5 Easy And Simple Ways to Lose weight Fast
1. Simply stop all foods and drinks with empty calories.
Drinks like low fat smoothies, green tea, cordials, and water are recommended. Whilst eating more fresh foods like fruits, vegetables, lean meat, fish, skinless chicken and wholegrain foods have nutritional benefits. And choose low GI carbohydrate foods such as wholegrain pasta, Dongara rice or Basmati rice, multi-grain bread to help curb hunger. In others words, limit the fruit juices, donuts, white breads, take outs, fast foods and soft drinks as much as possible.
2. Ditch the fizzy drinks and take up drinking water.
Water is simply the best kind of fluid you can get. And the best part is - it’s calorie free. Unlike sugary drinks and energy drinks, water does not contain sugar. A high intake of soft drinks is believed to be responsible for the alarming increase in obesity, especially in children and teenagers. So start now, and reduce the amount of fizzy drinks you drink per day, and if you can, cut it out completely over time.
3. Eat more to curb cravings.
Fiber can slow the absorption of foods, preventing peaks in blood sugar after a meal - and it adds bulk to foods which can help you feel full longer. Not only that fiber helps lower cholesterol levels, leading to a reduced risk of heart disease, a major complication of diabetes. The best way to include more fiber is eat more beans, legumes, fresh or frozen fruit and vegetables, wholegrain breads, high fiber cereal, fiber rich snacks and nuts.
4. Beware of ‘non hungry’ eating
Become aware of your eating habits, the reasons you may be eating such as stress, boredom or out of habit. And record what you eat for a few days to help increase your awareness of the reasons for eating. When you pin point it, look at other ways to substitute the comfort foods for low fat foods or taking up physical activity for distraction.
5. Consider portion size.
Many people are now eating low fat diets but they are eating larger portions. You need to get the balance right between calories consumed and calories burnt. The best way to get around this is plan for 6 mini meals a day (3 meals and 3 snacks), fill up your half plate with leafy veggies, don’t go for that second serve, eat low fat snacks like fruits, handful of nuts and low fat yogurt, and eat sensibly.
If you are committed to make a difference to your life, make the change now - but do it in stages, and again be patient with the results. Just focus on improving your health and let your positive actions take care of the rest. Lastly, eating sensibly and being more active are the best ways to lose weight fast.
