Fat Loss in Ten Easy Steps
2) Initially deduct 10%(to a maximum of 500Kcal)off the total maintenance calories. Drastically reducing your calories will result in muscle and water loss – not fat loss.
3)Divide your calories over 5 or 6 meals rather than 2 or 3. You should aim to eat every 3-4 hours.
4)Cut out all simple carbohydrates (except straight after exercise, eat whole grain, high fiber foods.)
5) Exercise at least three times per week for 30 minutes of moderately intense cardio. This will aid in the creation of a calorie deficit and boost fat loss in your body.
6)Make simple substitutions in your diets, such as using a sweetener instead of sugar, diet drinks instead of full-sugar drinks, and slimmer cuts of meat. These modifications may be challenging at first, but you will adjust and save valuable calories every day.
7) Drink plenty of water – at least 2 liters each day - dehydration causes your body to work less efficiently, making fat reduction more difficult.
8) Eat a low-carbohydrate, low-fat, moderate-protein diet. The South Beach Diet, in my opinion, is great.
9)Keep a food diary to track how many calories you consume; it's all too easy to overeat.
10) Adding supplements to your diet can help you lose weight faster. A high-protein diet can aid muscle preservation (more muscle means an increase in metabolism). There are also fat loss tablets that help raise your metabolism, which is beneficial because your metabolism might slow down while you're dieting for long periods of time.
