How To Combine HIIT With Five Proven Diet Principles
If you're like most people, then you have probably asked for advice on how to lose weight in the past and been baffled by the many contradicting answers you have heard. Today we will be looking at five proven factors which will help you to remove doubt from your diet plan and get some serious results.
Once you have laid down the foundations of your diet with the 5 rules given to you here, you will then learn how to combine each of them with hiit sessions in order to push your fat loss results to a whole new level. []
Once you have been able to lay down the ground work with the five diet principles, you can add a high intensity interval training routine alongside it to elevate results one step further. Let's start with a quick look through the diet principles:
* Your total daily calories must change.
* Learn how to set your macronutrient ratio.
* You must drink plenty of water.
* Learn how to maximize your snacks.
* Discover the best time to consume carbohydrates for fat loss results.
Before you go any further, the first thing you must do is establish how many calories you are eating. If you are not sure then grab a little black book and start writing down everything which passes your lips for the next day. This will give you a general idea, it doesn't need to be an exact science. Once you've established this you simply need to set a slight deficit to begin getting some general results. Chop around 200 calories from your existing total to begin with.
Once you have done that, you can then look at where those calories are coming from. Without changing your calories too much, you can generate great results by simply ensuring those calories are arriving in your body from better sources. For example, somebody eating 2000 calories from junk food would look far worse than someone getting 2000 from healthy foods, despite the fact they are eating the same overall. A good way to get this balance in check is to use the 4-4-2 concept, which is 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fats. []
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.
You can maximize your snacks by using protein rather than junk foods. Your body can utilize this for fuel far more effectively and it also enables you to protect your lean muscle tissue during a busy day at the office. Take two or three small tubs, each packed with a rich protein source such as tuna or whey protein, in your rucksack to work with you and enjoy them throughout your shift.
Not only will you stop craving junk foods, you'll also have far more energy.
To ensure your carbohydrates are consumed mainly as fuel, rather than stored with the potential to be claimed as fat, you should consume your main carbohydrate intake around your busiest portion of the day. You don't need to pay attention to myths which state that you need to stay away from carbs at night, the fact is you can consume them at any point throughout the day if you are keeping active.
Next, you should look to use high intensity interval training in your workout routine to take these results one step further. You can do this by jumping on a bike and setting the timer for 30 minutes, switching between a moderate intensity to a thirty second burst of maximal effort every four minutes.
Learning how to lose weight is an often confusing subject. With so many people giving different opinions on both diets and hiit workouts, sometimes it pays to put your faith in the latest science rather than following whatever the latest magazine trend is.
