20 Fast Weight Loss Tips

40 Fast Weight Loss Tips

1. Workout smarter

Did you know you can actually lose more weight & keep yourmetabolism fired up longer by doing 3-to-4 shorter 10-minute workoutsinstead of 1 big 30-to-40-minute cardio workout?

A research study at the university of Pittsburgh found that women who split up their 40 minute cardio workouts into 4 separate 10 minute cardio workout sessions during the day LOST 20 pounds while… the group of women who did one big 40 minute cardio workout only lost 14 pounds and…

The reason why more shorter workouts are better is because you never give your fat burning metabolism a chance to slow down.

2. Take a break to lose weight faster

A University of Tokyo study found that people who took a 20 minute break about halfway thru their hour-long cardio workout burned 20% more fat than the people who worked out for an hour straight non-stop because… Taking short 20 minute workout breaks makes your fat-burning hormones work much better.

3. Drink Water

Water Lowers the Amount of Fat Stored in your body

Your kidneys get very lazy on the job when you don't drink enough water and as a result of you not drinking water, your kidneys give most of its unfinished work to your liver.

One of your liver's functions is to help your body burn stored fat for energy and it can't perform that job fully if it has to do the kidney's job also.

By not drinking water you put your liver on double duty, decreasing its fat burning potential and causing you to store more fat. If you drink enough water your kidneys will stop being lazy, do its job of excreting waste products from your body, 

4. Fast weight loss = YOU eating more RAW fruits & veggies

Your body has to burn a lot of calories to break down the RAW fruits & veggies you eat so basically…

You're losing weight fast every time you eat fruits & veggies and people whose diets are dominant in fruits & veggies tend to lose weight faster and maintain their weights much longer plus…

Fruits & Veggies give you longer lasting energy while fighting off hunger cravings which means you'll never get fat and researchers at Tufts university found that the more vegetables people eat = the thinner they are.

5. Drink Green Tea

Studies show you can burn 35-to-43% more fat during the day when you drink 3-to-5 cups of green tea but…

If you do not have time to make your own green tea then you can simply take a green tea diet pill supplement or better yet… You can use a fat burner like the ones here that have green tea in it along with other fat burning ingredients.

6. Eat more fiber

Getting more fiber in your diet can help you control your weight. Eating fiber prevents you from overeating because it makes you feel full.

You'll have an even greater feeling of fullness and higher energy levels throughout the day if you eat meals that are mostly made up of fiber, protein, and water.

Fiber also slows down the digestion of foods you eat keeping your blood sugar/energy levels in check preventing you from getting hungry.

Good sources of fiber are vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, and some cereals. The amount of fiber in a food product is listed in the nutritional facts found on most food labels.

You should try to eat 20-35 grams of fiber each day spread out evenly in all of your meals.

Don't underestimate the power of fiber. Because fiber takes so long to be digested by your body, a person eating the recommended 20-35 grams of fiber a day will burn an extra 150 calories a day orlose 16 extra pounds a year.

7. Eat more protein

You'll eat up to 500 calories less per day when at least 30 % of the calories you eat is from protein and… You increase your body's fat burning metabolism every time you eat fiber & protein because your body has to burn a lot of calories just to digest the protein & fiber you eat plus…

Protein speeds up your weight loss by helping you build and/or maintain lean muscle that also raises your fat-burning metabolism and…

The main reason why people lose weight fast on high protein dietsis because Protein suppresses appetite by keeping you fuller longer.

8. Drink milk

Recent research now shows that including more dairy in your in your diet may make it easier to lose those extra pounds and burn fat without cutting back too much on calories.

One of the most exciting findings of this new research is diets that are dairy-rich will help you almost double the rate of weight loss as compared to dairy-poor diets.

Researchers also found that most of the body fat lost from these diets was around the midsection.

Some of the minerals found in dairy products may enhance calcium's beneficial effects on fat breakdown within the cells and dairy products also contain enough protein in them to help preserve muscle and increase your metabolism.

3-4 servings of dairy products each day like Milk, yogurt, and cheese will do.

9. Limit your salt

Consuming more than the recommend 2500mg (1 tablespoon) of sodium each day will cause you to retain water and gain weight (bloating)

Sodium holds up to 50 times its weight in water.

When you limit the amount of sodium you eat your body will begin to expel some that unwanted water weight.

Thirst is a good indicator that your sodium intake is two high. As your sodium levels get high your body ask for more water to dilute the sodium by making you thirsty.

This is why many bars offer salty snacks such as pretzels and peanuts for free, after customers get thirsty they will order drinks to quench their thirst

To limit your sodium intake stay away from foods like canned soups, fast foods, and cured meats.

Instead of seasonings and MSG use lemons, garlic, pepper, caraway, tarragon, or anything low that's low in sodium for flavor. The nutritional facts label of any food product shows how much sodium a food item has.

10. Get more active

Adding a little physical activity to your daily routine will help you start losing weight quicker than you can imagine.

Don't Worry, getting more active doesn't mean you have to sign up at a gym and take tae-bo or start participating in marathons regularly!

There are many ways that you can gradually become more active to lose weight.

For example:

• When you go to a store - Instead of trying to get the best parking spot take the worst one all the way at the back of the parking lot so you have to walk more.
• Throw away your TV remote & get up to change the channels.
• Go to shopping malls. But before you shop walk around the entire mall one or two times.

Those are just a few examples of ways that you can gradually start adding physical activity to your daily routine. It may not seem like much in the beginning but… All the extra calories you burn by doing these little activities adds up to you losing more weight.

Could you save gas by walking to certain locations or is it possible that you can ride a bike to certain locations instead of driving? Just be creative and start thinking about how you can gradually add some extra physical activity your daily routine.

