After all, we want to lose the weight fast and see results as soon as possible. There are 5 tips listed below to help give you that extra edge. To help motivate you, to burn that extra little bit of stubborn and to keep the pounds dropping.
1. Measure your food quantity
If your diet plan says eat 50 grams of carbs, stick to it and weigh your food. Eating 500 grams of carbs instead of only 50 will sabotage your weight loss plan
2. Keep a diary or journal to track your progress
Write down why you want to lose weight. Find out the real reason and your heart’s innermost desires. This reason will keep you motivated when results are disappointing or you are on the verge of giving up.
Success is never linear. You will zig-zag your way to success. For example, you may lose 2 pounds in 1 week and maybe gain a half pound the next week, and drop another 3 pounds the following week. It’s normal and happens to the best of us.
However, in the one week where you gain that half pound despite your best efforts, you may be so demoralised that you just want to give up. That is when you will open your journal to remind you of why you started and where you want to go.
3. Give yourself a cheat day every now and then
Every 5 or 6 days, have a cheat day where you eat all that you want. Don’t hold yourself back. Eat the chips, pizza, nachos, drink the soda, satisfy your cravings like you’ve never done before. Do not worry about gaining weight.
When you have a cheat day, you’ll be doing 2 things. First, you will be boosting your metabolic rate and starting the fat burning process on a more rapid pace. Your body will be shocked and reactivated. Secondly, you will experience a break and happiness. It is stressful to be on a diet for long periods.
4. Weigh yourself only once a week
It is horrible and depressing to weigh yourself every day to see if you have lost weight. Just set one day a week to weigh yourself. As tempting as it may be, do not weigh yourself at any other time.
Imagine working out like mad on day 1 and after 2 days not seeing any changes on the scale. It may seem like all the suffering was not worth it. This is very demotivating. So, just weigh yourself once and wait 7 days for the next weigh in.
5. Eat good fats
Yes, you read that right. You need to eat fats to lose fats. The catch here is that you need to eat good fats and in the right amounts. Almonds and avocados are good sources of good fats. So, is olive oil.
These are just a few tips that you can use to accelerate your fat loss. Always stay motivated, keep going and you will reach your desired fitness goals.
