Tips For Losing Weight Fast

Reasons to lose weight fast vary but everyone wants quick and easy ways to lose weight. It's not always easy trying to lose weight, because it often involves a restrictive diet and it may not work for long-term results. The best diets are the ones you can stick with on a long-term basis that involve taking in fewer calories than you burn. But if you have a special occasion arise, or you just need to take off a few pounds to get into that pair of jeans, there are a few simple tips for losing weight fast.

1. Limit Calorie Intake and Carbohydrates:

You have to learn how to eat the right foods and when to eat them to keep your metabolism going and make you feel more energetic. Diet tips that involve starving yourself don't work on a long-term basis, as your metabolism will adjust in a few days, and you will plateau or even gain weight. However, you should take in fewer calories than you burn, and for quick weight loss, that is 1,000 a day for a woman and 1,500 for men.

The calories you consume should be no carbohydrates- so mainly meats, eggs and vegetables, such as celery, onions, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, asparagus or cauliflower. Avoid starches such as rice, pasta, potatoes, corn and bread, because carbohydrates in these items turn to sugar when they are metabolized. This is the principal behind the Atkins and South Beach diets.

2. Eat smaller portions, five times a day:

It is better to eat regular everyday foods, in small portions, five times a day, (3 meals and low calorie snack in between) and never eat anything after 7pm at night when on a diet. This keeps your body metabolizing, and keeps you satisfied, but does not allow enough excess to turn into fat stores. Avoid low fat items that can be expensive and many have a higher calorie content. Just because it says it is low fat doesn't mean it is low calorie. The best thing is to eat healthy food, in small mini-meals, still watching calorie content.

3. Drink plenty of water:

You always hear this tip, but you may not realize how much this can help you when you need to lose weight fast. Since a lot of your body weight is made up of water, you may hear people that have lost ten pounds of "water weight" after fasting for a few days. When they start eating right again, they gain it back. It is true that adults should drink 8 glasses of water per day to keep the body hydrated. It flushes out toxins, as well as fat released from cells during weight loss. In addition, it helps you feel full between meals. To lose weight fast, you need to cut out sodas and even fruit juices, which contain sugar. Instead you should substitute water, unsweetened tea and coffee.

If you follow these 3 tips for losing weight fast, you will. You need to maintain a balanced diet taking in the number of calories you burn to maintain the weight loss.
