1) Fettuccini, Linguini, No Bikini – Carbohydrate enriched foods such as pastas contain large amounts of calories and fat. If you must satisfy your pasta urge, try using thin pasta such as angel hair and increase your normal sauce to pasta ratio (provided your sauce is relatively low fat in nature such as a tomato sauce). Cut down on your intake and you will cut down on your weight.
2) No Food Like Whole Food – Unsaturated foods such as fruits are great substitute snacks. Whole foods can also be used to create dishes that are not only cost effective, but delish. Try making a soup using just broths and sliced veggies such as zucchini, onions, tomatoes, and celery. These basic foods are great because they are very filling and are limited in fat and calories.
3) Snack-aholic – Eating small meals and snacks throughout your day will decrease you’re overall hunger dramatically. It gives time for your body to digest and recognize that you are full, versus shoveling a pile of food into your mouth all at once. Some great snacks are crackers, popcorn, fruit, salad, and raisins.
4) Beer Belly –If you already suffer from an alcohol problem, this is only more reason to lay low on the drinks as it can help you lose weight quick. Need a good buzz going? Switch out beer for a couple of shots of vodka or whiskey. Remember to please drink responsibly.
5) Sauté? Hey Hey! – Instead of deep frying or cooking with a pan, use grills, bake, or roast your food. Major potato chip companies are even starting to bake their chips instead of using traditional methods. Who doesn’t enjoy grilled salmon, steak, or a burger? Cook the fat out of your food, not back into them.
6) Fill Me or Kill Me – Whether eating out or eating at home, start your meal off with low calorie dishes such as salads and soups, and then move onto your main meal. Try to drink at least a glass of water with your meal, as this too helps to fill you up. The only good replacement for water would be tea in this case. Other beverages such as soda contain lots of sugar and calories.
7) Convert – Convert your everyday food to low fat food. Change your milk to skim milk, swap cold cuts such as salami with turkey, exchange sundaes with low fat ice cream; there are a million and a half ways to convert everyday high-fat foods with great, low-fat food.
By following all of these tips to lose weight quick, you can see a dramatic and noticeable weight loss.
