Trying to lose weight quickly is going to be problem. Among other things, quick weight loss slows metabolism. This is obviously not productive if your goal is weight loss. So, what is that trick to weight loss? Lifestyle. If you just eat 500 fewer calories everyday you will lose 1 pound of scale weight every week. You can do this just be reducing the consumption of fats. If you use spreads like butter, peanut butter and salad dressings – simply eliminating 5 tablespoons of fat consumption from your diet every day will give you a one pound weight loss every single week.
1. Consider the difference in fat intake if you made your omelet using whole eggs instead of egg substitute. Egg yolks are 75-95% pure fat while egg substitute is 0% fat. Making this one simple shift will reduce your total calorie intake dramatically.
2. If you’re over fat, you became that way because of your habits, tiny daily actions. It was your lifestyle that caused it to happen. The obvious solution then is to change your lifestyle. This requires a life change. Part of that life change is the foods you currently choose to eat.
3. It is not that hard to learn to enjoy new types of food. Just work at making some simple shifts to weight loss friendly foods, foods that will be kinder to your body transformation objectives. For example, if you want to change the appearance and consistency of skim milk, you can use condensed skim milk to flavor it. This contributes tiny amount of calories plus protein and carbohydrate, but zero extra fat calories.
3. To get rid of excess body fat – permanently – you’ll have to change how you think about food. If you think that you need to eat certain foods, the foods that got you to be overweight, for example, that is going to be a problem. Make the commitment to changing those small habits that overtime will add up to a big change in your life. Here is a simple one: stop using butter to flavor your bread. All butters. Just stop cold turkey. This will save you 100 calories every time you say no.
4. Now let’s take a look at cheese and nuts. These are very popular and recommended by some health advocates as health food. Don’t fall for the bait. If you’re starving to death – cheese is a good choice. It will keep you from starving to death. On the other hand, if you want to rid your body of excess body fat – cheese is a poor choice. It is easily stored as fat and has very high calorie content.
5. Most cheeses get more than 70% of their total calories from fat and they are far from “health” foods. They can be eaten in moderation as part of a healthy diet; but the very high saturated fat content makes cheese a poor choice for people concerned about their waistline.
6. You’ll need to take portions sizes into consideration too. Realize that the amount of fat you eat every day is cumulative. In other words, if you’re eating small portions of foods containing fat throughout the day, although the fat count could be low, your total fat consumed will be added to your daily total intake total. So a great way to lose body fat is to find the low or non-fat varieties of food to replaces the high fat food.
