Questions

The question should not be “How do I lose weight quickly?” It should be “How can I look better fast?” It is not possible to look superficially better by buying fancy clothes. How can we achieve this? It is important to get in shape quickly. If your goal is to look good, then you need to lose weight and build lean muscle mass. The same applies if your goal is to look good and be healthy. It is life-changing to focus on body proportions and not weight. If you’re wondering “How can I lose weight quickly?” These are the simple tips that have worked for me and my family.

What to do?

• Get enough water throughout the day. Do you feel hungry no matter what you eat? Are you constantly hungry, even though you have just had some? You might be dehydrated. Water makes up the majority of our bodies. It is the first element of all life. Water is essential for every cell. Drink half of your body weight in ounces each day. You should not drink too much at once, as it can make you feel bloated.
• Reduce the amount of ‘normal’ carbohydrates and include more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Normal carbs can be bread, rice, pasta, cereals, even whole wheat ones. You can also eat fruits and vegetables, which are better carbs. Although it may seem difficult to start, once you get used to it, it becomes second-nature. It is well worth the effort. You can substitute ‘carbs” with salad, and vice versa. I used to eat more rice and less vegetables before this. To lose weight, I ate lots of vegetables and very little rice (protein and nutritional fatty acids remained the same). This helped me lose weight quickly. It’s the natural multivitamins found in fruits and vegetables and the process of making normal carbs. You can eat all the fruits and vegetables you like because they are low-calorie.
• You should eat a small, balanced meal about every 2 to 4 hours, depending on how your body responds. You might be asking, “How can I lose weight fast by not eating so much?” First, most people gain weight because they eat too many calories. They can eat less than they need and still be overweight. They starve and eat too much at once. Second, starvation is not good for losing weight. According to the B.M.R theory to lose weight, you must have a caloric deficit. However, if you exceed this caloric deficit, the majority of your weight loss will be muscle loss and not fat loss. You will gain more weight over the long-term. You will not look any better in the long-term. You still have that ugly fat around ‘that’ region, while your ‘assets are getting smaller and less toned. Never skip your breakfast. Listen to your body for the first few days and determine your ideal meal frequency. Take a bite when you feel hungry, and stop if you feel unsatisfied.
• Reduce your intake of deep-fried foods and sodas. Reduce your intake of hydrogenated oil and added sugar. Did you know that 7-10 teaspoons of sugar is found in a can of soda? Imagine that you could put that much sugar into your tea or coffee. I prefer tea with 10 teaspoons of sugar to the less sweet soda. I love sugary food and I prefer tea with 10 teaspoons. This is dangerous. This is a fact I know from personal experience. Those who eat sugar every day and deep fry often will crave it, while those who only eat it once in a while will not miss it. They are also more harmful to people who aren’t in good health than those who do. You can put it in perspective. Which one is more sweet and lasts longer? How much sugar you consume or how much attention, compliments and attraction you receive from the sweet little girls and boys at the event? For one week, stop eating sodas and deep fries. You can eat more cheat meals once your metabolism and fitness levels increase.
• Do fat-burning exercise. Exercise is essential if you want to accelerate your fat loss. It ‘turns fat to muscles’. It’s not exactly. You can put it this way: where fat is lost, the growing muscle mass replaces it. More muscle means a higher metabolism. Newsflash: It is possible to burn fat and build lean muscle, but it is not possible to build massive muscle mass while simultaneously losing fat. Not all exercises are the same. What type of exercise is best for fat loss? This requires a whole new article. However, the best fat-burning exercises for fat loss are multi-joint, fast-burst, caloric-expensive exercises. Squat-Presses, for example, are better than Concentration Curls when it comes to fat loss. It does more work (caloric costly) and involves more muscle groups (multi-joint). A 20-minute session of high intensity interval training is better than boring 1-hour cardio. However, it is more intense and may require less work. This will set your body on an auto-fat-burning frenzy. You’ll burn calories not only during your workout but also for up to 36 hours afterwards (after-burn). Muscles are not built at the gym but during recovery. The whole day is when your body gains or loses body fat, not just during meals or exercise.
