6. Go easy on the Bread if you want to lose weight faster:
It’s best to avoid bread altogether, but if you necessarily must have some, opt for whole grain bread, rather than processed white bread. It has fiber and it has way less calories. And it tastes better too! It might take some time to start eating less bread, but once you do, you’ll see that this is probably one of the most effective and fastest ways to lose weight.

7. Ditch the salad dressing and other salad toppings:
Salads with loads of leafy greens are marvelously nutritious and low-cal, unless you cover them in salad dressing and croutons. One of the fastest ways to lose weight is to have as much salad as you can, only substitute the dressing with some vinegar, olive oil or lemon juice. Your body will be spending more energy on digesting these salads than it will be getting out of them, so you’ll be shedding pounds like never before if you start eating a couple of salads without traditional dressings every day.

8. Do NOT Starve Yourself If You Want to Shed Those Pounds and Keep Them Off:
This is a common mistake many of us do, when trying to find a way to lose weight. I’ve been there and from my personal experience I can say that skipping meals in order to lose weight is not working. First of all, it’s very hard and distracting, as you can not stop thinking about food, and second of all, the few pounds I managed to lose came back in abundance the week I started eating normally. The thing is, starving ourselves puts our bodies in a “starvation mode” which basically means the body is trying to reserve the very same fat that we are trying to burn off. And don’t forget what a toll it takes on your overall health and your metabolism… Eek!

9. Eat 5 meals a day, Rather than 3 big ones:
The more often you eat, the less hungry you feel before each meal, which inevitably leads you to consuming less when you eat more often. Just make sure the 2 snacks you have in-between the meals are actually healthy. Boiled eggs, or a piece of chicken breast and a salad will be the perfect choice. If you decide to have a yogurt or a fruit, have it after your salad or protein snack.

10. Don't Skip Breakfast if you Want to Lose Weight:
This is the meal that feeds your body through its most busy… and studies have shown that eating a healthful breakfast helps you lose weight faster. Make sure your breakfast contains plenty of complex carbs (a hearty bowl of oatmeal is the perfect example). If still hungry, you might add some protein (eggs) and vegetables.

Until Next time!
Keep healthy, keep safe and keep going!

Have an awesome day!
