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.

Despite the often over complicated plans out there which lead nowhere fast, you can see that the simple basics of a diet still work tremendously well.

Fat loss is not rocket science. This is a lucrative industry because there are people waiting around every corner to sell you their must have product, their next big thing. If you keep falling for it they will keep doing it.

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?

Most people neglect the top rule of fat loss, which is using a calorie deficit. So what do we mean? Simply eating less than you do now, that's all. See, it's not as complicated as some make out...

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.

We are also going to give you a couple of extra tips to enable you to enjoy continuous results. Snacking on protein is also a great factor when it comes to fat loss, because it impacts your body's storage cells far less than either of the other nutrients.

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.
