Quick Weight Loss Diet Tips

If you are looking to lose weight, and you want to do it quickly, it can be achieved by taking some drastic measures. Your diet is the place you need to start. If you start your weight loss efforts correctly and have a clear plan of what you need to achieve then sooner or later you will achieve it. In this post we outline the most important weight loss tips you need to follow to kick start the process successfully.

1. Choose an alternative to Junk Food. Great tasting alternatives are everywhere; Nuts, my favorite are almonds and walnuts they each contain an abundance of Omega 3. Sunflower seeds, fruit, raw vegetables, especially carrots, broccoli, celery. Choose popcorn, soy crisps, rice cakes, fresh fruits and vegetables, and almonds instead of chips and candy bars.

2. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So eat a healthy breakfast as it fulfills the body's requirement for nutrients. If you have a good breakfast in the morning, then you may feel less hungry in the afternoon and have a smaller meal. This is one of the ways to lose weight fast.

3. Get more fiber in your diet. Fiber is a non-digestible substance that can offer you a number of benefits when it comes to losing weight. It creates bulk in your stomach, it keeps you feeling full longer and it can prevent you from eating excess calories. The Mayo Clinic recommends that women get 21 to 25 grams a day and men get 30 to 38 grams a day. Fiber can be found in foods like fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds.

4. Include soups, especially Japanese miso soup, with your lunch and diner. Any soup is good as it will help fill you up with few calories, but miso soup is made of fermented soy bean paste and natural sea salt that helps reduce sugar and chocolate cravings. It is also low in calories and will help reduce appetite. Include wakame in this soup, which is a highly nutritious seaweed, and you have a very nutritious addition to your meal that will be an important element in your weight loss and ongoing weight management.

5. Beware of artificial sweeteners! NutraSweet, saccharin, Aspartame, all increase your cravings for carbohydrates and sweets. They each carry with them other cancer causing properties and neurological warnings as well.

6. Eat small meals (like 6 to 7 meals) at regular intervals instead of three large meals in a day. This diet plan will ensure that the calorie intake is controlled and at the same time you have a proper meal.

7. Eat an umeboshi every day. This is a pickled plum you can get at your International or Asian market and at many health food outlets. It will aid digestion, relieve heartburn and reduce sugar and chocolate cravings.
