Key
steps to dieting success
Add a cheat meal to your diet As stated earlier your body is an amazing machine. Not only is your body going to do what it can to insure its survival, it will also try to maintain balance by adapting to its environment. In other words, if you eat the same thing day in and day out your body will eventually adapt to your current caloric intake by adjusting your metabolism. For example, if you were eating 2000 calories a day and dropped down to 1500 calories a day, your body will eventually adjust your metabolism to efficiently run on 1500 calories a day. The key to speeding up the metabolism is to trick your body and keep it guessing. One of the greatest, and most fun I might add, tricks used by bodybuilders is to add a cheat meal to your diet. For one meal a week you can go hog wild and eat whatever your heart desires, whether it be pizza, ice-cream or a meal full of snickers. Now I understand there are those that would prefer to eat a cleaner diet so for them I recommend that they just double their carbohydrate intake one to two full days out of the week (this is what I actually did when preparing for bodybuilding contest) The real asset of the cheat meal is that it keeps you honest with your diet. If your cheat meal is on Saturday and Wednesday your getting a really bad pizza craving, you can simply convince yourself to stay on track by reminding yourself that in three more days you can have whatever you want. Pushing your cravings off to your cheat meal date becomes a little goal for you to achieve while allowing you to maintain your sanity.
Supplements The key to remember when using any form of diet supplements is that they are a tool to help you reach your goal. Supplements alone are not a magic pill that will give you instant results. However, that being said, a good diet supplement added to a solid diet and workout program will help accelerate your results. One great way to make sure you get all your meals in is to use a high quality protein shake. Tying it all together I have
personally used these six weight losing principles to help me
reduce unwanted body fat to win several bodybuilding contest. For
example, I applied these exact principles to reduce my body fat
from 28 percent to less than five percent in a six and a half
month period. Although some of the diet practices applied for a
bodybuilding show may be extreme, these six principles can be
applied and adjusted for everyone looking to reduce body fat. In
conclusion and to recap, the six basic steps to weight loss
success is to drink a gallon of ice cold water a day, eat six
small meals a day verses the traditional large three, add a cheat
meal to your diet program, adjust your carbohydrate intake towards
the end of the day, add
fat burning exercises like cardio workouts in the morning and finally
add supplements as a tool to your diet and workout program.
