Follow the “1/1/4” rule
In the most general proportion of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, they should be equal to 1/1/4, which means 1 gram of protein, 1 gram of fat and 4 grams of carbohydrates per 1 kilogram of your weight.

Every kilogram of your weight accounts for 30 ml of water daily.
Take pictures of yourself in full length regularly

The scientists have proved that people who keep up with the diet and take photos of their body changing possess the higher motivation to not give up on a half-way.

Choose the right music while training
The effectiveness of your training is directly dependent on what you are listening to while working out.

Cortisol ruins muscles, besides, its permanent high level slows down the metabolism and contributes to obesity.
