Losing Weight is Simple, Not Always Easy
Every single person who sets out on a fitness regimen, will want to reach their goals as quickly as possible. There's just no way you would want to take any longer than is needed. It's tough enough to stay on track with any healthy lifestyle choices, much less when you see very little or no results.
So, what is the best way to lose weight? Regardless of what diet plan you've decided to follow, what type of fitness program you find most enjoyable or even what your genetics are like, you will not lose weight quickly until you start burning more calories than you take in or you start taking in less calories than you're burning.
The problem happens when you eat high calorie foods with little to no nutritional quality. A 300 calorie candy bar will NOT satisfy in the same way 300 calories of fruits, vegetables or clean protein can. You're going to ingest those candy calories and within an hour, feel hungry again. However, if you were to have some grilled skinless chicken breast on a salad, you'll be able to hold over for a much longer period of time.
An average sized breast of chicken, grilled without the skin will have approximately 150 calories. Compare that to a 2.1 oz Milky Way® candy bar with over 250 calories and you can quickly piece all of this together. But, what if you're saying "I don't eat candy bars and I still can't lose weight?" If this is the case you may want to look at your eating patterns.
Eat 5 to 6 smaller meals each day rather than 2 or 3 large meals. This will level out your bodies metabolism and help reduce spikes in your insulin levels. Truth is, you tend to eat worse when you're really hungry. Eating smaller meals, more often will keep your body from getting to that starvation mode where anything (even a candy bar) will do.
