Today, it may seem very confusing on how to lose weight effectively. With all of these different types of diets out there, I dont blame anyone on how it can be confusing. There are low fat, low carb, jenny craig type diets out there right now and who knows which one really works.

Well, here I am going to let you in on one of my secrets in which I follow everyday in order for me to maintain only 4% bodyfat. Trust me, I am not a fitness fanatic or a diet driven person and you shouldnt have to be either no matter how much weight you want to loose.

So, lets get started with these Top 3 tips to keep you in shape shall we?

1. Drink Water

I cant stress enough how important it is for you to drink water. Well, first off you should be drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day. The reason you need a lot of water is because it flushes out all of the excess water weight your body is retaining and secondly, it flushes out all the fat your body burns through the day.

2. Eat Protein

This is an important tip to add into your diet. Protein replenishes your muscles with food after you have worked out. Trust me, your going to want to feed those muscles because they are responsible for burning your fat. The more you feed your muscles the more fat they will burn. So consider your muscles your best friends when wanting to lose weight.

3. Work Out

This is very important in order to lose weight. You have to workout to burn off the extra fat you have that your body doesnt need. This goes a long with eating the protein as well. You burn more fat from working out then when you eat the protein you will continue to lose weight through the day because your muscles will be getting fed.

If you follow these 3 important steps, there is no doubt in my mind that you cant lose 5 lbs a week. It may seem like a lot, but when you make those muscles happy, they will definetly give you a quick gift as well. Just remember that when you set a goal to accomplish something, stick with it in order to get the results that you are looking for. 95% of people who fail are those who never even start.
