How To Diet And Use HIIT For Maximum Weight Loss

By Russ Howe


The question of how to lose weight properly often arises in gyms. Many people are misled into believing that the science behind weight loss is much more complex than it actually is. Today, you will discover the proven facts.

Furthermore, we will take five of the most extensively researched factors behind fat loss and then show you how to combine them with a HIIT program for maximum results. []

By combining high intensity interval training with the tips given below, you will be able to achieve maximum results both inside and outside of your local gym. Let's start with a brief description of the five rules:

* Work out your calorie consumption.

* Learn how to set your macronutrient ratio.

* Learn how much water intake you need to be getting on a daily basis.

* Learn how to use protein to eliminate junk food and snack cravings.

* Learn the best and worst times of the day to take on carbohydrate heavy foods.

The first rule, before you do anything else at all, is to change your daily calorie intake. If you carry on eating the same volume of food you will find it harder to drop unwanted fat. Write down a food diary over the next couple of days and you'll get an idea of how many calories you are currently eating at the moment. Then simply take 200-300 off this target. If you want to drop the total by a large amount it would be best to do it in gradual stages over the course of a couple of weeks, so you don't shock the body into starvation mode.

When you have set your total calorie target, it is then time to figure out where those calories need to come from. This is the part where most individuals have little idea how to get the most out of their diets. To ensure you are hitting all of the right things with your meals, try using the 40-40-20 concept. This means 40% of your total calorie goal should now come from protein, 40% from carbohydrates and 20% from fats. These figures can be changed slightly as they work best when they are not kept down to an exact science, but the baseline figures do work very nicely. []

People usually forget to drink enough water during the course of a busy day. One way to get around this is to fill a two liter bottle before you go to bed at night and leave it in the fridge. Upon waking, set yourself the target of finishing that bottle during the upcoming 24 hours and having a new, fresh bottle in the fridge by the time you go back to sleep. Water is crucial for weight loss, as it helps your body to stay hydrated, increases metabolism and also helps you to flush out toxins.

Of course, one of the main factors causing so many people to fall off their healthy diet is the temptation to snack on junk food while at work. You can eradicate this temptation by taking some small snack tubs to work with you. Put protein rich foods in there and you'll not only stay away from the vending machine, you'll also notice that protein snacks greatly elevate your success in the gym.

Not only will you stop craving junk foods, you'll also have far more energy.

Finally, there are so many myths surrounding carbohydrates. Your body needs them in order to function and you cannot lose weight without them, so do not make the mistake of avoiding them. However, you can increase results by learning the best times to eat them. It is a myth that you shouldn't eat carbs at night. The truth is you should plan your carb intake around your busiest periods of the day so that your body can use them for fuel, rather than storing them. If you are busy during the night then there is nothing wrong with enjoying some carbohydrates at this time

To get the most from these tips, you will already be seeing positive results. But the next step is to combine them with high intensity interval training. The most proven method of interval training is to combine four minutes of moderate activity and then thirty seconds.

Most people get lost when they ask for information on how to lose weight because many of the answers you hear are based on little more than popular opinion. Today, you have discovered the facts on both healthy weight loss and how to get the benefits of hiit alongside your new lifestyle. By basing your program around proven facts, the chances of long-term success are far more likely.
