Losing weight is not easy, yes you read that correctly!Despite all of the fad diets on the market that promise you huge weight losses in a matter of days, and all the really low calorie meal replacement diets (like shakes) that are around, losing weight is not easy or fast.
However much anyone promises you it is going to be easy to lose weight, it isn't, it takes work and commitment on your part.
Once you have accepted this in your own mind, you will find that your weight loss goals will become much more achievable as you will stop putting undue pressure on yourself.
You can and will succeed in your weight loss goals, and here are a few quick and easy tips to help you: 1.
Drink Lots of Water Water can be a great help when you are trying to lose weight.
Not only does water hydrate the body, but it is also a natural filler.
Drinking water will trick your body into thinking it is full.
Try drinking at least two glasses of water before eating your meals - you will notice that you are just not feeling quite as hungry as you were.
As your appetite will be much smaller, you will eat less and this can help you to shift those pounds.
Sometimes when you think you are hungry, you are actually thirsty as the two sensations are similar - so when you feel hungry try a glass or two of water first.
Another great advantage with drinking plenty of water while you are following a diet, is that it will help your skin to retain its elasticity and therefore help you to avoid that awful loose skin look that can so often accompany a large weight loss.
2.
Eat More At first glance this may sound odd, but it doesn't mean eat more of anything, but eat more of the high fiber foods.
The reason is that these also act as a natural filler, so when you consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit as well as other high fiber foods such as grains etc, you will feel full up for longer than when you eat junk foods.
You will also be less likely to start binge eating as your body will feel satisfied for longer.
Try a high fiber cereal for breakfast, use wholemeal breads and eat raw vegetables as snacks and you will find you are naturally eating much more fiber.
3.
Eat Smaller Portions More Often Another great tip for helping you to successfully lose weight fast is to make your servings smaller at each meal.
It's also known that eating 5 or 6 times a day can make you feel fuller for longer.
If you follow this 'grazing' method of dieting you will find that you don't feel so hungry which is great because you will then be less likely to reach for those high sugar snacks.
