Do you want to lose weight, but you don't know where to start? Fed up with all the conflicting information about what to eat and what to avoid?

Losing bodyfat can be very difficult for some people. But it’s quite simple to understand when each area of your training and diet is broken down into simple steps. Losing bodyfat is very much a matter of will-power and discipline. Develop the mental strength to stay committed when your stomach craves food or so called friends tease you with chocolate cake and sweets and you’ll reach your goals quicker than ever.

If you've been eating correctly, training hard, and you're still getting nowhere, follow this simple (but highly effective) step-by-step plan to the letter.

1. Decide on a goal and write it down.
The first step that you must take is to decide exactly how much fat you want to lose, and when you want to lose it by. A vague notion that you want to "lose weight" or generally "tone up" is not enough. Having a specific goal of losing 7 pounds of fat in the next six weeks, for example, makes it far more likely that you will achieve it.

2. Learn the basics, but don't lose yourself in information.
Many people suffer from paralysis by analysis. They get lost in all the conflicting information about complicated diets, silly exercises, and fad gimmicks, and end up so confused that they do nothing. Don't let this happen to you.

3. Use a nutrition planner.
Excess bodyfat is simply a matter of overeating or/and under training. Increase your training and your calories and you’ll lose weight. In some circumstances, thyroid problems and hormonal imbalances may be the cause of excess bodyfat, making you feel very tired and drowsy when reducing calories.

4. Control your carbohydrate intake.
When reducing calories, it is vital to reduce not only the fat content of your diet, but your carbohydrates also. Avoid all simple sugars, such as glucose, or sucrose, unless taken after training as a recovery drink. You should also try to limit your intake of processed and manufactured foods. Stick to complex carbohydrates, such as rice, pasta, vegetables, oats, and seeds. Creative cooking, with spices and herbs can make all dull food taste great.

5. Don't eliminate all fat.
Cutting down on fats doesn’t mean reducing the healthy good fats, such as Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). These essential fats, found in fish, seeds and nuts are responsible for hormone balance, optimum health and actually speed up your metabolism.

6. Get enough protein.
Protein is your key to getting slim. Whilst reducing your calories, it is vital to increase your protein intake. If not, you’ll end up burning muscle tissue for energy. Extra protein intake whilst dieting, helps burn bodyfat, whilst preserving muscle tissue (or increasing muscle, if weight training). This will ensure you get the sought-after lean and toned look, not the thin and saggy look, which low protein diets cause. Stick to high quality protein that is easily digested and absorbed, like Promax. Avoid egg, milk, soya and casein proteins.

7. Train with weights three days each week.
Obtain a training programme that explains exactly what exercises to do, make use of videos and publications, so you can be sure that your technique is perfect. On the other days, exercise aerobically (walking, cycling, or running for example) first thing in the morning, 3 days per week, on the days you’re not weight training. Ensure that each session lasts between 30- 45 minutes. Don’t do less. Stick to jogging or cycling.

8. Use a good multi-vitamin and mineral supplement.
One of the problems with dieting is that you can become deficient in several essential vitamins and minerals. Although a mild deficiency won't make you ill, it will slow down your progress, as your body uses vitamins and minerals to make many of the enzymes needed to burn stored fat as energy. The solution is to take Protrient each day.

9. Choose a fat burner.
Fat burners work in one of two ways - increasing the number of fat calories you burn, or helping you control your appetite. One of the most effective ways to use fat burners is to cycle them. You see, your body can become accustomed to the effects of a particular supplement, and it stops working so well. Here's how a typical cycle looks.

• Thermobol - 4 weeks

• Guggul Complex - 4 weeks

• Slim Quick - 4 weeks

• CLA-1000 - 4 weeks

Combine this stack with a good diet and an effective exercise program.

10. Use a meal replacement.
If you lead a hectic lifestyle you can make things a lot easier by simply using a meal replacement (either a Max-Meal bar or Slim Meal shake) twice a day.
