It's no secret that you've got to put in a lot of efforts to lose weight. While it may seem like a rather difficult task that takes patience and efforts, the end result is all worth it. We're well aware that trying to lose weight especially in the belly area can prove to be quite a challenge, however, if you opt for the right techniques you can actually lose quite some weight and in some considerable amount of time.
While it isn't always advisable to try and opt for quick weight loss strategies, sometimes you just need to shed those excess kilos for certain situations (bestie's wedding). But that, of course, doesn't mean that you can turn your quick weight loss into a long-term strategy to stay healthy. However, for now, if you're looking out to shed kilos and fast, here are a few techniques that can help you lose almost 5 kilos in one week!
- Intermittent fasting: This is one dieting technique that has taken over the world by storm owing to its healthy and quick weight loss results. With this type of fasting, you'll be required to limit your meal times to a few particular hours and this way you'll end up consuming fewer calories. There are multiple variations of this fasting but the one that's the most common and doable is the 16/8 fasting ratio. So, basically you fast for 16 hours and eat only for eight hours. Try doing this and see how well it works.
- Eat more proteins and fewer carbohydrates: Try to opt for a meal that consists of proteins and fibres and fewer carbohydrates. Proteins can help boost your metabolism and can help decrease your appetite so this will stop you from overeating. Fibres can aid in digestion so they'll make up for not consuming too many carbohydrates. And cutting carbohydrates will ensure that there's no bloating or excessive water weight in your stomach.
- Stay away from junk food: The problem with junk food is that it contains too much fat. So, say you're eating a burger, not only will it contain fried items but will also contain sauces that can all contribute to excessive weight gain. Secondly, junk foods have very low fibre content and saturation levels which means it doesn't make you feel full. This then leads to overeating which leads to unnecessary weight gain. Opt for fruits that are rich in vitamins and fibres like fruits and vegetables.
Well, now that you know these tips, try them for yourself and see how well they work! Stay tuned for more updates.
