Set Up Your Diet Plan Effectively for Fat Loss
Research shows that diet has more of an affect on your physical appearance than strength training and aerobic exercise combined.
Prioritizing
Your Eating Habits
If you aren’t happy with the way your body looks right now, the chances are great that your eating habits must improve. I don’t care how disciplined you think you already are compared to other people, if you want to look better than you do at this present time, you must change your approach and raise your current standards.
For you, that could mean a better selection of foods; fewer calories during the day; healthier calories, more frequent meals throughout the day to better regulate your metabolism; fewer “cheat” meals; or fewer “cheat” days. Maybe it’s a combination of two or more of these factors for you? Who knows? You could be doing just about everything right but just need to continue what you’re doing on a consistent basis for another couple of weeks; couple of months; or couple of years.
The bottom line is that you can improve how you look now by paying closer attention to your diet.
Dieting Plans for Successful Weight Loss
Your diet plan will determine your weight loss success
more than any other factor. Diet has much more of an influence on the way you look than weight training and cardiovascular training combined. Some experts say that up to 80 percent of the way your physique looks is determined by your eating habits.
This seems to go against many of the things we hear when we begin our fitness journeys, doesn’t it? Or, is it just that we want to believe this isn’t true? It’s much easier to work hard in the gym for an hour or so every day as opposed to being structured and disciplined for the remaining 23 hours each day, don’t you think?
Maintaining a healthy, lean body--in the context of a productive, balanced, multi-faceted life--has been my new focus. More than likely, that’s more in line with what you are striving for in your lives as well, right? Well, my friends, we’re on the exact same page. My new goals are to figure out the best strategies to reach our health, fitness, and life objectives at the same time.
If you aren't achieving the results you want from your health and fitness efforts, it’s more than likely you that’s letting you down—and not necessarily your training program and/or diet. Even the best weight loss diet won’t help if you don’t follow through. It’s not your extremely challenging lifestyle situation, genetic limitations, or time management dilemmas that are preventing you from reaching your fitness goals either.
Your inability to do what it actually takes (or find out what it takes) to overcome your extremely challenging lifestyle situation, genetic limitations, or time management dilemmas is what must be addressed—and overcome.
Getting Closer to Your Health and Fitness Goals
People frequently fault their personal situation or genetic circumstances with regards to insufficient progress. For anyone who is genuinely dedicated, you'll ultimately discover a way around any of your bodily, emotional, and/or mental obstacles.
Sometimes, people will unfairly compare themselves to others. You’ll hear them say things such as, “He isn’t nearly as dedicated as I am in the gym but builds muscle so much easier than I do!” or “She can eat anything she wants and still looks great while I eat like a bird and gain weight!” The route you may have to take to reach your goals may not seem as easy as that of someone else you know, but there is certainly a way to overcome your challenges. Keep in mind that the “battle” should always be you against you.
It's essential to understand that that you are determining the standard of the body you want using the choices you're making daily. Anything worthy of obtaining has some kind of “price tag” on it. Normally the more desirable a thing is to have, the greater the cost you’ll need to pay for it.
Maybe you don’t want to pay the price necessary to have the kind of body you thought you really wanted. If you don’t want to pay the price, that’s fine. But you must accept the decision or series of decisions that you’ve made.
Don’t blame your lack of knowledge for you lack of success—blame your lack of desire. Don’t blame your genetics or personal conditions when aren’t getting closer to your health and fitness goals—blame the fact that you decided not to overcome those challenges at this time.
If you take credit for your successes in life then you must also take responsibilities for your failures. That will be the first step toward turning your setbacks into eventual victories.
