Fast weight loss
Many people need to lose some weight, that's a fact. Walk around where people gather, you'll see it. Look in the mirror, unfortunately you'll likely see it there too. If you've made fast weight loss your goal, keep these simple things in mind to lose the pounds quickly and safely.
Skipping meals is one of the first things people often try when they want to lose weight. It makes sense, right, cut out the calories by eating one fewer meal. Doesn't weight loss come with eating less calories? Yes, but skipping meals is a mistake, not the right way to reduce calories. Your body thinks it's being starved when you skip meals. It goes into "starvation" mode. It starts to retain fat to counteract what it perceives as a shortage of food. When you skip meals you'll end up hungrier at the next meal. This could lead to binge eating. Skipping meals is the worst of both worlds that results in gaining even more weight. Don't do it.
Know how much to eat. It's called portion control and it's as important as eating the right foods. Too much of even a healthy food still results in weight gain. It's hard to do when large portions are so common. Restaurants serve over large portions, as do most people at home.
The FDA and other sources list recommended daily allowances. And remember portion size when you eat at restaurants, especially fast food restaurants. Don't eat the full portion served at the restaurant, or order less than a full meal, such as soup and a salad.
Replace white foods such as white bread, white rice and sugar with whole grain foods. Whole grains are rich in nutrients and low in fat. The fiber in whole grains helps you become full faster, and feel fuller longer. Also whole grains contain many nutrients that are often lacking in people's diets.
Drink more water. Drink it instead of juices and sodas which add about 90,000 calories to the average person's diet each year. Drink it between meals too. In fact, the goal is 8 glasses of water each day. It seems like a lot, but it's not. Drinking water will also promote health in general by keeping you well hydrated and cool.
Eat healthy snacks between meals. The body needs food every three to four hours to maintain proper blood sugar. Healthy snacks also help control eating at meal times.
With some knowledge and planning, fast weight loss is easily possible. Keep these things in mind and pretty soon you'll see a slimmer you when you look into a mirror. - 17273
