There are many ways to lose body weight fast. You can try diet pills, fad diets and fasting. These options, though they will enable you to lose weight quickly, can cause you a great deal of harm. It is better to choose a natural weight loss strategy as a safer alternative for quick weight loss. This process can by rewarding and quite simple.
Step 1
Cut your calorie intake. To lose 1 lb., you must create a 3,500-calorie deficit. You can easily do this by cutting down on high-fat, high-sugar foods. Cut sodas, cakes, cookies and fast food out of your diet.
Step 2
Drink plenty of water--at least eight glasses per day--because water serves as an appetite suppressant that keeps your stomach full and fends off dehydration (which can cause false feelings of hunger).
Step 3
Eat several small meals per day instead of just three large ones. Make sure you eat the most during breakfast. Eat as soon as you wake up in the morning to avoid feeling hunger later on in the day. If you work during the day, you can eat at 7:30 a.m., 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 4 p.m., 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Step 4
Eat a diet rich in fiber to help your stomach digest food properly and make you feel full for a longer period of time. You can consume fiber from food choices including chickpeas, apples, strawberries, figs, potatoes, beans, bran, brown rice and nuts.
Step 5
Chew each mouthful of your food for about 30 seconds to help you slow down your eating speed. Take a break from eating whenever you are halfway through eating a meal.
Step 6
Start exercising at a local gym. If you feel unsure about working out at a particular gym, get a free trial membership to develop a better feel of the environment. Do an intense cardiovascular workout at the gym at least two times per week for at least 45 minutes per session. Do weight training three times each week as well.
Step 7
Keep yourself busy to keep from sitting on your couch too frequently, which can lead you to overeat and gain weight. Attend public events and join clubs to stay active and meet new people.
Tips and Warnings
- Drinking water helps your body metabolize fat that is stored in it by enabling your kidneys to eliminate waste, thus contributing to weight loss. Fiber is found only in plant foods that your body is unable to digest, which causes it to simply go through your body. Eating fiber decreases the calories you consume by enabling you to eliminate fat along with fiber. Foods high in fiber are also usually low in calories as well as filling, so you can reduce your overall calorie intake through consuming fiber-rich food.
