridiculous idea that your life should not revolve around bodybuilding: anchor. 8. Do cardio sparingly.Allow 45 minutes on the stairmaster every day is a great way to bring pound out faster.2 hours is not so great, because you are bound to start losing muscle mass.When and how much is the individual (and depending on what you had to eat earlier in the day) but avoid cardio sessions on more than 1 hour.If you need to do a session on the penalty, morning and evening.Also remember to stay in the zone of 65-70% heart rate for optimal fat burn.9. Schedule "cheating" days stay sane.Dieting is not fun, no matter how gung-ho-ho and motivated you are when you start, you'll have days when everything is dark, and the world is out to get you. get treatment once a week on a day fixed in (Saturday is good) as it gives you something to look forward to a juicy burger is bold and calorie-dense, but if you prepare by doing extra cardio for three days in advance, you get the right target for week 10.Don't be afraid of soya; I used to avoid fake-köttprodukter, but has been married to a vegetarian for 3 + years I've tried soy hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken patties, even riblets which taste just like the real thing; And here is the kicker: soy protein products are mainly protein!, soy protein is not the highest quality out there, but if you drink a glass of milk or have any other high-quality protein source with it you can bump up the overall quality in a hurry. Furthermore, soy has a number of major health benefits when consumed in moderation and contains very little fat.
