Lose Weight Fast http://www.loose-weight-fast.com Mon, 17 Oct 2011 03:42:58 +0000 en hourly 1 15 Great Ways To Lose Weight Fast http://www.loose-weight-fast.com/lose-weight-fast/15-great-ways-to-lose-weight-fast-2/ http://www.loose-weight-fast.com/lose-weight-fast/15-great-ways-to-lose-weight-fast-2/#comments Mon, 17 Oct 2011 03:42:58 +0000 admin http://www.loose-weight-fast.com/?p=410 No need to make sacrifices! Just follow these simple guidelines to lose your first 10 pounds, last 10 pounds or give your weight loss program a boost when it seems to have stuttered to a halt. This is a balanced and flexible plan that you can use for as long as you want.

1. Keep a note of everything that you eat and drink. You do not need to estimate calories. Just write down what it was that you had and the approximate quantity. You will find that being more aware of what you are eating helps you to plan healthy meals and snacks.

2. Halve your intake of all pure or added fats. This means using half as much butter or spread on your bread, toast, muffins and potatoes; half the usual amount of mayonnaise or sauce on your salad; and half the oil in the frypan every time.

3. Limit treats containing sugar to three times per week. This includes chocolate, ice cream, desserts, cake, pastries, cookies, etc.

4. Include a lower fat source of protein at most meals: chicken, fish, beans, cottage cheese, or low fat yogurt. Have eggs, nuts and red meat occasionally but not every day.

5. Plan at least one lunch and dinner every week without meat or cheese. Build those meals around whole grains, vegetables and beans to increase fiber and reduce fat.

6. Reduce the fat content in your milk products. If you are currently drinking whole milk, reduce to 2% fat. From 2% reduce to 1%. Choose lower fat cheese and yogurt. When you buy yogurt, also check that it does not contain sugar.

7. Have at least two servings of fruit every day. This can be for dessert or snacks. Choose fruit that is in season.

8. Drink water instead of sodas, juices, milky drinks or alcohol. Avoid diet soda – the sweet taste only encourages you to crave sugar. Hot water with a slice of lemon can be very refreshing in the morning.

9. Include at least two servings of vegetables at lunch and dinner. If you are getting hungry, have more.

10. Eat slowly. The body is slow to register when you are full and it is easy to eat too much if you are racing through your meals.

11. Grated carrot makes a great snack. You will find that a grated carrot is much more filling than a whole carrot. Strange but true.

12. Use whole grains wherever possible. The fiber will give you a fuller feeling and also help your digestion.

13. Choose food that you can chew. Again this will increase your fiber intake, and the act of chewing will make you feel more satisfied too. This means eating fruit instead of drinking juice. If you have soup, make sure it is chunky.

14. Plan your meals and snacks ahead of time. Plan your shopping too – make a list of what you need and stick to it. If you just grab something when you are feeling hungry, you will probably choose high calorie food.

15. Always switch off the TV when you eat. That includes snacks as well as meals. Studies have proved that we eat larger portions in front of the TV, probably because we are much less aware of what we are eating. When you eat, only eat if you want to lose weight fast.

No one likes the word “diet”. Just hearing that one little dreaded word, can make you stop before you even start. We shall now discuss some proven ways in which you can lose weight with a minimum of effort.

1. Avoid Starving Yourself

The answer to losing weight is not to diet, and does not involve starving yourself. This might sound odd, but it’s correct. Consuming too little is the main reason for the failure of most people in their goals for weight loss. You may seem content and think that you are losing unwanted flab on your belly and thighs by skipping those meals. This feeling will soon depart though. Your body cannot bear receiving inadequate food to create the energy needed for your daily activities. Eventually your body concludes that it is not receiving enough energy for survival. Your body will interpret this as a threat and will attempt to maintain the most fat that it can. This occurs because this behaviour has evolved over thousands of years of human existence, specifically to help keep humans alive. People will often attempt to lose weight by making huge cuts in their calorie intake. Doing this will only force your body to do the opposite of what you intend. I recommend cutting only a maximum of 500 calories a day from your diet.

2. Eat Several Small Meals A Day

Consuming several mini-meals throughout the day will actually speed up your metabolism, raise your energy level, and burn off more fat. It is better to eat five or six smaller meals throughout the day instead of having three larger meals. By doing this, your body’s metabolism will stay up during the entire day. You can prevent over-eating by eating more frequently, in smaller servings. Try to eat every 3 hours.

