Simple Weight Loss Strategies


by Carla Grant

If you are looking to lose weight and find yourself not making progress, then you may need to reevaluate your weight loss strategy. I would like to show you some changes to make to help you with your weight loss.

1. Drink plenty of water

While people are afraid to drink too much water because of water weight, they do not realize that they are actually doing the opposite. By depriving your body of water, it holds on to the water in your body. This can hold extra weight, anywhere between 3 and 8 pounds.

Drinking water dates back forever ago, it's a necessary part of your diet and always has been. If you want to drop weight fast and lose some extra pounds within a couple days, then drink extra water so that your urine is not dark yellow.

2. Starvation to drop the weight quicker

Even if you go without from eating, eventually it will catch up to you. So starving yourself is pointless. If you starve yourself then your body will go into emergency mode and hold on to the calories and nutrition. By starving yourself you are creating an unneeded battle with your body.

3. Eating big meals keeps you less hungry longer

NO THE WAY TO DO IT! The body needs tinier many meals for nutrition and substance. There are a couple reasons for this. Smaller meals take allow you to have a quicker metabolism since it does not need to digest as long.

As you digest food, you burn fat. Sounds the opposite would be taking place, but it is true. So by eating tinier meals more frequently, the more fat is burned. You can eat the same amount of food you would eat in 2-3 big meals, but just stretched out.

If you take my advice and remember these three tips, your weight toss journey should be a lot easier.
