By Russ Howe


There are two types of people who are lost in the gym. Those who are trying to work out how to build muscle more effectively and those desperately struggling to figure out how to lose weight. What you will find today is the solution for the latter group as we unearth the five proven rules of simple fat loss.

The following steps are proven and very, very effective not only when it comes to removing unwanted body fat but also when it comes to keeping it off in future.

It's time to get some results!
See the top 5 rules regarding how to lose weight and keep it off.


Lay these rules at the foundation of your diet regime from now on and you will enjoy continued, long lasting success with your physique.

1) Understand Your Calories

2) Know When To Increase Protein

3) If You Want A Snack, Shoot For Protein

4) Snack Tubs Rule

5) Enjoy Your Favorite Foods On A Designated Day Off

While some of the rules above probably make perfect sense right away, I'm sure there are a few in there which may cause confusion so now we'll go through each one and explain how to implement them. The top rules focuses on your calorie intake. Be sure that if you want to lose fat or drop body weight you will need to establish your current daily calorie intake and begin operating on less calories per day.

When we diet we tend to hear all kinds of bad things about carbohydrates and therefore we like to cut down the number of carbs we eat. That's fine, it will help your progress, but you need to do it correctly. Don't just drop all the carbs from your diet. Cut down if you want but ensure you still get some in your system every day and ensure you increase your protein intake, too.

Rules three and four cover snacking. The most common reason for people failing time and time again when it comes to weight loss is their inability to stop snacking through boredom. Usually, hunger strikes when you're at work and don't have any healthy food around you.

Instead of just packing a lunch, we'd recommend purchasing a few smaller tubs and stuffing them with some protein rich foods. These snack options will keep you away from the vending machine, plus by aiming for protein rich content you'll notice your body stores considerably less fat.

On to the last rule, which is probably the most misunderstood. There is a common tendency for people who are dieting to feel the need to punish themselves by cutting out all of their favorite foods. Where does this lead them? Failure. They fall off the rails two months in and pile the weight straight back on. Take a designated day off each week and you'll avoid this pitfall.

As you'll notice when you see our future posts, if you are one of the gym users trying to work out how to build muscle you can use these proven tips and just shuffle a few of the details around to get results there. Today's post, of course, is designed with those trying to work out how to lose weight in mind and gives you a very strong position to start from in your journey to a new, better lifestyle.
