In a recent survey, 87% of people in the UK reported that they feel like they don't have time to lose weight and can't fit regular exercise into their busy lifestyles. Today we are going to be looking at this and revealing the simple rules which will teach you how to lose weight without dedicating your entire life to the gym.
Usually the reason we fall into this negative mindset comes down to simple little things which turn out to be nonsense. For instance, we all know one friend who seems to live at the gym and that can lead us to believe we would need to do that if we wanted to get some results. It's not true. You can make an incredible change with a few small, easy changes to your existing lifestyle.
In fact, most of the changes which will lead to weight loss can be made immediately and will begin helping you get results right now, before you have even considered hitting the gym. There are a few simple things which most people get wrong with their diet.
* You shouldn't buy into celebrity, quick fix diets. They don't work.
* Remember you don't just want to lose weight, you want to lose fat. Cutting down on carbohydrates is fine but you'll need to increase your protein intake otherwise you'll start simply burning off muscle and retaining unwanted body fat. Not a good place to be.
* Work at a slight calorie deficit and you will lose weight, it's that simple.
* Be sure to make the most of 'cheat' days.
* Your body can use protein more effectively than either carbs or fats, so if you fancy a quick snack try to load up on something which has a decent protein content.
Once you have the basics laid down you'll notice you begin to notice fat dropping off and, you guessed it, you haven't even walked through the doors of your local gym yet. When it comes to working out there is a ridiculous perception that you must spend two hours per day or, if you are female, that you need to do endless cardiovascular exercise after work every night. It's not true.
You can get a fantastic workout in under fifteen minutes per day with no equipment. If you've been genuinely looking for a way to shed some unwanted pounds you'll be delighted to hear that, but if you are one of the many who is using lack of time as an excuse to avoid taking responsibility you now find yourself in a situation where it's impossible. There are many people like this and we want to ensue you are not one of them, because results cannot be achieved without your efforts.
Don't be fooled into assuming that you need high tech equipment to get a great exercise session. You do not. In a minimum amount of time you can create a fantastic workout session which hits all of the major muscles in your body and burns a lot of unwanted body fat. Better still, you can do it without the need of any equipment at all!
The basics still work the best when it comes to exercise and fitness. Go back to proven exercises like pull ups, push ups and squats because the science behind them stands tall above any other exercise in the book. Circuit style training can be done using the majority of basic body weight movements and, believe us, it's not as easy as it looks written down on paper!
If you've been trying to figure out how to lose weight and getting nowhere, or telling yourself I don't have time to lose weight because of my lifestyle you now know the truth. There is nothing stopping you from accomplishing your goals. The ball sits in your court now, use it.
