When we embark on a new fitness routine, quite often our diet can letus down. A lot of the times you can follow the diet but it still doesn't work. The remedy for this is quite often tweaking a few small things and this can usually bring about massive improvements in your weight loss. This page is all about discovering those little things...

Eat before you exercise

Previously it was thought that doing Interval Training in a fasted state and then not eating directly after the exercise would be beneficial for fat loss. It has since been discovered that the opposite is true.

The key to losing weight with Interval Training is the intensity you exercise at. It's been found that having a meal about half an hour before you train allows you to exercise at a higher level for longer. Any slowdown in fat burning at this point seems to be made up by the body over the entire fat burning cycle and as a bonus its been observed that people who ate around around their exercise time seemed to consume less calories over the day as apposed to those who exercised in a fasted state. Just make sure that what you eat is easily digestable and very nutritious. So the quick weight loss diet tip one is eat something like a nutritional shake about half an hour before you exercise.

Eat at Your RMR

In a basic way of looking at it, we put on weight because we put in more energy into our body than it needs to use. Our fat is essentially stored energy.

So this implies that is we eat very little we will lose all the fat? Unfortunately not, we lose fat AND muscle which lowers our metabolism and then after a couple of weeks the body thinks its in a famine and makes hormonal changes to keep the fat reserves as stock, so instead of losing fat, we keep it and just slow ourselves down.

So the trick to losing weight in a healthy way is use up more energy than we consume without letting the body panic about an upcoming famine.

You can do this by finding out your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). This is a calculation that works out your daily energy requirements if you were to spend the entire day resting without expending too much energy.

This is worked out in calories. If you stick around this figure when eating you won’t upset your body. Your exercise and daily activities will let your body use up more energy than it receives and it will turn to those fat stores for the energy it needs. The quick weight loss diet tip two is workout your RMR and make sure you stick close it during the day.

Eat Six meals a day

Did you know that your body needs energy to digest food? Eating six times a day has two benefits. Firstly it balances your energy spikes from eating(see below why this is important). Secondly you are going to use up more energy digesting food and this actually does make a big difference in your fat loss. It like an added bonus, energy consumption with with little effort. The quick weight loss diet tip three is spread your meals over six even portions during your day.

Sugar

You obviously need good food to supply the vitamins, nutrients and minerals that your body will need but in order to lose fat the last step is not to spike that insulin.Insulin stops the body from breaking down fat and changes the process to storing fat.

Insulin is released into the body when we eat. The higher in sugar the food is the more insulin is released. So you need to keep your meals as balanced with their energy as possible. This means combining protein and carbohydrates at every meal as well as choosing low glycemic carbohydrates. The quick weight loss diet tip four is choose foods that don't spike your insulin levels.
