5 Steps to Lose Weight
In this article I am going to tell you step by step what you are going to need to do if you plan to lose that extra weight, and even more, what you need to do if you truly plan on keeping it off.
Step 1) The first thing you do before you start your weight loss journey is to find out exactly why you want to lose the weight in the first place.
A lot of people over look this part, when, in fact, this is a crucial part of the formula because if you know exactly why you are doing something then you are more likely to stick with it and be committed.
And believe me, when it comes to weight loss, commitment is the name of the game.
On those days that you don't feel like working out, you can go back and ask yourself, why am I trying to lose weight, what is the purpose? If your reason is strong enough, it should over power that urge of not wanting to go to the gym.
So make sure you figure this part out.
Step 2) Next you are going to want to do some extensive research on the physiology of losing fat and keeping muscle.
This is important because a lot of the weight that people lose most of the time is muscle mass instead of fat.
This is due to their lack of knowledge in this subject matter.
As a basic rule of thumb, this is why you want to take in a lot of protein throughout the day, but don't over do it.
Do your research! Step 3) Let me tell you this.
When it comes to fat loss, nutrition is probably 70 percent of the battle, where as exercise is only 30 percent.
A lot of people exercise their asses off only to see minimal results because of the lack of a proper diet, and I was one of them until I discovered this shocking truth.
So, you should definitely learn all that you can about nutrition.
Personally my diet consist of 6 smaller meals a day that contain 40 percent proteins, 40 percent carbohydrates, and 20 percent natural fats for each meal.
Natural fats can be found in natural peanut butter and nuts.
Step 4) Once you find out all you need to know about proper nutrition it is time to face the last 30 percent of the battle which is exercise.
You should be doing at least 20 minutes of cardio every day.
If you have a problem with running or jogging find yourself an elliptical machine at your local gym.
Those are awesome for burning unwanted calories and fat.
And keep in mind, you don't have to become a doctor of nutrition before you can start exercising.
You can do them and learn about nutrition at the same time.
Step 5) You have got to be consistent and committed.
This is a must.
Don't get discouraged by the results you see your first day, or first week.
I'm going to tell you now, you probably aren't going to start noticing any results for at leasta month.
It was after a month that I really started noticing a degree of difference.
But month after month, I got better results and better results.
It doesn't happen over night, so just stick with it, and you won't be disappointed.
