Everyone struggles from time to time with weight loss.   You go to the internet to find the best ways to lose weight fast, and what happens, about a million different sites pop up claiming they can help you with weight loss and losing weight faster than the next site or program.   Here are four tips to help you lose weight fast and keep off the weight!

Tip #1-expend more calories- losing weight is not rocket science.   The concept of energy in EQUALs energy out is the take home message here.  You need to burn more calories than you take in in order to lose weight.    You can accomplish this by keeping track of your calories for each meal or snack, then determine from there where you might be able to cut a few calories.    Another tip to cutting calories: Exercise.  Exercise can burn more calories and build more muscle which will help with increasing metabolism

Tip #2-Eat more- now some people out there are going to look at this one and think what are they crazy?  But it is true!  If your body is constantly in starvation mode, your body will hold on to your fat and burn your protein stores, i.e. you muscle as fuel to keep your body going.     Increasing your calories intake with  whole foods, fruits and vegetables and lean proteins will provide the body the energy it need to keep moving and help burn more fat

Tip #3-drink more water- now this seems like a silly on to add in, but increasing your water intake does a lot in the body.   When your body is dehydrated all the systems of the body have to work harder, especially the liver, which can break down food into the proper nutrients.  All body processes require water to break things down.   Without water, the body has to work extra hard.   On a side note, drinking water in between meals can also give you a feeling of fullness, so you are less likely to grab something to snack on.


Tip #4-eat more protein- protein can come in a number of different ways, lean meats like steak, turkey, chicken and fish, but can also can come in supplement form as protein powder or protein drinks.  Protein helps to provide the building blocks for muscle but also can make us feel fuller for longer periods of time.    Protein also increases the thermic effect in the body.  For more on thermic effects, check out this article on the Thermic Effect of Protein.

Eating more calories if you are in a deficit, expending more calories through diet and exercise, increasing your water intake and increasing your protein intake will help you lose weight and keep it off.   These tips, in part with a balanced nutritious diet, will help you lose weight fast and get your to that sexy slim body you have been dreaming about.
