By Russ Howe-P.t.i.


If you are one of the many thousands of people trying to figure out how to lose weight safely and effectively, you'll be pleased to read today's post. We are going to focus on the main areas where people go wrong and show you four or five simple, proven steps to building a leaner, fitter you

Many people get lost in the sea of information surrounding how to diet and, as a result of all the conflicting information out there, they never fully commit to their quest to drop some unwanted pounds.

We have become so used to this mass confusion that we would now rather spend time looking for expensive, complex solutions when the truth is the old basics still work the best.


Watch the simple guide on how to lose weight featuring personal trainer Russ Howe PTI.



Unlike most other advice on this topic, we have nothing to sell you. We aren't here to give you a miracle product or a dieting pill, so what you're going to get is proven, simple advice which has research to back it up.

Here are the three fundamental rules to a good diet.

* Learn how to control your diet by discovering how much to consume and what type of food to look out for.

* Exercise is your diet's best friend.

* Once you have mastered the art of resisting temptation you will be able to reach your goals far easier.

To establish you daily calorie intake you simply need to multiply your target body weight, in pounds, by the figure twelve. Easier than you thought, right?

Most people who struggle to get rid of their belly are shocked to discover that they are actually under-eating. Like we said, it's not about how much you eat it's about where you get it from.

The most important step in your diet is splitting your calories between protein, fat and carbohydrates. Despite popular belief, you should never cut one of these nutrients out of your diet and if you do it'll only cause a negative outcome. A great split for your calories is 40% from carbohydrate sources, 20% from fats and 40% from protein rich foods.

Exercise is particularly useful to helping you achieve your long term goal and it will also enable you to achieve a toned appearance once you reach your target body weight. Try performing a few high intensity interval sessions each week in partnership with your healthy eating plan. You will elevate your heart rate and burn a lot of unwanted body fat in the process.

A combination of cardio and weights would be best, but if you are just starting out then you could literally just go for a brisk walk or swim. Exercise is exercise, no matter where it takes place.

The biggest test you will face is when you are in a situation with no meals prepared and a stressful day ahead. Yes, we're talking about work. It's no wonder so many people succumb to the temptation of the sweet shop while at their job. Protein is by far the superior nutrient when it comes to snacking.

So it makes sense to pack a few small protein rich snacks into your satchel before work and use them wisely throughout the day. Not only is it going to keep your diet on track, but it's going to curb your hunger while at your job.

As you can see, the confusion surrounding how to lose weight easily clears when you look at the proven principles. Most of the fitness industry suffers from this issue, ask anybody how to build muscle at your local gym and you'll get similarly mixed answers. Now that you know these three principles you are well on your way to success.