3. Eat A Quality Breakfast

Breakfast is considered the most crucial meal of the day. Therefore, everyone should eat a good breakfast. The last time you had something to eat would have been during dinner the night before, which would be as much as 12 hours earlier. Your energy level will be low, and your body will tell you that you should eat. Eating a substantial breakfast will give your body the energy it needs to successfully start the day. Ideally, breakfast should be your biggest meal and dinner your smallest. Unfortunately, most people eat the reverse of this: a small breakfast followed by a larger lunch and finished off by an enormous dinner. A large breakfast isn’t typically stored as fat because when your body has been fasting all night, it will turn this food directly into energy. Calories consumed during a large evening meal are far more likely to be stored as fat. This is because fewer calories are burned at night due to a lower activity level, and your metabolism is at its slowest when you sleep. If you fill up at the end of the day, your body will convert excess calories, and store them as fat.

4. Drink Plenty Of Water

Most of us don’t drink the 8 glasses of water a day that we are supposed to. Adequate water intake helps promote healthy cell function, as well as a fast metabolism that burns fat. Is it common for you to awaken in the morning feeling so exhausted, as if you were experiencing a hangover? Dehydration is the usual cause. Symptoms of dehydration include headache, fatigue and tiredness. The most abundant nutrient in the human body is water. Water makes up about 60% to 70% of your body. Water is essential for proper body function. You would perish in a few days without water.

5. Too Much Sugar Is A Bad Thing

Stay away from foods that are high in sugar. Since these types foods will digest quickly, they will give you a boost in energy, but it will only last a short amount of time. Consuming sweet food causes a peak in blood sugar and a rise of insulin. As the insulin removes the sugar from your blood, your blood sugar level will drop to lower than normal. The sharp drop in blood sugar levels will make you feel tired, and it will also trigger cravings for sugary foods to raise the level back up again quickly. The cycle of craving sugar, consuming more sugar, then the energy peak and energy crash will continue endlessly until you make a positive change to correct this. Meals should be planned utilizing numerous fruits and vegetables, a reasonable amount of bread, rice or pasta for carbohydrates, and lean meat and protein rich foods. You should only eat treats such as sweets, sodas and pastries on rare occasions.

6. Work Out

Walk if you are only going short distances from home, use the stairs instead of the elevator, go jogging, bicycling or skating. Perform tasks like these, or other chores around the house, on those days you don’t feel like going to the gym. Ensure that you continue to do this on a regular basis, and you won’t even realize that you are dropping pounds while doing these boring tasks. Use exercise to get rid of fat, rather than eating less. This will burn off some unwanted calories without lowering your metabolic rate. The best exercise for fat burning is aerobic exercise. While you exercise your body uses body fat for energy. Do at least 30 to 60 minutes of light exercising a day.

The keys to lose weight fast are eating a healthy breakfast, cutting back on your daily calorie intake (up to 500 calories from what you eat now), eating smaller and more frequent meals, drinking water instead of soda and other empty calorie drinks, and exercising. Your ideal weight is easily within reach, in no time at all, you only need to follow these six simple tips.

Being healthy would not only lead them to have a healthier lifestyle but it will also literally lighten their load, and improve their overall well-being.

There is a long list of dieting options available. There are exercise programs, exercise machines, dietary supplements, dietary food and drinks, diet pills – there are even soaps which claim to help you lose pounds while you bathe.

One other available option to shed off those unwanted pounds is to go herbal.

Herbal weight loss products have been in great demand for people who want to lose weight the natural way. However, when you take herbal supplements to lose weight, you would have to wait for a longer time for the results because of the more subtle effects of medicines which came from plants and natural herbs.

Here are some herbal weight loss options that you might want to consider:

1. Herbal weight loss products

There are a lot of herbal weight loss products available in the market now. You can check out the Internet and you will find a lot of herbal weight loss pills and products.

Be careful, however, as there are some products which claim to be safe and natural because they are herbal, but some actually have side effects because of non-extensive research on the effects of these products.

Here are some ingredients and chemicals which make up some herbal weight loss products that you should watch out for, as they might have harmful effects to your health:

> Senna. This is an herbal laxative. Senna is a main ingredient in weight loss teas, and it works by stimulation the colon. The downside effect of this herb is dehydration. It can also lead to colon problems and can become addictive. Some people, when addicted, are unable to perform bowel movements without it, so watch out.

