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 and following the 3 tips below will ensure those extra pounds fall away even quicker!
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, because of this extra burden becomes less efficient at metabolizing fat.
3.Burns calories
Drinking two liters of iced water a day burns about 60 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.

2009 Aug 07 2Keep calories high, drink plenty of water, egg yolks are the most nutritious part. You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you’ll need added potassium). Keep the calories high and the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.
If you starve yourself by lowering calories lower than are needed for the body to function, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn’t get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn’t slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
Carbs are addictive and can be disastrous to our health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs and eat one every time you want "something" have huge omelets for breakfast, with bacon, a lil onion, peppers, mushrooms & cheese. Pork chops for lunch. Get pork rinds and eat them with tuna salad. Steak for dinner. Make a huge sugar free cheese cake for dessert. Eat so much you won’t feel deprived of anything. By the fourth day, your addiction will be gone and you can start making healthy choices.
High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.
Dr.Atkins was a cardiologist, low carb was a health plan easier sold as a "diet" Read any of his books for easily understandable science. Lutz "Life without Bread" & Taubes "Good calorie, bad calorie" are excellent books that dispel all the nutrition myths.
Reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass will have you in awesome shape in no time. Good luck!

2009 Aug 07 4One pound for weight loss = 3500 calories. Scientifically speaking, the only way to lose weight is to consume less calories and exercise more. However, if you are looking to NOT feel hungry, this is a bit tricky. If you are use to eating 3000 calories a day and switch to 2000 calories a day, you will feel hungry until your appetite changes.
A few tips…
1.) Keep a diet journal. Studies show that those who write down a diet log actually lose weight faster than those who do not.
2.) Make small goals. In other words, make a goal of losing 5 lbs in 30 days. This is a realistic goal that can be reached easily. Once you have reached this goal, make another small goal. These small goals will add up to your ultimate weight goal.

2009 Aug 07 5It sounds like your doing what you’re supposed to. you’re off to a good start. if I would change anything, I’d say switch the salami to a lean protein like chicken or turkey and make sure your using lite cesar dressing and one serving of it. Don’t go overboard. People don’t realize how many calories dressing has. If you must use mayo make sure it’s lite, also.
