As you know, there are a lot of ways to lose weight. But, in fact, the most reasonable, effective, easiest and quickest one is combining workout and a diet which allows you to lose almost four times more weight than any other method taken alone.
First of all, remember that slim shape does not mean starvation and severe gym regimen which can result in some unpredictable backlash. If you want to achieve the required results and feel healthy preserve these simple rules:
– Include fiber and protein in your meals. They will help you to fight hunger and energize your workouts. In fact, protein is not only useful for its nutritive properties but is also of great help to a dieter as it prevents one of the weight loss side effects - the loss of metabolism revving muscle.
As for fiber – it fills a stomach faster and digests well. And so you eat less but with maximum use.
– Stick to 1500 calories a day. Your daily calories amount can be distributed in the following way: 400 calorie breakfast, 300 calorie lunch, 500 calorie dinner plus a 100 to 200 calorie snack In case you weigh more than 200 pounds increase the figure to 1700 calories.
Have 3 ounces of protein for lunch and dinner if you are on the 1500 calorie plan, and up to 4 ounces if on the 1700 one.
– Eat every four hours. Longer intervals can wreak havoc on blood sugar.
You can also allow yourself a healthy snack in between the meals at your highest hunger times or after dinner as well (if it’s really necessary for you).
– Drink often. Choose water, herbal or black tea. Avoid sweet carbonated drinks.
Staying hydrated helps keep metabolism in high gear.
Gradually you will make a regular thing of these simple rules and they will grow into a habit with you. Enjoy feeling and looking great!
