Losing weight takes more than just obeying some long list of instructions, working out and just knowing the basics. It starts right from your mind, and will take determination and perseverance to be able to complete this mission of losing weight efficiently.
By now, you probably know the drill when it comes to losing weight: take in fewer calories, burn more calories. But you should also know that most fad diets and quick weight-loss plans don’t work as promised. If you’re trying to drop a few pounds fast, these expert tips will make it easy for you to do so.
1. Eat more of Protein
It’s no longer new news that protein is a great helper if you’re really looking forward to losing weight. An example of a good protein food is fish. Certain types of fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which promote fat loss by kicking your metabolism into high gear. Omega-3 acids and protein perform the same kind of action in terms of our dieting, which is to naturally burn calories while helping you keep your appetite in check throughout the day.
2. Keep yourself hydrated at all times
Staying well hydrated is very essential to weight loss. Thirst sometimes can be misjudged for hunger, so instead of reaching out for water, lot’s of people just assume that they’re hungry and reach out for food. But then drinking a lot of water will lead to using the toilet more often. To avoid this, add a pinch of Celtic salt or real salt to your water before drinking. What happens is that the electrolytes in the salt help to push water into the cells where they are needed, rather than letting the water get flushed out.
3. Always make sure you get enough sleep
Lot’s of people seem to think that if they train really hard and sleep less, it would somehow help in the quest of weight loss. But this is far from the truth. As a matter of fact, good sleep is one of the most important things to consider for your physical and mental health.
Studies have shown that poor sleep is one of the major risk factors for obesity and adults with poor sleeping habits have a 55% greater risk of becoming obese. Chronic levels of sleep deprivation cause the release of cortisol, our old fat-storing friend. The biggest spike in (fat-burning, anabolic) growth hormone plasma levels occurs in deep sleep.
4. Eat and Chew Slowly
This has been tested and results have shown that most people that eat their lunch slowly tend to consume less food than those that eat in a rush. The quicker we eat, the less time the body has to register fullness. So slow down, and take a second to savor.
5. Have nuts between meals
Instead of having in-between meals, it is preferable to get nuts (e.g. walnuts, peanuts, cashew nuts). This is will help you deal with cravings especially between meals.
Conclusion
Follow these sure tips for the best weight loss results. Remember the first few weeks of most weight loss plans are usually promising, but as time goes on, you might hit a plateau and lose some steam. It is important that you stay consistent and not give up when this happens.
