Diet Tips for Fast Weight Loss

Here are 101 diet tips for fast fat loss and fast weight loss. It is far more important to lose fat than lose weight. Body weight should consist of less than approximately 20% body fat. During a fast weight loss diet, if it is not done correctly it can reduce muscle mass, especially if you are trying to lose weight fast. Muscle burns fat even during rest periods so it is obviously a good thing to maintain muscle while trying to lose weight. Fast diets and quick weight loss can cause you to lose muscle as well as lose pounds. That is why it is important to supplement with high quality protein to avoid muscle loss during a quick diet / fast diet.

These tips for diet are general recommendations as everyone is different and responds differently to weight loss diets based on age, gender, genetics, health, medications and a multitude of other factors. As always, check with your doctor before making any radical changes to your diet plan and “listen” to what your body tells you. Generally you do not want to lose fat at a rate of much more than 3 pounds a week. Toxins are stored in your body fat and by losing fat fast, you are overloading your body’s detoxification mechanisms – liver, kidneys, skin, bowels, lymph and other systems. The rest of your body suffers through the elevated toxins also – brain, organs, blood so it is best to go at it slow and steady and drink plenty of water. If you feel ill from the toxins from a weight loss diet, slow it down.
Basic Principals for Healthy Weight Loss are:

* Slightly reduced caloric intake
* Exercise to burn calories and increase metabolism
* Healthy foods – plenty of fiber, fruits, vegetables, quality protein
* Eating several smaller meals rather than one or more large meals
* Adequate sleep
* One or more bowel movements a day
* Approximately 1/2 oz water per pound of body weight per day

Some of these diet tips to lose weight fast are probably foreign to you. They buck the traditional bad advice of the mainstream media and medical doctors. Remember – eggs are bad (cholesterol) – wait, now eggs are good again, butter is bad – margarine is good – now butter is good again and margarine is bad (trans-fat). Salt is bad (sodium chloride is bad), natural sea salt is not only good for you, it is absolutely necessary for life! Remember lard (animal fat) is bad, vegetable oils are good – NOPE, another complete reversal – vegetable oil throws off the Omega 3/6/9 balance. If you have been following their advice, your health will be suffering. Notice how heart disease has continued to climb despite all our “food science” ? How about another “brainchild” idea – we have an iodine shortage in our American diet which can cause hypothyroidism among other problems, lets supplement table salt with iodine, then tell everybody to avoid salt – what sense does that make?

As a general rule, the less man messes with a food, the healthier that food is. Somehow “scientists” think they can out do our creator and “improve” upon foods. It is getting scarier with genetically modified foods (Frankenfoods). Microwaves are another “advance” in science – there is controversy over their safety. I personally use them as little as possible, something about vibrating the atomic structure of the food does not appeal to me.

There appears to be many factors that affect weight gain (fat in this case):

* More calories consumed than needed
* Hypothyroidism (slow metabolism) caused by many of the below mentioned “advances”
* Medications altering our bodies
* Frankenfoods – fake fats, fake sugars, GMO – Genetically Modified Organisms
* Chemicals throwing off bodily processes – pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, artificial colorings, antibiotics, steroids in animals, pharmaceuticals in our drinking water, mercury in our fillings in our teeth!

Those are some of the culprits of weight loss difficulty. Now you know what to avoid or minimize your exposure to. Eat organic whenever you can and avoid the hormones and antibiotics. Re-stock your gut with probiotics either via supplements or fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchee, cheeses, yogurt, kefir, raw milk…). Get a water filter for your sink and your shower (or whole house). Basically stay close to nature and your body will function as it is supposed to / divinely designed.

If you apply one of the above weight loss tips, you will make progress towards your goal of fast weight loss / fast fat loss. Apply many of the above diet tips and your fat loss will increase exponentially. Keep in mind, food is life – don’t abuse it.
