Need some extra ideas on how to speed up weight loss? Follow our top 10
tips to help you on your way to quick weight loss. Each tip may seem
simple – but combined and followed properly these 10 steps will help to
significantly boost your weight loss!
STOP AT 7!
This is a fundamental rule of easy weight loss! Obviously the time
you stop eating depends on your routine and lifestyle – but as a rule
you should stop eating a good 3 to 4 hours before you plan on going to
bed. You need to give your body time to work off your meals, and eating
any later than this means that it will struggle to metabolise your meal.
Your lunch should be the largest portion of food you eat in your day as
your body has plenty of time and energy left to burn those calories
off, helping you towards quick weight loss.
EAT MIRACLE FOODS!
Did you realise that there are certain things that you can eat that
actually contain less calories than your body burns while you eat them?!
To me, that is a small miracle! So if you want to snack – snack on
those foods for easy weight loss. Choose from celery, cucumber,
watermelon, blueberries, lettuce, green beans, grapes or pears .
DETOX
Detoxing is a great way to fast weight loss. The detox process
flushes our system of toxins that build up and stop our bodies from
functioning efficiently. There are various products to help you detox,
depending on how you prefer to do it. But a simple way to start to
cleanse your system is to start taking a detox supplement such as the
Detox Tablet from Silver Slimming.
EXTRA ACTIVITY
Research has shown that getting several short bursts of activity into
each day is just as effective in achieving easy weight loss as 1 hour
long cardio session. And this is good news because there are ways of
getting those bursts in to your day without having to make extra time
and in ways that you will hardly notice! Starting today, if there are
stairs climb them! Avoid the elevator when ever you possibly can. Park
your car at the back of the car park and walk briskly. Get off the bus
one or even two stops earlier than usual. Every time you are waiting for
the kettle to boil or the microwave to ping, do squats or jog on the
spot! By introducing these small things into every day you will be
raising your heart rate and building your fitness levels. If those
stairs leave you breathless today, wait until this time next week – you
will see an improvement! And all of this will
burn calories and keep your metabolism going throughout the day.
BREAKFAST
It really is the most important meal of the day. Eat a big breakfast
that is sensible and low in saturated fat and your metabolism gets to
work, burning off calories for the rest of the day. It is that simple!
GO GREEN
Green tea that is! Drinking green tea or
taking it as a supplement
has been proven to have huge health benefits. Not only does it reduce
cholesterol and slow down the aging process but it also is known for its
weight loss properties as It helps your body to digest fats and speed
up metabolism.
Pu-erh tea is a good tea to try after each meal to help with fast weight loss.
FIBRE
Make sure your diet is rich in fibre. Foods like figs, chickpeas,
brown rice, beans, bran, nuts and strawberries are all a good source of
fibre. It is so beneficial because it not only fills you up, but it
powers through your system, flushing it out and taking fats and protein
with it!
DRINK!
No not alcohol! Water. Making sure you stay hydrated is so important.
Aim to drink at least a litre a day. Firstly, it fills your tummy
making you feel full and so less likely to crave food. Secondly when you
are dehydrated your brain will try to let your body know it needs
water, but this often feels like hunger to us. And so we will eat
instead of simply drinking some water. When your body is hydrated your
metabolism keeps ticking along, burning fat! And lastly, it is worth
remembering that drinking ice cold water actually burns calories! As
much as 60 a day!
START EARLY
Well you know you have to start eating a good healthy breakfast to
start off each day, but its also the best time of day to get moving!
There is no getting away from it – Research has shown that we can burn 3
times as much fat in a morning work out than we can at any other time
of the day. By kick starting your body like this every day it will keep
on working at top speed for the rest of the day. And that means fat
burning galore! You are feeling at your most energetic and more likely
to give it your all, unlike at the end of a long day when the last thing
you feel like is exercising. And the best thing is – if you do
something the instant you get out of bed you are more likely just to do
it – and not put it off!
CHOOSE WISELY
Finally, whenever you feel yourself lose motivation and are starting
to give in to temptation, ask your self to make a choice. It’s a little
psychological trick that I use and it works every time! Ask your self
“which do I want more – this cake/pizza/burger or comfortable size 10
jeans”? Imagine both of these options are actually in front of you and
all you have to do is take one and its yours. Which one would you
choose? As silly as it sounds it is important to remember that it is
actually that simple – it is a series of small choices like this that
will eventually pay off! And sooner than you think if you start to
implement these weight loss tips now!
