How to Diet for Quick Weight Loss and Blow Your Ex’s Mind!
No one likes getting dumped, but if you can make him do a double (or triple) take the next time he sees you, that just does a little something to help heal a broken heart. Learning how to diet for quick weight loss is easier than you think and can help you make sure that you look amazing the next time you run into your ex.
First, it is important to keep in mind that dieting for quick weight loss is not necessarily the same as dieting for long term weight loss. On average, you should only be losing one to two pounds a week if you want the best chances of keeping the weight off.
To diet for quick weight loss, you may have to use some tricks that may not be the best choice for the long term, but will help you shed some pounds quickly.
Here are a few tips to diet for quick weight loss.
Drink a Meal or Two
Diet plans that encourage you to drink a special shake for breakfast or for both breakfast and lunch are quite effective at helping you shed pounds quickly. There are many reasons that this diet is not recommended for long term use, but if you want to drop a few pounds quickly, this is a good option.
Liquids
Liquid diets are dangerous to use for any length of time, but if you are just trying to lose a few pounds for the weekend, this is something you could try.
Salads and Such
Because fresh veggies are naturally low in calories, going on a “salad only” diet or something similar is another good choice of a diet for quick weight loss. When done right, this can be a very healthy way to lose weight quickly. Consider eating a piece of fruit for breakfast and a large salad for lunch. Avoid creamy dressings. Instead, just try some simple oil and vinegar. If you can avoid dressing altogether, that is even better. For dinner have another big salad and a small baked potato.
Because you are trying to shed pounds quickly, you want to keep the salad as simple as possible. Include lettuce, cucumbers, onions, broccoli and a few tomatoes. Of course, adding other fresh green veggies is also fine, but you should avoid cheese, eggs, croutons and other items that are high in calories and fat.
Obviously, before you start any type of diet plan, you should talk to your doctor. This is especially important if you have any type of medical condition or are very overweight.
There are many options to diet for quick weight loss. Choose one and then watch your ex’s face when he sees the trim new you!
How to Avoid Extreme Weight Loss Diets and Steer Clear of Complications
If you have a lot of weight to lose – more than 75 pounds – then you might be tempted by the extreme weight loss diets that promise that you can lose all of your weight in just a few short months. They promise short cuts that will allow you to shed the weight and look great in record time with almost no effort.
While such claims sound wonderful, if it were really that easy then everyone would be supermodel thin. The truth is that losing weight and keeping it off takes a lot of work and a good amount of time. Any extreme weight loss diet that promises short cuts that sound too good to be true should be avoided in favor of those will more moderate – and realistic – weight loss goals.
It is not so much that these diets will not help you lose weight, but a healthy diet is more than just losing weight. After all, you could never eat another bite of food again, and you’d surely lose weight, but you wouldn’t be at all healthy.
An extreme weight loss diet may cause you to lose several pounds a week, but will the weight still be gone a year from now? Five years from now? Studies show that when weight is lost slowly, at a rate of about one to three pounds per week, the dieter has a much better chance of keeping that weight off for the long term.
Another point to consider about an extreme weight loss diet is that key nutrients are often excluded. There are some diets that completely exclude an entire food group. Sure, you will be encouraged to take a supplemental vitamin (which, by the way, is often a good idea whether you are on a diet or not) but that is not as ideal as eating fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein.
When a diet causes you to lose weight, but excludes the nutrients you need for a healthy diet, then that is not the best choice.
Instead of choosing an extreme weight loss diet, concentrate instead on changing the way that you look at food. Change the way you eat day in and day out and before long you will notice that the weight will start to come off.
As mentioned earlier, it will not come off quickly, but it will come off the right way, and you will be much less likely to gain it all back.
Remember, you didn’t gain all of the extra weight overnight, so you won’t be able to lose it overnight. Apply diligence and patience and you will be able to lose weight the healthy way and thus be able to keep it off for the rest of your life.
