The Fastest Weight Loss Diet
Losing weight doesn’t have to take forever, here’s the 8 simple steps that will create the fastest weight loss diet.
1 – For the fastest weight loss diet – you need to start out doing it one step at a time.
How can you make improvements in your diet if you don’t know what your diet IS? in business, they say that nothing can be improved if it isn’t watched. It’s true in weight loss too. Start a simple food diary. Write down everything you eat and drink and in a few days you will have a solid jumping off point to make improvements.
Then start cutting back on the bad foods and implementing more healthy foods.
Next in our one day at a time system for creating the fastest weight loss diet is working out. Yup, you have to exercise. But, it can be painless here too. Start off slow, maybe 15-30 minutes and slowly bump up the duration and intensity as you start feeling better and better.
2 – Success in your fastest weight loss diet will boil down to whether or not you can stick with it…so select foods and activities that you enjoy doing.
Check the glycemic index chart and find foods that are a better option than what you are now eating, but that you still like! There’s tons of tasty options and any time you can switch one food for a lower ranking one, even if it’s only a couple points difference…you are making progress.
Hate stomach crunches with a passion? Does the thought of another mind numbing jog bring you to tears? Make your exercising FUN! Try dancing around the house! (No not just dancing, I mean DANCING!) Grab the kids and make a contest out of who can dance the wildest! You’ll feel like a fool but you’ll all be rolling on the floor laughing before it’s over. Try tennis, anything…just get moving.
3 – In addition to aerobic type exercise, to really boost your fastest weight loss diet into overdrive, start to build and tone your muscles.
To lose weight, we want to burn off more calories than we take in…pound for pound, muscle burns more calories than fat! Plus, you get a nice added bonus – muscle burns calories even when not being used. You could lose weight while sleeping or watching TV! Add some weight training into your daily routine and you will really speed up your metabolism. You’ll look and feel better and it will be easier to stay that way.
4 – Your body needs carbohydrates in the mix. Don’t cut them out completely, but scale back. Your body digests carbs and turns them into glucose which is the blood sugar you hear so much about. In your fastest weight loss diet plan, you need enough carbs to keep up your energy and body functions without having “left-overs’ that get stored as fat. Try substituting foods that rank lower on the glycemic foods index.
5 – One of the biggest problems with people carrying through with their fastest weight loss diet is goal setting. Either they don’t set a goal at all, which is a disaster, or they make their goals unrealistic. Either way is a killer. Choose goals you know you can attain and make them measurable by setting deadlines. Set short term AND long term goals.
The size of the goal is less important than your ability to stick with it. Losing 1 pound a week for 50 weeks is far better than losing 10 pounds in 3 days…giving up… and gaining back 25.
6 – To reach a successful conclusion to your fastest weight loss diet, you need to cut out all the “empty calorie” foods. Candy, soft drinks, pastries are bad for you. It’s beyond the range of this article to get into explanations why, but they are far worse than you might ever imagine! And not just because they make you fat. That’s the least of it.
The good news is that when we cut these out of our diets, for most of us the pounds start melting away even if we do nothing else!
7 – To lose weight on the fastest weight loss diet, you have to eat. Not only that, you must have a good breakfast. It’s this that will trigger your metabolism and speed it up throughout the day. Go without and your metabolism slows way down and when you finally DO eat, your body thinks it has been in starvation and will still keep your metabolism at the low point. It stores the food as fat rather than using it as energy.
The earlier in the day you eat your calories, the better. Late night snacks are out.
8 – Mother always yelled at us to clean our plates but for the fastest weight loss diet, you’ve got to be willing to leave some behind. Take smaller portions. Portion control is difficult at first but gets easier with practice. Control what you put in your body and you will find weight loss (and keeping it off) to be relatively easy.
Start working these tips into your life…one day at a time…and you’ll soon realize that it really IS the fastest weight loss diet. Not just because of the weight loss, but because it stays off.