> Chromium picolinate. This is a synthetic compound found in herbal weight loss products. Chromium is a nutrient which helps regulate blood-sugar level. However, this ingredient, when taken in high doses, may cause damage in the chromosomes. It can also lead to dehydration.

> St. John’s wort. This supplement increases the production of a chemical in the brain. If not used properly, it may cause eye and skin sensitivity, mild gastrointestinal distress, fatigue and itching.

Although a lot of herbal products claim to be safe and natural, it is better to scrutinize the ingredients and research about the effects of the product itself before going for these herbal dietary pills.

2. Organic food.

In Wichita, Kansas, organic food has found its way to more homes and restaurants. Organic food devotees believe that consuming organic goodies help their bodies as well as the environment.

A person who buys organically raised eggs and vegetables claim to be healthier, and they are not spending money on doctors and prescriptions as these keep them healthier and away from the hospital. This could also be an option for weight watchers, as organic food is known to be kinder to your weight than chemically-processed food products.

3. Green Tea.

Studies show that intake of green tea, or green tea extracts burns extra calories. Also, green tea with caffeine can increase fat burning by up to 40% thereby reducing fat.

This is one good option for those who want to lose weight. In a study done, people who took green tea were found to lose 2 to 3 times more weight than those who did not drink green tea.

These results show that green tea is a natural product for the treatment of obesity. Thus, it also makes for a healthier dietary option, not to mention the good effects that it has on the body as compared to caffeine. A cup of tea gives an emmediate energy lift without the side effects of caffeine.

3. Caffeine.

Coffee provides an energy boost to increase fat burning. Caffeine also provides a likelihood to be active, which in turn increases your rate of calorie burn.

4. Immortality Herb

This herb, whose scientific name is Gymnostemna Pentaphyllum, is known to have the following benefits:

> increases healthy blood flow
> reduces artery blocks
> aids healthy blood pressure
> increases the rate of fat burning

5. Apple Cider Vinegar

There are pills and food supplements whose main ingredient is apple cider vinegar. Here are the benefits of taking this herbal option:

> weight loss
> improved cholesterol level
> improved high blood pressure
> helps prevent rheumatoid arthritis

Unfortunately, if you’ve ever tried those methods, you know all too well that they don’t work. If getting slim was only as easy as taking a pill!

The fact of the matter is that even though you want to shed pounds and look better, you still have to eat. Where the problem comes in is not always how much you eat, but what you eat. That is the difference between burning fat or gaining more.

How many low fat or low calorie diets have you tried over the years? If you’re like me it was at least a couple! And they never worked because you always hit a quick weightloss plateau. This is due in part to your metabolism slowing down and adjusting to your diet. So you hit a plateau and can’t seem to lose anymore weight.

Most weight loss programs follow a slower routine to losing the pounds. And with these programs come the requirements of things such as buying special meal plans, attending meetings every week or buying diet supplements. Not only can this become expensive, but it can become a time scheduling nightmare as well! So, isn’t there any diet program that will burn off the fat without all of this insanity? Well, there is a solution.

There’s a weight loss program that is only available online that has been helping countless numbers of people lose weight fast without all the hype and expense. It has a success rate that is very high and you may have even heard of it.

The diet is appropriately named “Fat Loss 4 Idiots” and despite its name, shows you how to safely lose up to 9 lbs every 11 days. That’s right, 9 lbs. But the key word here is “safely”. With most of your other accelerated fat burning programs that you see advertised all over the TV, radio and in stores, you have a whole laundry list of side effects that go along with them. (You know the ones that have a huge list that quickly scrolls down the screen at the end of the commercial). With fat loss 4 Idiots there are NO side effects and the weight you lose stays off.

Are you one who eats at least 3 meals a day or even more? Well, that’s fine because you will find out how to use those meals to burn away the fat and get the body you’ve been wanting. You will also find a step-by-step plan to achieve the results that other diets such as the Atkins diet, South Beach, Jenny Craig, etc., haven’t. The success of fat loss 4 Idiots speaks for itself.

So, don’t give up and quit! And don’t delay another minute in losing the weight you need to lose. You really can do it.

