Can Quick Weight Loss Really Work?

Quick weight loss is promised by diets all the time. “Lose 10
pounds over night,” the ads will scream. Most people know in the
back of their mind that quick weight loss is either not healthy
or is a short term fix.

Most quick weight loss pounds are only water. Your body will
flush water out of your system and the scale will show a quick
weight loss of 3 to 10 pounds. The quick weight loss is however
short lived. The second you drink any fluids your body will hold
the water and your quick weight loss will disappear.

The short tem success of quick weight loss in a low carb diet is
also this loss of water. Dieters are excited when they see the
quick weight loss however this excitement is short lived. Once
carbs are introduced back into their diet, boom, there goes the
quick weight loss. Instead of being suckered into all the quick
weight loss claims, why don’t your try these common sense weight
loss tips to use when dining out to help you achieve long term
success. You won’t see a quick weight loss by following these
tips but you will see some really great long term changes in
your body.

1.) If you must have a dessert, split it with a friend.

2.) Start your meal with soup and a salad. If you fill up on
healthy foods first, you may eat less of the high calorie
entries.

3.) Immediately ask for a box to go and place half of your meal
in it. Not only will you cut calories but you now have an entire
additional meal for later.

4.) Ask for non-fat or low-fat dressing on the side when
ordering your salad. You can then control the portion size. A
high calorie dressing can add 200-400 additional calories to
your health salad.

5.) At a fast food restaurant, always order the small size. Did
you know a super size French fry at Mc Donald’s is 29g grams of
fat and 610 calories??

Once again, these simple restaurant tips will not result in
quick weight loss but if you start using these and other weight
loss tips every day, you will start seeing the long term success
you truly deserve. Always think long term and don’t be tricked
by diets that promise “incredible quick weight loss”.
