Lose Weight Fast - 10 Easy Ways To Knock Weight Off Quickly!

We all need motivation and want to see results quickly and this diet that lasts for just a week is an ideal way to get started. It is guaranteed to help you.

Many people knock off up to half a stone and you can to.

This is not a long term diet, just to get you in the mood and show some quick results.

Now your started, here are your tips.

Note: Eat what you want within the guidelines and you will lose weight fast.

2. Eat 5 meals a day. 3 main meals breakfast lunch and dinner and two snacks in between

This will help you avoid hunger pangs. Make sure you eat breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day.

Man is a grazer not a binger and we need constant nourishment throughout the day.

3. Portion Size

While you can eat 5 meals a day keep in mind portion size!

The way to gauge portion size is look at your fist.

Want some rice? Then that's the amount you can have same goes for meat & fish and vegetables

4. Drink water

Drink two - three litres of iced water a day.

Many hunger pangs are simply thirst pangs, so to keep you hydrated and full drink plenty of water.

Water helps your body metabolize fat by helping the kidneys flush out waste.

When you don't drink enough water the liver which works to provide stored fat for energy also takes on the role of helping the kidneys flush out waste and is then less effective at metabolizing fat.

5. Eat carbohydrates, protein and fat

Don't ignore any group.

When eating remember to eat "naturally from the earth", the less processed the food is the better.

What this means is eat healthy carbohydrates such as brown rice or potatoes, rather than pizza.

With fat it's the same unstaturated rather than saturated fats. When consuming proteins make sure its lean protein.

6. Eat fibre and lots of it

Eating lots of foods rich in fibre helps keep food moving through your bowels.

Fiber bulks you up and makes you feel full.

The average person could lose around 10 pounds a year just from doubling their fiber intake. Start your day with a high fiber cereal and keep eating all day.

7. Lean protein

Protein can help you lose weight fast tool because of the immediate satiety factor it provides.

Protein also balances out carbs by stopping insulin spikes that can lead to low energy and sugar cravings.

Finally, protein helps maintain muscle mass which is important in the fat burning process.

At least 20% of calories per day should be in the form of lean protein.

8. Keep healthy food on hand

With our busy lives its easy to simply grab some junk food, so make sure you have healthy food always at hand so you can make a quick tasty snack.

Canned fish is ideal such as tuna, mackerel sardines or Salmon. Open the can, do a baked potato in the microwave, add some vegetables and you have a quick nutritious meal in under 10 minutes.

9. One day a week eat what you want!

One of the reasons most people fail on diets and don't lose weight fast is they are to strict.

When you are deprived of something you want it even more, so one day a week ( it doesn't matter which ) treat yourself.

Fancy a pizza go ahead, two Big Macs maybe? Do it and don't feel guilty.

Keep dieting in perspective.

If you are eating healthy food the majority of time treating yourself will do you no harm and also keep you on the right track.

Eating is one of the pleasures of life so don't deprive yourself totally of things you like.

10. Be realistic

If you follow the above guidelines you can eat what you want and lose weight fast.

Keep in mind once you are doing the above your weight will go down quicker than with any fad diet.

Don't starve yourself this wont help.

Crash dieting is unhealthy and the pounds soon come back on.

Stay with the above and you will soon lose weight fast and reach the weight you desire in a healthy manner.

Why You May Not Be Losing Weight On Weight Watchers

I guess this really isn't exclusive to Weight Watchers, but one of the problems that comes up is when you either stop losing weight, or it slows down considerably. I have gone through it, and in some ways am going through it right now, but I wanted to share with you my theory on why this happens... and specifically what I'm doing with Weight Watchers.

In the first month weight drops off pretty quick. You are losing a lot of water weight (which is a good thing - you don't want your body retaining that water), and you naturally lose weight as you begin taking in fewer calories.

\"losing Weight\"

Then, the second and third months hit, and you may go days or weeks only losing 1 or 2 pounds, or none at all. I have a theory on why this is. I am not a doctor nor do I have a medical degree, but I think I know what I'm talking about with this theory.

Why You May Not Be Losing Weight On Weight Watchers

I believe your body doesn't naturally want to lose weight. It wants to survive. I know that there were days in the past when I was easily eating 3500-4500 calories in a day, but 2500-3000 was probably more the normal range. Your body adjusts to that amount. Your body is working to survive, burning off as many calories as possible. What my body couldn't burn off, it stored as fat.

The opposite then becomes true when you cut your calories. For example, when I began Weight Watchers I cut my food intake and was doing 57 points per day, I was eating less calories and I lost weight in that first month. BUT, my body wants to survive. So, it stops burning so many calories because there are less coming in. The body wants to conserve energy, and tries to find a balance between what you are taking in and what it needs to survive.

That is one of the reasons I think people on Weight Watchers feel tired. Their body is slowing down to conserve energy to balance what is being taken in. Therefore, it becomes harder to lose weight because you are fighting against your body's natural instinct to survive.

So, what do you do? Just doing Weight Watchers points is not enough. You might slowly but surely lose a pound or two, but that gets VERY discouraging. If you are like me, you can only take so many weeks of not losing weight, sticking with the plan, until it's time to give up.

Let me give you what I think are the two best ways to keep losing weight on Weight Watchers that I have found:

First, I have to exercise. My metabolism over the last decade had gotten extremely slow and low. I have found that it takes a very long time to begin building up your metabolism again through exercise. But, I have to exercise. It's not optional no matter what any website or infomercial says.