Until now, obesity continues to be a serious problem and is predicted to reach epidemic levels by the year 2020.

One way to prevent this scenario is to make people aware of the risks of being overweight or obese.

Here are some diseases that you are putting yourself in risk of if you are carrying a lot of extra pounds:

1. heart disease
2. stroke
3. diabetes
4. cancer
5. arthritis
6. hypertension

Losing weight helps to prevent and control these diseases.

The quick weight loss methods which have spread like fire these days do not provide lasting results. More often than not, dieting methods which involve dietary drinks, foods and supplement or pills do not work. If they do, the results are just temporary.

It is better to rely on a healthy weight loss option which will provide lifetime results. You have to set realistic goals and not expect to lose a lot of pounds in a short span of time.

Here are some tips on how you can lose those unwanted pounds the healthy way:

1. Do not starve your self.

The key to a healthier way of losing weight is: Do not diet.

You may seem happy and feel that you are losing those unwanted flabs on your belly and thighs by skipping meals. But remember that this would not last long. Your body cannot tolerate having insufficient food to fuel the energy that you use up everyday.

If you get used to skipping one or two meals a day, your stored calories will be used up instead of the energy that should have been provided by your meals. So if you just eat one huge sandwich in one day, it will end up straight to your problem area (i.e. highs, buttocks, hips).

2. Start your day right.

Mothers always say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Have a healthy meal in the morning to jump-start your metabolism.

Your food intake after you wake up will be used to burn fat all day long.

3. Eat small, healthy meals frequently.

Five small-serving snacks per day is better than three hearty meals. Eating more frequently, and in small servings, can prevent over-eating. This will also increase your metabolism and make calories burn faster.

4. Decide on how much weight you want to lose.

Keep your goals realistic. In the long run, it is virtually impossible for you to lose 40 pounds in 2 weeks. Have a mindset that you want to eat healthy to stay healthy for the rest of your life.

Once you have decided on a weight loss plan or program, stick to it and make sure that you follow your own set of dieting rules.

5. Drink lots of water.

Your body needs sufficient water to burn fat and keep your cells hydrated and healthy.

6. Avoid too much sugar.

Plan your meals around lots of fruits and vegetables, some bread, rice or pasta for that carbo fix that you need, plus lean meat and protein rich-foods. Sweets, sodas and pastries should be once-in-a-while indulgences only.

7. Watch your fat intake.

Fat is not the culprit to being overweight. You need this to keep your weight at the proper level.

There is such a thing as healthy fats. Olive, peanuts and canola oil have them. Tuna, salmon and mackerel have omega-3 fats which is good for the heart.

8. Exercise.

Leave your car if you are only going a few blocks from home, take the stairs instead of the elevator, jog, cycle or skate. Use these activites and other home chores if you are too lazy to go to the gym and take exercise classes. Make sure that you do this regularly and you will not even notice that you are already shedding pounds with these mundane activities.

It does not matter how much weight you plan or need to lose. What is important is that you set realistic goals for yourself.

Go slow. If you have already lost 5 or 6 pounds, give yourself a break then try to lose the next 5 pounds.

Eat healthy, drink lots of water, have enough sleep and exercise. This will give you a higher chance of losing weight and improving your health, which would result to a new, healthier you.

One may not have to go to the gym or the spa or any fitness center and spend much just to slim down to obtain that longed for sexy body. There are many books available in the bookstore which offer weight loss programs which are convenient and for free, of course the books are not though. These weight loss programs, or diet plans are gaining immense popularity with so much publicity, testimonials and reviews that one may be confused which exactly to follow. So before choosing which weight loss plan to follow, try reading these summaries about the most popular diet programs out today.

Atkins’ New Diet Revolution by Dr. Atkins. This weight loss program encourages high protein diet and a trim down on the carbs. One can feast on vegetables and meat but should fast on bread and pasta. One is also not restricted against fat intake so it is okay to pour in the salad dressing and freely spread on the butter. However, after the diet, one may find himself lacking on fiber and calcium yet high in fat. Intake of grains and fruits are also limited.

Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet by Drs. Heller. This diet plan advocates low carbohyrate eating. Approves on eating meats, vegetables and fruits, dairy and grain products. however, warns against taking in too much carb. “Reward” meal can be too high on fats and saturated fats.

