The
3 most important Diet Tips to lose Weight Fast
Enclosed we have outlined the 3 most important tips to lose weight fast,
that can be incorporated into any sensible diet and are guaranteed to
speed the weight loss process.
To lose weight fast you have to first be on a sensible diet
and by this we mean:
1. Calorie intake is sufficient for your height and build
2. Your diet is balanced ( no fad diets ) you will be eating protein,
carbohydrate and healthy fats
3. You will not be starving yourself and eating 3 – 5 portions
a day
The above are the 3 basics of any healthy diet, following the 3 tips
below will ensure those extra pounds fall away even quickly!
Here then are the 3 most important tips to incorporate in a balanced
diet to lose weight fast:
1. Drink Water
Let’s start with the most important, but often neglected tip for
losing weight fast drinking lots of fresh water. Still or sparkling
it doesn’t matter, but you must drink plenty of it. Why drink
water?
1. Fends off hunger pangs
It acts as a natural appetite suppressant by keeping your stomach full
and fending off dehydration. Many huger pangs are simply thirst signals
linked to de hydration, so by drinking lots of fresh water throughout
the day you will avoid these hunger cravings
2. Metabolizes fat
More importantly water helps your body metabolize stored fat by helping
the kidneys flush out toxins waste.
When the body receives in sufficient water the liver which works to
provide stored fat for energy switches to helping the kidneys and because
of this extra burden becomes less efficient at metabolizing fat.
3. Burns calories
Drinking two liters of iced water a day burns about 6o calories. The
body has to work to raise that waters temperature to your body’s
temperature and this burns fat
Don’t like the idea of drinking lots of water? If this is the
case go for sparkling and naturally flavored waters to make them more
appealing
2. Fiber Intake
Just like water, fiber rich foods bulk you up and make you feel full
and are another great way to lose weight fast.
The average person could lose 10 pounds in one year just from doubling
their fiber intake
Fiber is found in plant foods. Our bodies are unable to digest it so
it goes through the body without being digested.
When eaten fiber also eliminates calories by attaching to some of the
protein and fat that you eat removing it from the body as well cutting
your calorie intake in the process.
In addition, high fiber foods are typically low calorie and filling
so this will stop you reaching for foods with high calorific intake
that will see you put on weight.
The average person consumes around 8g per day but 25g per day is optimum
and there are plenty of choices.
Start with high fiber wheat based breakfast and make sure you have baked
potatoes and brown rice as part of your diet, then supplement with the
following foods:
Strawberries, apples, figs, chickpeas, broccoli, beans, and nuts a whole
host of vegetables and fruits are good so up your intake.
3. Increase Lean Protein Consumption
Notice we said lean protein NOT Just protein. By this we mean generally
avoiding to much red meat and meat that has high fat content.
With today’s modern farming methods try and go organic and eat
as naturally as possible:
Foods that have had the opportunity to grow naturally i.e free range
chickens, non farmed fish etc.
These organic natural sources of protein will help you lose weight fast,
but not intensively farmed varieties.
To lose weight fast, try eating these sources:
Low fat cottage cheese, low fat yogurt, skim milk, egg whites, any fish,
prawns, chicken and turkey ( without skins ), lean beef ( keep in mind
that lean only and not to much ), lentils, kidney beans and any soy
products.
The benefits when eaten are:
1. Helps you feel fuller for longer
Lean Protein is a great help in losing weight fast, as it makes you
feel full and satisfies your appetite for longer.
2. Prevents hunger cravings
Lean protein also prevents insulin spikes that lead to lack of energy,
sugar and hunger cravings cravings.
2. Helps maintain muscle mass
Protein also helps maintain muscle mass which is crucial in the body’s
overall fat burning process.
Around 20 – 25% of your intake of calories can be in the form
of lean protein.
So there you have 3 tips to help you lose weight fast that can be incorporated
into ANY sensible balanced diet.
There are other foods and ways to help you lose fast but these are probably
the 3 best in helping you lose weight longer term and keeping it off.