I need to force my body to burn more calories than it wants to in order to survive. If my body needs 2000 calories a day to survive, and I am eating 2000 calories, I will not lose much weight. I can begin eating less than 2000 calories, but my body will soon adjust to survive. So, I need to increase the number of calories my body needs as fuel than what I am eating. And, the way that happens is through exercise.

By walking, doing Bowflex, hiking, treadmills, health clubs, or whatever, I can increase what my body needs to 2200 or 2300 calories a day. As I continue to exercise, I can increase my metabolism and even take that number higher. As an extreme example, think of Michael Phelps in the Olympics. He is constantly eating 8,000 - 12,000 calories a day because his body is burning that many a day to keep up with his training and competition. When he is not competing, I am sure he eats a lot less, otherwise he would balloon up like I had.

So, if I am only eating 2000 calories a day (or 53 Weight Watcher points), but my body needs 2300 for that day because of my increased metabolism and exercise, my body will then take stored fat and convert it into the energy it needs (something I learned on the Atkins diet). Therefore, I can lose weight again.

Second, I need to use my Weekly Weight Watcher Points too. One of the popular weight loss infomercials a couple years ago was the Skinny Switch Diet. It was a low carb-type diet, but it allowed 2 meals or 2 foods a week that were anything - ice cream, pizza, cookies, cake, or whatever. The purpose of this was to "trick" your body that you had extra calories, carbohydrates, fats, etc. coming in. So, rather than your body continuing to adjust to the decreasing amount of carbohydrates coming in, because of this high carb snack or meal, it kind of "resets" your body's instinct to survive.

I think the same thing can be said of the extra Weekly Weight Watcher Points we get. For example, I get 49 points per week. I may not use all of them. I may not use any of them. Or, I may blow it wide open and use them all in one day (54+49 points = a lot of food in one day). What this does is it can "reset" your body's natural instinct to survive, tricking it into thinking you have more calories coming in again. It can help keep your body from ever adjusting downward in order to survive, at least a little bit.

Most people are afraid to use these points, like they are taboo. I speak with people who haven't used any of their weekly points in months. It's time to use some of them and get your body out of survival mode and back into fat burning mode.

So, there you go. My theory is 3 parts:

1. Stick with the Weight Watchers Plus Points System. It works. It's proven.
2. Exercise to increase metabolism and burn more calories in a day than my body needs, thus losing weight
3. Splurge now and then to keep my body from being too predictable and routine.

How To Lose Weight While Pregnant

While it is never safe to go on any diet to lose weight during pregnancy, there are things that you can do to stay healthy and get in shape. Diets that are focused on losing weight can harm your baby and you. You and your baby need so many nutrients during this time it is not smart to actually try to lose weight like you normally would.

It is smart however to get your body in shape. You want to be prepared for labor, to make it as easy as you possibly can. Exercise also can make you feel better about yourself and ease the aches and pains of pregnancy.

\"Lose Weight\"

What are the benefits of exercising during pregnancy?

How To Lose Weight While Pregnant

Exercising while you are pregnant will boost your energy level. Instead of wanting to constantly sleep all the time, you will have more energy to move and get going.

Do you have aches and pains from the quick weight gain of pregnancy? Exercising can get your muscles moving around which will ease some of these aches and pains, ultimately making you feel better.

Another benefit of exercising during pregnancy is it will help you get back to your pre pregnancy weight faster. Why not give your future diet, "Losing baby weight after the baby" a kick start?

Can I continue my same workout I did pre pregnancy?

If you exercised regularly before getting pregnant, then you can continue the same workout and modify it as you need. It is not safe for you or baby to continue workouts such as skiing, horseback riding or any kind of contact sport. These activities can possibly cause bodily injury if you fall or get hurt and could hurt the baby.

What if I did not exercise at all before pregnancy?

If you did not exercise regularly before baby, it is not too late to start.

Take it slowly though, and let your body adjust to the new movements. Do not do anything that could jar the baby or hurt you or baby in anyway.

What workouts are safe for me and my baby?

You can try swimming, dancing, water aerobics, walking, biking, Pilates or yoga. Remember to take any workout slow, even if it does seem easy you do not want to harm you or baby.

How often should I workout?

Try working out 3 days a week. Remember to talk to your doctor and make sure it is safe for you and your baby before starting any workout.

Things to look for during a workout:

Stop working out if you become dizzy or have shortness of breathe. If your heart begins beating too hard, stop your workout. Any type of vaginal bleeding, call your doctor immediately and stop working out.

Other ways to stay in shape:

Eat 5 -6 small meals a day. Eating small meals throughout the day has been proven to speed your metabolism up and assist in losing weight.

Also eat healthy snacks like fruit, crackers and cheese.

Eat healthier.

Forget about all the junk food. You wouldn't stay in shape before your pregnancy eating them, you definitely won't during pregnancy.

Try eating more fruits and vegetables. Substitute fried for grilled foods.

Try to steer clear of fast food restaurants. Most fast food restaurants now have a healthy menu. So if you have to eat at one, try eating a grilled chicken sandwich rather than a hamburger or anything fried. They also now sell a variety of salads.

Remember before starting any workout regimen you should discuss it with your doctor. Not all pregnant women can workout and all pregnancies are different. Talk to your doctor before starting anything.

For normal pregnancies after you talk to your doctor, you should be able to stay in shape and be prepared for the big day!
