Getting in shape and cutting fat can be difficult if you're constantly going from one diet fad to another. Here is a list of 10 tips that will help you get started in the area of quick fat loss. You can use these tips in figuring out if any diet or quick fat loss plan is a good program or not. Regardless of what diet plan you are currently on these tips will only help accelerate your fat loss even more.
10 tips to quick fat loss
1. Stop eating just 3 large meals a day. Beginning today, eat 5-6 small meals daily. You'll be eating more often but not necessarily more. Eating 5-6 times a day will keep your metabolism revved up, which causes your body to burn more fat. Make sure that your meals are not loaded with simple carbs instead go with whole grain foods.
2. Drink less soda and more water. You will see immediate results by simply trashing the sugary soft drinks in favor of water.
3. Slow down your eating. Research shows that the longer you take to chew your food the less food you will consume. In addition by slowing down your eating, your stomach will have enough time to send signals to your brain telling it that it's full.
4. Get involved in some sort of low impact activity. Try walking around your neigborhood for 15-20 minutes. Any exercise is better than nothing so try doing a brisk walk around the block.
5.Stop eating out instead cook your meals at home. In the long run you'll save money and control your portion size. I know it's easy to order fast food everyday but trust me it's doing more harm than good.
6. Stay away from sugary foods. That includes candy, soda or anything from a bag or box. If you didn't know it or not sugar will add weight to your frame even if the label reads fat free.
7. Try green tea for fat loss. Research shows that Green tea has antioxidants, which stimulates weight loss.
8. Eat fiber rich foods. Shop for foods that are high in fiber (whole wheat bread, potato, nuts, grain) you'll feel satisfied longer.
9. Don't go heavy on the dressing instead go light. Dressing, sauces and other condiments should be limited because of the carbs, sugar and fats.
10. Shed the pounds and keep it off permanently. A staggering amount of people who have experienced weight loss gain it back plus more. It is important to not let up on your diet. Watch what you eat and don't fall back into your old habits or you can quickly gain the weight back that you worked so hard to lose.

Diet is a Four-Letter Word
Now's the time of year when some people start thinking about diets again. Diet plans and programs are enticing people with spring/summer savings and incentives such as free registration, discounts and weight loss prizes.
Diets are big business in the United States, with an estimated $40 billion annually spent on weight loss programs and products.
The problem with diet is that most people stop dieting when they hit their goal weight. As a result, many people gain all the weight back.
Most people can lose weight if they stick to a diet. But I support a strategy more permanent than a quick fix.
A diet is something you go on and you go off of. You should make positive lifestyle changes that don't end.
