How to Lose Weight Quickly: Best Tips and Tricks

Reduce intake of calories

The best way to lose weight is to burn more calories than consumed. They call it the CICO method (calories in, calories out). Focus more on low-calorie diet, i.e. reduce your intake to between 1,200 and 1,500 calories per day. Limit the amount of fat that is eaten to between 35 and 60 grams per day. Furthermore, try to maintain your carbohydrates’ intake to about 170 to 240 grams and proteins’ intake to about 55 and 95 grams per day.

Stay hydrated

It is recommended to drink more water for the purpose of losing weight. Water removes harmful toxins, carries nutrients to cells, and provides a moist environment that is required by the by tissues. Try to intake 64 ounces of water every day. Avoid soft drinks, sodas, energy drinks and flavored juices etc.

Reduce intake of carbohydrates

Body accumulates fats after consuming carbohydrates. Intake of carbohydrate-rich meal i.e. rich, bread, French Fries etc. releases insulin in your body to help the influx of all the glucose in your blood. Insulin also creates more fat cells for storing everything that can’t be burnt in your body. As a result, you gain weight. To lose it, you need to reduce carbs. Try to choose lean meats, fish and vegetarian sources of protein, low-fat dairy products, and eat plenty of leafy green and non-starchy vegetables.

Reduce fat from diet

Try not to eat fat, if you don’t want to get fat. Look for the low-fat food like reduced-fat snacks, dairy and packaged meals. Try not to swap fat for the empty calories of sugar and refined carbohydrates. Instead of eating whole fat food, consume low- or no-fat versions of them that are packed with sugar to make up for the loss of taste.

Besides diet, exercise is also necessary to lose weight, since some diets don’t work at all and none of them work for everyone – our bodies respond differently to different food.

Walking

You can burn 150 calories with just 30-minutes’ walk. It’s an easy and low-intensity weight-loss exercise. Start by walking for a short time and then gradually increase time.

Squats

Doing squats correctly engages your entire lower body and your core. They are one of the best exercises to burn fat from the thighs and glutes and get your lower body in shape in no time. You can alter the speed, maximize the reps and try different types of squats, once you get practiced to the regular type.
