By Russ Howe-Pti


At some stage most of us will hit a plateau with our diet. If you are looking at how to lose weight and perhaps struggling to push on to the next level, you will find the two simple steps given in today's article to be incredibly useful.

As fitness instructors we know that there is so much misinformation when it comes to fat loss that it's almost criminal. Particularly online, where people constantly have an agenda to sell a miracle pill or extreme fat reducing product of some kind. These steps today are simple, proven and cost nothing.

The following two steps will help you to get past even the hardest block when trying to lose unwanted body fat.


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



The First Rule - Utilize Snack Tubs.

Rule Number Two - Take A Day Off.

The majority of people who find it hard to stick to a diet tell us that their biggest vice is snacking on junk food. Usually this happens when they are at work. This makes sense. Half way through a long shift at your job, with work piling up and stress levels climbing higher it is easy to give in to the temptation of the vending machine staring at you from across the break room. We get it.

It's stocked with unhealthy foods. Believe it or not, your body doesn't actually crave that chocolate or those crisps as much as you think. You long for the quick fix satisfaction you associate with it, that's all.

The nutritional facts of any of the foods in that vending machine are terrible, so your body is absolutely not longing for that type of food, believe us on that. It's you. It's more of a comfort thing than a hunger thing. You associate it with feeling happy, and you know it.

Before heading off to work pack three or four small snack tubs with protein rich snacks. Snacking on protein feeds your muscles and also has far less impact on your body's fat storage system.

By simply giving yourself a ready made alternative you will find out how serious about your fat loss regime you really are. For most people it kills temptation immediately.

Our second tip is about taking days off from your new healthy eating regime. Whether you want to or not, it's great for your body and your mental state to take a day off every week or two and allow yourself to eat whatever you want. This is proven to actually increase fat loss results.

You shouldn't ever feel like you are punishing yourself just for wanting a better body. Cutting out all of your favorite foods is the number one way to fall off your diet in spectacular fashion. You will begin to crave things you used to enjoy, and rightly so.

Give yourself a break. In fact, I mean that literally. Give yourself a twenty four hour break every week.

You may eat more calories but not enough to wreck your entire week's progress. You may eat junk food but again not enough to derail an entire week's worth of good eating and exercise. In fact, enjoying your favorite foods on one specific day each week gives you a target every single week, something to look forward to. It helps you stick to your routine without even realizing it.

Both of these steps are tried and tested. They work, it's as simple as that. Apply them to your diet today if you are trying to figure out how to lose weight and you will see positive results.
