Why You Cannot Stick To Your Diet

By Howe Russ


For the vast majority of people, figuring out how to lose weight is like rocket science. The truth is it needn't be. We live in an age where people crave instant results to the point where they actually get nowhere at all.

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

No matter how many people try to tell you otherwise, fat loss is not difficult. It's marketing 101. It is far easier to sell a new product to someone if you make them feel like they need it, they cannot succeed without it. This is why the world of diet is often needlessly over complicated.

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.

A proven split such as the 4-4-2 system, which comprises of 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein and 20% fats, is a great system to use.

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.

Most people fall off their diet because they feel they have to cut out their own favorite junk foods. This is baloney. Take a day off each week and enjoy yourself. You cannot undo consistent healthy eating with one day, unless you go particularly crazy, so feel free to enjoy your favorite food. This will help you to stick to your diet in the bigger picture.

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.
