Speed Weight Loss

If speed weight loss is your goal, then drastic action needs to be taken. Speed weight loss is achievable if you follow the following tips:

Drink lots of water

The first speed weight loss tip is to drink lots of water. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day and if you do a lot of physical exercise, you may need more. Water increases your metabolism, which of course burns more calories. Water also cleans waste from you system and assists in the digestion of food. Good digestion also speeds up your metabolism. Drinking water between meals curbs your hunger and makes you feel full.

No more soda

Soda contains up to 10 teaspoons of sugar or artificial sweeteners that are of no food value at all. They are also full of preservatives that help us gain weight. The better way is water and tea. Green tea and black tea have no calories or preservatives. If you prefer sugar in your tea, keep it to a minimum.

Eat 5 serves of vegetables per day

No only are vegetables essential for good health, they are very low in fat and calories and very high in fibre, vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Your dinner plate should be at least half full of vegetables and don’t forget to use whole grain rice, pasta or breads where possible.

Watch how you flavour your foods

Sodium (or salt) is one of the condiments we need to use less of. A lot of salt is added to processed food, so it is unnecessary to add it at the table. Sugar of course is high in calories, so using an alternative sweetener is a better alternative. Mustard is a much better option than mayonnaise and oil or vinegar based dressings are much lower in calories than creamy salad dressings.

Snacks

Pastry, chocolate and candy snacks are of course very tasty. They are also very high in fats and sugars. A better alternative is fruit, vegetables and nuts. Nuts are high in protein and keep you feeling full for longer. It may be hard to avoid the aisles in the supermarket where these snacks are available, but its better for your health and these snacks are fine in moderation once you have reached your goal weight. You don’ have to give them up forever.

Phone a friend

Two heads are better than one. Finding a dieting buddy will help you to stay on track. We all have days where we just can’t get out of bed and do that exercise. We all have days where that chocolate bar is just too tempting. A dieting buddy is an ideal way for both of you to achieve your weight loss goal.

One foot in front of the other

We are more and more living sit down lifestyles and about the only time some people move is when they are doing a structured exercise. So make a choice of which exercise you feel you can do for at least 30 minutes every day and get started. You can achieve speed weight loss if you incorporate more exercise into your lifestyle.

If you follow the above tips you can achieve speed weight loss and achieve your weight loss goal much faster. Energy in and energy out – be it food or exercise or both – will achieve your speed weight loss sooner than you think.