Here are some more examples:

• Stop using the elevator. Take the stairs or at least take the stairs half way up.
• After you come back from a day of shopping. Carry all the items you just bought into your house one by one. The more items you buy the more walking back and forth you have to do.

Challenge yourself by adding 5 minutes of extra physical activity to your daily routine everyday
JUST GET ACTIVE!

14. Do cardio last to blast fat fast

Before you hop on the bike or treadmill for an hour it's best that you spend 45 minutes doing a muscle building or body sculpting workout to use up most of your body's stored carbs or glycogen for energy so when you do get ready to do your cardio workout…

Your body will began to burn more fat for energy during your cardio workout rather than a combination of fat and carbs because you already used up most of your body's stored carbs for energy during your 45 minute muscle building or body sculpting workout.

17. Switch To a Mediterranean Diet As Soon As Possible

Which people are the leanest, least overweight, longest lived, and have lowest rates of chronic disease on earth?

The people from the Asia & the Mediterranean regions do.

The main reason why these people are the leanest and least overweight of all people on earth is that they eat a healthy balanced diet.

Their diets include an Abundance of Plant Foods (complex carbs) like rice and other grains, noodles, flatbreads, potatoes, fruits and vegetables (including sea vegetables), nuts, seeds, beans, various soy foods, other legumes, vegetable and nut oils, herbs and spices, and plant-based beverages including tea.

They eat fish, poultry, and eggs in low to moderate amounts and only eat red meat sparingly. Tea, wine, Beer and other Alcoholic Beverages are only enjoyed in moderation.

Loss Weight Fast: How to Do It Safely

Working on weight loss? Then you probably want results -- fast.

Let me save you some time: skip the fad diets. Their results don't last. And you have healthier options you can start on -- today!

You can safely lose 3 or more pounds a week at home with a healthy diet and lots of exercise, says weight loss counselor Katherine Tallmadge, RD.

How to Lose Weight Fast

If you burn 500 more calories than you eat every day for a week, you should lose about 1-2 pounds.

If you want to lose weight faster, you'll need to eat less and exercise more.

For instance, if you take in 1,050 to 1,200 calories a day, and exercise for one hour per day, you could lose 3-5 pounds in the first week, or more if you weigh more than 250 pounds. It's very important not to cut calories any further -- that's dangerous.

Limiting salt and starches may also mean losing more weight at first -- but that's mostly fluids, not fat.

"When you reduce sodium and cut starches, you reduce fluids and fluid retention, which can result in up to 5 pounds of fluid loss when you get started," says Michael Dansinger, MD, of NBC's The Biggest Loser show.

Diets for Fast Weight Loss

Dansinger recommends eating a diet that minimizes starches, added sugars, and animal fat from meat and dairy foods. For rapid weight loss, he recommends focusing  on fruits, veggies, egg whites, soy products, skinless poultry breasts, fish, shellfish, nonfat dairy foods, and 95% lean meat.

Here are more tips from Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, author of The Flexitarian Diet :

• Eat vegetables to help you feel full.
• Drink plenty of water.
• Get tempting foods out of your home.
• Stay busy -- you don't want to eat just because you're bored.
• Eat only from a plate, while seated at a table. No grazing in front of the 'fridge.
• Don't skip meals.

Keeping a food journal -- writing down everything you eat -- can also help you stay on track.

"Even if you write it down on a napkin and end up throwing it away, the act of writing it down is about being accountable to yourself and is a very effective tool for weight loss," says Bonnie Taub Dix, MA, RD, author of Read It Before You Eat It .

Besides jotting down what you ate, and when, you might also want to note how you were feeling right before you ate it. Were you angry, sad, or bored? We often focus so much on foods and calories, but our emotions are a huge part of our eating habits.

If you see a persistent pattern in your emotional eating, please consider talking to a counselor about it. They can be a big help in finding other ways to handle your feelings.

It's time to move more! Losing weight requires close to an hour a day of moderate exercise, one study shows.

Plan to do cardio and strength training.

"Cardio burns the most calories, so it is ideal for fast weight loss, but afterward you need to include a few hours a week of strength training," Dansinger says. To burn the most fat, try to break a sweat after your warm-up and keep sweating for the entire hour, Dansinger says.

If you're not exercising now, and you have a chronic condition or a lot of weight to lose, it's wise to check in with your health care provider first. They'll be rooting for you! And they'll make sure that you're ready to work out.

Pace yourself. Don't do too much, too soon -- work your way up to help prevent injury.  

One way to step up the intensity is to do interval training -- brief bursts of high-intensity, followed by a more mellow pace, and repeating that pattern throughout your workout.

"Interval training allows people to work harder without having to spend the entire time at the higher level, and over time, the more you do it, the easier it becomes to burn more calories," Blatner says.

Fad Diets and Crash Diets

I know how tempting diet crazes can sound, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose. You hear about stars who did it and look incredible.

But remember,  if a diet plan sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Also, please skip any programs that promote detoxification pills, laxatives, fasting, or potions, and any that promise weight loss faster than 2-3 pounds per week.

The truth is that cutting calories below 1,050-1,200 per day is counterproductive, because you need strong muscles to be able to exercise effectively.

"When you eat too few calories, you lose fat but also precious muscle, which is the worst thing you could do because it slows your metabolism and makes it more difficult to increase exercise intensity or duration," Dansinger says.

Fad diets also set you up for failure by depriving you of what you want. You can't eat like that for long, and it's too likely that you'll rebel and end up back where you started. You deserve better than that!

So by all means, attack your weight loss goal. Put it on the fast track. But please, do it right so you set yourself up for lasting success.