Choose to Lose by Dr. Goor. Restrains fat intake. One is given a “fat” budget and he is given the liberty on how to spend it. It does not pressure the individual to watch his carbohydrate intake. Eating meat and poultry as well as low-fat dairy and seafoods is okay. A go signal is also given on eating vegetables, fruits, cereals, bread and pasta. This weight loss plan is fairly healthy, good amounts of fruits and vegetables as well as saturated fats. Watch triglyceride levels though; if high, trim down the carbohydrates and tuck in more of the unsaturated fats.

The DASH Diet. Advocates moderate amounts of fat and protein intake and high on carbs. Primarily designed to lower blood pressure, the diet plan follows the pyramid food guide and encourages high intake of whole wheat grains as well as fruits and vegetables and low-fat dairy. Some dieters think it advocates too much eating to procure significant weight loss.

Eat More, Weigh Less by Dr. Ornish. Primarily vegetarian fare and strictly low-fat. Gives the go signal on the “glow” foods but warns to watch it on non-fat dairy and egg whites. This diet is poor in calcium and retricts consumption of healthy foods like seafoods and lean poultry.

Eat Right for Your Type. Interesting because it is based on the person’s blood type. recommends plenty of mest for people with the blood type O. Diet plans for some blood types are nutritionally imbalanced and too low in calories. And for the record, there is even no proof that blood type affects dietary needs.

The Pritkin Principle. Focused on trimming the calorie density in eating by suggesting watery foods that make one feel full. Eating vegetables, fruits, oatmeal, pasta, soups, salads and low-fat dairy is okay. Although limits protein sources to lean meat, pseafood and poultry. Although it is healthy by providing low amounts of saturated fats and rich amounts of vegetables and fruits, it is also low on calcium and limits lean protein sources.

Volumetrics. For low-density calorie eating. Recommends the same foodstuff as Pritkin but restricts fatty or dry foods like popcorn, pretzels and crackers. This plan is reasonably healthy given the high amounts of fruits and vegetables as well as being low in calorie density and saturated fats.

The Zone. Moderately low on the carbs yet moderately high on the proteins. Encourages low-fat protein foods like fish and chicken plus veggies, fruits and grains. It is also healthy but lacking in grains and calcium.

Weight Watchers. High carbohydrates, moderate on fats and proteins. A very healthy diet plan and very flexible too. it allows the dieter to plan his own meal rather than give him a set to follow.

Unfortunately, if you’ve ever tried those methods, you know all too well that they don’t work. If getting slim was only as easy as taking a pill!

The fact of the matter is that even though you want to shed pounds and look better, you still have to eat. Where the problem comes in is not always how much you eat, but what you eat. That is the difference between burning fat or gaining more.

How many low fat or low calorie diets have you tried over the years? If you’re like me it was at least a couple! And they never worked because you always hit a quick weightloss plateau. This is due in part to your metabolism slowing down and adjusting to your diet. So you hit a plateau and can’t seem to lose anymore weight.

Most weight loss programs follow a slower routine to losing the pounds. And with these programs come the requirements of things such as buying special meal plans, attending meetings every week or buying diet supplements. Not only can this become expensive, but it can become a time scheduling nightmare as well! So, isn’t there any diet program that will burn off the fat without all of this insanity? Well, there is a solution.

There’s a weight loss program that is only available online that has been helping countless numbers of people lose weight fast without all the hype and expense. It has a success rate that is very high and you may have even heard of it.

The diet is appropriately named “Fat Loss 4 Idiots” and despite its name, shows you how to safely lose up to 9 lbs every 11 days. That’s right, 9 lbs. But the key word here is “safely”. With most of your other accelerated fat burning programs that you see advertised all over the TV, radio and in stores, you have a whole laundry list of side effects that go along with them. (You know the ones that have a huge list that quickly scrolls down the screen at the end of the commercial). With fat loss 4 Idiots there are NO side effects and the weight you lose stays off.

Are you one who eats at least 3 meals a day or even more? Well, that’s fine because you will find out how to use those meals to burn away the fat and get the body you’ve been wanting. You will also find a step-by-step plan to achieve the results that other diets such as the Atkins diet, South Beach, Jenny Craig, etc., haven’t. The success of fat loss 4 Idiots speaks for itself.

So, don’t give up and quit! And don’t delay another minute in losing the weight you need to lose. You really can do it.
