When attempting to lose weight fast many dieters naturally reduce their food consumption. To a certain degree this is correct the body must be in a state of “negative energy balance”. That is, we need to consume less calories than our body burns each day in order to start losing

Tips for losing weight fast:

Reduce calorie intake by 250-500 per day by substituting most high calorie foods for low fat varieties

Keep this reduction going for at least one week or until you reach a weight loss plateau that lasts more than 4 days, then reduce calories by a further 200 per day

Provide a little high quality protein with most meals or preferably combine the low fat plant foods together at each meal

Start an approved weight training program to maintain muscle and increase metabolism

Gently raise the intensity level of the weights program forcing the body to hold onto muscle as calorie intake is lowered gradually over time

Perform aerobic activities on the days in-between the weights sessions to help burn fat directly

Drink plenty of water all day to maintain energy levels

Reduce sodium intake by preparing meals using fresh, natural and wholesome ingredients

Never go below 1500 calories per day, simply exercise more often when if this target is reached
