Now, the first thing you need to start doing is tracking your caloric intake, because if you are not losing weight now it means that there is not enough of a caloric deficit and becoming skinny will be nearly impossible.

A caloric deficit means that overall daily caloric output must exceed input

If you look at it from a really simple standpoint learning how to become skinny, comes down to this…

If the number of calories you consume is below the number of calories you body uses each day, you will start becoming skinny, as your body will be forced to burn your excess body fat as energy.

What is important to understand is that this caloric deficit should come from both a combination of exercise, and diet, not just one.

So many people think they can lose weight by either exercising and not watching their diet, or dieting and being completely inactive. Unfortunately most who take this route end up learning the hard way that becoming skinny is almost impossible with these methods.

How To Become Skinny By Watching Your Caloric Intake

Let’s say your body requires 1500 cal each day to maintain it’s weight…  If your goal is to lose weight, you will have to come in at under that number by eating 200 calories less, and exercising to burn 300 calories.

That looks like this:

- 1500 calories needed by your body to maintain your current weight

- You consume only 1300 through diet, 200 calories under your “maintenance calories”  *(again, you need to track this very carefully)

- You exercise for 45 min. and burn 300 calories

1500 cal
-200 cal via diet
-300 cal via exercise

Total daily calories:  1000

This means that you will have created a caloric deficit of 500 calories daily, which would theoretically equate to 1 pound of fat loss every week.

1 pound of fat = 3500 cal

Of course, this does not guarantee that you will lose exactly one pound each week, but you should lose close to that-at least at the beginning.  You may find that it becomes more difficult later as your body attempts to shut down your metabolism, however there are ways around this.

Remember, if you are not losing weight and think that you are dieting and exercising properly, you are not!  you have to track every aspect of your routine until you figure out exactly what is hindering your progress.

More Tips On How To Become Skinny

• Eat 6 small meals each day.  This really boosts your metabolism and ensures that your body is constantly burning calories.

• Drink at least 8 cups of water each day.  Carry a jug with you and make sure your pee is always clear white. If it’s yellow you are not drinking enough.  Water is important because it helps filter toxins and by-products out of your body.

• On “cheat days” you should still try to count your calories.  So if you have a pizza for example, you should estimate how many calories that meal is and try not to go over your daily limit by too much that day.  Cheat days can actually help, as long as you only do them once a week.

• Take the time to carefully track every aspect of your training and diet.  This mean every calorie burned and every calorie consumed.  Also track sleeping habits, energy levels etc.  If you are serious about learning how to become skinny you will take the time out of your day to do this.

In the end, if you eat less food than your body needs each day, exercise regularly, track your progress and lead a generally healthy lifestyle, you will lose weight and finally become skinny.  There is really no need for any fancy diets or exercises, because it all comes down to the basics mentioned above.

If what you are doing isn’t working, you need to change it right now!
