Tips for fast, healthy, weight loss.
1. Reducing carbohydrate in small doses and increasing the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables you eat is a good way of cutting calories and controlling blood sugars whilst doubling nutrient intake. You don't have to do without your favourite meals by doing this. If spaghetti bolognaise is a dinner time favourite of yours then it still can be. Make the dish as you would normally do. Fried mince and onions, with a tomato based sauce served with spaghetti amounts to about 600 calories. However, if you chip away at the ingredients of the spag bol you'll be doing your waist a favour.
Using 50% less meat and spaghetti and adding more vegetables such as peas, sweet corn, canned tomatoes and mushrooms, you'll not only create a tastier, healthier, more filling meal, you'll halve the calories.
2. Calories in drinks...a real spoiler, in fact dangerous for someone wanting to lose weight fast. Ease up on lattes, sodas, juices, wine, fizzy pop and beer. Replace with water, herbal or green tea. You save 500 calories daily doing this. You become far more hydrated which is a dividend, and as study revealed, low levels of dehydration can cause the brain to confuse thirst with hunger.
3. Your body needs energy, without it you'd find it hard to function. Carbohydrate based foods supply this, but not all carbs are equal. Refined carbohydrates are often lacking in nutrients and can send blood sugars sky high, causing increased appetite, cravings and tiredness. Refined carbohydrates come in the form of cookies, cakes, cereals, biscuits, breads etc. Concentrate more on unrefined, lower GI alternatives, still keeping meal portions small. Instead of white bread opt for rye or stone ground, whole meal varieties. Choose plain pasta over whole meal, swap to brown rice from white. Add beans, pulses and oats to dinners. If the urge is there to put more on the plate, add extra vegetables. Snack on fruit if an in between meal hunger pang comes on.
4. Some people the thought of exercising puts them straight off. Its vital exertion is included in diet time, as it helps speed up weight loss. You only get to keep a healthy body in life if exercise is part of it! Although certain gym work outs are a bonus to help rid excess weight and keep the body in shape, it doesn't mean you have to join a gym and run the treadmill at a pace that fears you.
5. Walking, jogging, dancing, cycling, skipping, skating and swimming all increase the metabolic rate and burn calories. Exercise is best done under supervision, that is till you reach a stage when you know what's what. Half an hour a day of exercise will make a huge impact on overall health, whilst at the same time deal with the weight problem.
6. Don't skip the first meal of the day. You're likely to eat more than usual if you go without breakfast. Eat breakfast, followed by a decent size lunch and a light evening meal. If hunger kicks in mid morning/afternoon, snack on a piece of fruit, or a low fat yogurt. A handful of mixed nuts, seeds, or dried fruits will see to the grumbling belly.
7. It's a nap there's going to be times when dieting you'll feel hungry and deprived, if this happens eat off a smaller plate. Study at Cornell University took a group of 85 nutrition experts-a population with widespread education about healthy eating habits and gave them either a 34 oz. or 17 oz. bowl. They were asked to help themselves from a selection of different flavoured ice-creams. Interestingly, the nutrition experts who had been handed bigger bowls helped themselves to 31% more ice cream resulting in an average calorie intake of 225 calories compared to the 144 calories consumed by those with 17 oz bowls. This proves, because we automatically eat about 92% of the foods we put on our plate, swapping to a smaller one, is a highly effective way of tricking ourselves into eating less.
8. Fat is not good in a diet, however you are not to cut it out altogether because some fats contain essential fatty acids. Be wary about chocolate, Chinese takeaways, crisps, greasy chips, puddings, cakes, biscuits and cheese. Good fats found in oily fish, sunflower or flaxseed oil, avocados, nuts and seeds, and reduced fat dairy foods are vital for a strong immune system.
