The basics of weight loss

When boiled down to the basics losing weight/fat really isn’t that difficult. It takes enough education to know where to start, and the dedication to keep up your diet when you have to make healthier choices. Here’s a few principles to live by.

• Eat more protein
  Protein makes you feel the most full while still only providing 4 calories per gram. Not to mention the fact that protein will help you build muscle if resistance training is your thing
• Eat fewer calories
  If you burn more calories than you eat you have to lose weight. The goal is to find this point and stay there.
• Find a form of exercise that makes you happy
  The best exercise is the exercise you actually end up doing. If you can’t stand your exercise, you’re only stacking the deck against yourself.

Bonus Tips

It can be hard at times to be consistent with your tracking. In the same way some exercise is better than none, It’s better to track something that isn’t perfect than nothing at all. Consistency is the absolute most important ingredient in your recipe for success.
