Fast Weight Loss Diets - May Not Be So Fast Afterall by mistabiola: 9:10am On Dec 16, 2014
Fast Weight Loss Diets are everywhere. The first thing you need to ask yourself is, ARE THEY SAFE?

Some diet plans can do a lot more harm than good. Fad
diets such as the grapefruit diet for example, may work
only up to a point. When you have lost the weight and the
diet is done, you go back to the same way of eating and
what happens? The weight comes back and if you are not
careful you may just try to make up for lost time and add
on a few more pounds.

If you only have a few pounds to lose then by all means try
one of the many fast weight loss diets available so you can
get into that dress for the wedding. But, if you have a lot of
weight to lose you will need to make some lifestyle changes
to get to your ideal weight.

• Take A Minute To Write Down Your Weight Loss Goals:
Keeping track of what you eat in a journal will let you see
what you are putting in your body so if it needs to be
changed you can change it. Writing in a journal everyday is
very effective in helping you lose weight.

• Learn About Food: When you figure out how many
calories are in what you eat you will be able to put meals
together that are nutritionally balanced and satisfying.
Knowing what the right numbers are helps a lot too.

You can figure out how many calories you need in a day by
calculating your basal metabolic rate, or BMR, or you can
simply make up a meal plan that has enough food to equal
1500 calories or so.

However, learning to eat differently may take some practice
and careful planning. When I tell you that you need to eat
small meals throughout your day you are going to say you
do not have the time to do that because you are at work.
Well then, I will say that yes you can with some precise
planning.

You are going to start taking your lunch and snacks to work
with you. Stop wasting money and gaining weight by eating
out when you are at work. Save your wallet and your
waistline by buying an insulated lunch box and healthy
food to put in it.

Now you need to figure out what to put in it. Well, how
about a 6 ounce container of yogurt and some carrot sticks.
With an 8 ounce glass of water that is a great snack for the
middle of the morning. For your lunch, why not have a
sandwich made of lean turkey breast with some light mayo
and lettuce and a cup of grapes or some baked chips. Don't
forget the pickle on the side! There are a lot of things you
can do to make sure you eat small meals throughout your
day.

There are countless combinations of foods for snacks and
meals. Get creative, try some new things, you might find
you have a broader range of foods you like therefore giving
yourself even more options.

- Do not forget to pack enough food for two snacks, one in
the morning and one in the afternoon.

- Do your best to drink enough water during the day, too.
The more the better. Stay away from pop and caffeinated
beverages like coffee. Caffeine has a drying effect on the
body and can contribute to dehydration. Drink lots of
water. A good way to figure out how much you should drink
is divide what you weigh by half and drink that amount in
ounces of water everyday. Or you can start by striving to
drink 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water each day. It is just easier
that way.

If you do start one of the fast weight loss diets and there
are a lot of restrictions to the diet, you may need to take a
supplement to get the vitamins and minerals you need.

Here is one highly recommended weightloss supplement
Acai Berry
