By Russ Howe


So many people get unnecessarily lost when it comes to how to lose weight so today our instructors are going to put together some simple and proven tips for you to get quick but lasting rewards for your hard efforts in the gym.


There are no if's or maybe's when it comes to the five steps shown in today's post. To put it bluntly, they simply do the job every time.

So, are you ready to begin?

Personal trainer Russ Howe PTI explains how to lose weight effectively.


The following 5 steps are all you really need when it comes to dieting, these are the foundations of a solid lifestyle.

1) Understand Your Calories

2) Know When To Increase Protein

3) Snack On Protein Rich Food

4) Pack Snack Tubs With Your Lunch

5) Take That Day Off

We will now run through some of these rules in more depth to help you get the most from them. The first of which revolves around simply understanding a little bit about the calories you eat. No, you do not need to watch every single calorie or skip your favorite meals. That's actually a bad way to diet. When you are dieting effectively you shouldn't even feel like you are dieting. You must operate at a calorie deficit, meaning eat less per day than you do now, that's a solid start.

One of the common trends these days is to cut down carbohydrates when dieting for fat loss. It's proven and it works, but only if you remember to also increase your protein intake. So don't starve yourself. If your plate looks a little empty with less rice around that chicken breast, treat yourself to another piece of chicken. This actually helps you get results.

Rules three and four cover snacking. The most common reason for people failing time and time again when it comes to weight loss is their inability to stop snacking through boredom. Usually, hunger strikes when you're at work and don't have any healthy food around you.

Take a few small tubs with you to work, pack them with protein rich foods and enjoy them throughout the day whenever you feel peckish. Protein has far less impact on our fat storage cells than either carbs or fat, so enjoy!

After you've dieted all week the last thing you'd probably want to do is to take a day off, right? Dismiss the fear that you can undo a great week's work with one simple day. Remember, there is a big difference between a cheat day and Christmas day. By enjoying a day off you'll curb any temptations. Enjoy your favorite junk food if you want to, it won't derail your efforts in the bigger picture and it will actually help you stick to your plan far longer than you may ever have in the past.

Whether you're lost trying to figure out how to lose weight and keep it off or are trying to learn how to build muscle and not sure where to get started, the five rules shown today simply work.
