Check out our 10 tips for fast weight loss if you want to
lose a few pounds quickly. There's no need to starve yourself or go hungry.
Simply be more aware of what you eat, reduce your intake of fat and sugar, and
fill up with vegetables and fruit. Here's how:
1. Write down everything that you eat or drink that contains
calories, even if it's just a splash of milk in your coffee. You don't need to
count the calories. Simply writing everything down will help you to see when
those sneaky high calorie foods are creeping in and sabotaging your fast weight
loss.
2. Make your own meals instead of relying on TV dinners and
other packaged foods. Food manufacturers add salt and sugar to almost
everything to make us want more and more.
3. Include at least two servings of vegetables in every main
meal (not counting potatoes), or add a large salad with low fat dressing. Aim
to eat more green, leafy vegetables. Fresh vegetables will help you to feel
full and satisfy your body's need for vitamins and minerals, reducing cravings.
4. Cut your fat intake in half. Since you're not eating
packaged foods any more, it's easy to do this. Measure the oil that you use for
cooking and only use half as much. Spread butter very thinly. Switch to low fat
milk. Cut visible fat off meat before cooking, and don't eat the skin.
5. Have sweet treats containing sugar no more than three
times a week. If you are a sugar addict you may find this difficult at first
but you will soon have much more appreciation for the sweetness in fruits and
vegetables, and fast weight loss may be your reward.
6. Indulge yourself with plenty of fresh fruit. Grapes,
cherries, berries, apples, mangoes and bananas are delicious replacements for
the unhealthy desserts that most of us eat. Try them chopped into low fat
sugar-free yogurt.
7. Try grated carrot for a snack. Mix in a chopped apple if
you want. Grated carrot takes longer to eat than a whole carrot and because of
this, it's way more satisfying.
8. Choose food that you can chew, and eat it slowly, putting
down your fork between bites. Go for brown rice instead of white, whole fruit
instead of juice, chunks of whole foods in your soup. The added fiber will fill
you up and help the body to eliminate waste, and the act of chewing will make
you feel more satisfied with your meal.
9. Plan your meals and your shopping. Think ahead and make a
list of what you will need, then stick to it. To make this easier, never go to
the grocery store when you are hungry. Or order your shopping online for
delivery.
10. When you eat, just eat. Sit at the table, even if it's
just for a snack. Don't eat while doing something else at the same time
(watching TV, driving, reading, checking email). If you eat with others, of
course you may talk, but try to avoid bringing up heavy or contentious subjects
at meals. Arguments are not good for anybody's digestion and won't help your
fast weight loss.
