It's time to get moving.

* Use a calorie deficit to get started.

This means you must consume less calories overall in a day than you do at the minute. Don't cut your intake by a drastic amount, just work at this bit by bit because a drastic cut can have negative results. That's why extreme celeb weight loss plans don't work long term. Cut 200 cals per day until you hit your target daily intake then keep it there.

* Increase your daily protein.

If you are consuming less bad fatty foods and less carb heavy meals your body is immediately going to look at burning amino acids from protein instead. This means losing hard earned muscle. Even if you're not trying to get muscular, this is a bad place to be. Increase your daily protein when dieting and you'll reap positive results with this little known technique.

* Protein is the perfect snack for burning fat.

If you are going to snack between meals you'll give yourself a massive weight loss advantage by snacking on protein instead of carbs or fat. Why? Snack on carbs and fats and you will more than likely store a lot of fat, whereas protein has the least impact on the fat storage system of the three macronutrients in food.

* Get your snack pot routine started.

Easily the top diet tip of many trainers, this simple technique is sworn by in our gym. Carrying small tubs in your rucksack with you to work, each container filled with a light and healthy snack of around 50 to 100 kcals will allow you to beat the one issue which brings most people off their diet. Picture it, you are half way through a hard shift at work with no food and the vending machine is calling your name.. We have all been there. This step nullifies this action completely.

* Take a day off every week.

Cutting your favorite junk foods is a bad move when on any diet. Why? Because it leads you to fall off the rails and quit after a few weeks. Enjoy one day per week where you literally don't count your food and eat how you want. You will put on some bad weight here for sure, but overall it will help you to stick to your goal far longer.

Apply these simple methods and you will get results, regardless of current experience or even current weight. These are the basics of any proven, solid diet plan and if you are looking at how to lose weight effectively and keep it off you will do well to apply each step shown here first.
