Why You Cannot Stick To 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.

You will be amazed at the results you can achieve by applying the basics of a diet before you try to move things to the next level. Are you ready to go?

Before you shoot for the latest celebrity diet or so-called super food, implement the basics such as working towards a calorie deficit. Eating less than you do now is the number one rule when it comes to cutting weight quickly but effectively.

That's common sense, however, and the part where people mainly go wrong is figuring out how many carbohydrates, fats and protein to consume each day. This is where they feel things are too complicated for them to follow so instead they look for pre-made, ready-to-follow diet scripts instead of looking after themselves. Most of those diets cut out carbs and fats completely, leading to yo-yo dieting.

The truth is you should look to aim for a split of 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates and 20% fats. That's right, you don't need to cut out fat.

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.

These tips are the foundations of a solid eating plan. Do these from now on and you will begin to see results in your quest. Stop wondering how to lose weight or how to build muscle. The truth is often that the simple rules are the most effective.
