Why You Keep Failing With Your Diet

By Russ Howe

If you're like most people you've tried figuring out how to lose weight to no avail and the only consistent thing with your diet is that regularity that you fall off the rails each month. It's time to end that.

We all want instant results and sometimes we get lost in marketing hype or over complicated miracle procedures rather than noticing the foundations first.

The truth is we often over complicate the fat loss procedure. One of the reasons the health and fitness industry is a billion dollar business is because there are people waiting around every corner to sell you the next miracle supplement. So you're going to find people making it sound far harder than it actually is.

We don't learn about a car engine before we've taken our driving lessons, right? It's the same here. You do not want to dive into the finer details of nutrition before you have discovered the foundations.

If you overlook the basic rules and over complicate things too quickly you will notice that you are constantly obsessing over unimportant aspects and overlooking the things which actually work. Start by eating less food.

There are a number of ways to diet and the second steps is to work out how much protien, carbohydrates and fat you require from your food every day. Rather than following a gimmick diet where you are told to remove all fat or all carbohydrates, leading to you piling your lost weight straight back on when you finish your plan, we will show you how to enjoy your food and get the weight loss results, too.

Try to aim for a split of 40% protein, 20% fat and 40% carbohydrates in your daily calories and you've got the basics nailed down immediately.

It is also shown that when you snack you could do a lot worse than choosing protein as your macro nutrient of choice. The next time you feel peckish at work try to attack a food high in protein content rather than the quick carb, bad fats associated with junk food.

The most important rule, however, is perhaps one which you are least expecting. Take a day off every single week and eat what you want. By doing this you will stop yourself falling into the same old routine of crashing off your diet every month.

While the rules in today's video and article are no doubt simpler than those you see in this months' celebrity magazine, they do actually work and are proven. Furthermore they are free. Stop struggling with learning how to lose weight and start getting results. The next step is establishing how to build muscle, which we will post soon enough.
