A Fast Way to Lose Weight

I think that at some time, this has probably applied to most people. The trouble is that there are lots of fad diets around that try to convince you that you can lose lots of weight over very short periods of time. These types of diet are just not healthy to follow, except perhaps, for very short periods at the start of a weight loss program if you have a lot of weight to lose.

If you do decide to go for one of these fast way to lose weight diets, then please make sure that you are going to be using it only short term, and that you are not going against the advice of your doctor.

If, however, you want to find a healthy fast way to lose weight, then there are lots of things you can do, which will help you to speed up your weight loss.

If you feel like a snack it's a good idea to have a glass of water first and then see how you feel in half an hour or so. You will probably find that you no longer have the urge to snack.

2. Eat less at a meal, but eat more often. If you eat 5 or 6 times a day you will generally feel fuller, but overall you will be eating less. Eating more often will also stop you from feeling hungry at any time during the day which will help to stop snacking. Your body will burn calories during and just after eating, so if you are eating lots of smaller meals a day, then it stands to reason that you will also be burning more calories than just eating 2 or 3 larger meals

This may sound very simple, but try and cut down your portion sizes at each meal. As your body will be burning fat during and after eating each meal you could try eating much smaller meals four or five times a day. This will have the added benefit of making you feel fuller so you should not feel hungry during the day. This of course will help you to stop snacking.

4. Try and cut down on some higher calorie treats. This does not mean that you have to stop having them all together, but if you can cut down the quantity you will be saving calories. So, for instance, if you are used to having a treat every day that is 200 calories, then you could trying having it every alternate day instead. This would save you 600 calories per week, which amounts to over half a pound of weight loss in a month. Well worth doing.

5. Make simple changes to your diet. Go for the low fat options when you can - this can save you quite a few calories over a month.

At the end of the day though, there is not a magic way to finding a fast way to lose weight. You need to watch what you eat and also to do some form of exercise. This way you will not fail to lose your weight.
