Fastest way to lose weight
The quickest way to lose weight is through diet and exercise, end of story. How do you burn more calories than you take in?
Starving yourself is silly because it sends your body into a low calorie burning mode, and it could cause serious health problems. Like so many other things slow and steady wins the race.
Combining a healthy diet with exercise is a long term method for the quickest way to lose weight. That’s without the yo-yo effect of many fad diets.
Diet means the everyday way you eat, not a short term gimmick for losing weight. Foods from each food group are part of a healthy, balanced diet. From there adjust down calories during periods when some weight loss is needed.
If it sounds like a daunting task consider that you likely already eat the foods necessary, just in too large quantities.
For many people it’s a simple matter of cutting down portion sizes to move from bad eating to good eating. Even the chocolate cake or cookies can fit into a well balanced diet, if eaten in small quantities. The three no no white foods - white bread, white rice, and sugar - can easily be replaced in your diet.
Eating whole grain bread instead of white bread, brown rice instead of white rice, and fruits instead of sugary foods are quick changes that don’t require eating much less. .
The key to maintaining a healthy diet is planning. When you fail to plan you skip meals, that leads to binge eating. When you fail to plan you often find yourself at the mercy of a fast food restaurant or a friend whose menu leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to healthy foods.
Plan meals in advance, including for occasions like parties and social gatherings. It only takes a few questions to find out what’s on the menu and plan the days other meals accordingly to not ruin your diet. Don’t let a failure worry you. Sometimes you’ll eat the wrong things. But when you get bucked off get right back on. Get back to the diet.
As for exercise do 30 minutes of aerobic exercise seven days a week. That’s the goal, don’t worry if you miss a day here or there. Add extra exercise such as parking further from the store or office for a little walk, or taking stairs instead of the elevator.
Simple math means good diet plus exercise equals the quickest way to lose weight.
