Top Weight Loss Tips

1.  Eliminate white foods from your diet.  Sugar, refined flour, white bread and white potatoes cause dramatic elevations in blood sugar and equally dramatic dips that cause inflammation, leave you tired, irritable and hungry.  Build your diet around colorful plant foods and protein and you’ll have fewer food cravings and overall improved health with easier weight loss.

2.  Drink half your body weight of ounces in water (6-8 full glasses).  Water is a natural appetite suppressant, helps flush out your body and is crucial to overall health.

3.  Increase your intake of fiber by eating plant foods in as close to their natural state as possible.  The fiber in these foods slows the breakdown of carbohydrates, helping to sustain the feeling of fullness so that you’re less incline to snack between meals.  A fiber supplement daily (pure psyllium hulls is the most gentle) helps prevent the reabsorption of old processed food (which encourages weight gain) from the intestines.

4.  Start the day with an Interval Training Exercise Regimen.  Only 20 minutes will help rev up your metabolism and keep it elevated for hours after you stop.  Simply increase your intensity in whatever type of exercise you desire to the highest point possible for 30 – 40 seconds on every even minute during exercise time.  Then, until the next even minute comes up, reduce to a slow pace to rest.  Repeat for 20 minutes.

5.  Avoid crash diets.  Extremely low-diet calorie diets (1,000) claories or less) promote fat storage because they slow down your metabolism.  You’ll lose weight quickly at first (as you are losing muscle, which weighs more than fat) but you’ll soon reach a plateau where the weight refuses to come off.  If you throw in the towel and begin eating “normally,” you’ll quickly regain the weigh you lost, since your metabolism staysed suppressed for up to 2 months.
