How to Lose Weight Fast
Healthy Eating Habits
While fad diets might help you drop pounds in days, creating a healthy eating plan for yourself will help you lose weight and keep it off. If you have undertaken a fad diet, follow it up with an eating plan that highlights the suggestions listed in this section.
Developing Your Meal Plan
Determine your daily calorie needs.
Knowing how the minimum amount of calories your body needs to function correctly will help you define your own personalized healthy eating plan. Your individual calorie needs will vary based on age, gender, height, and activity level. There are online calculators you can use to determine the amount of calories you should be consuming each day.
- You can also figure out how much you should be eating by scheduling a consultation with a dietician or a physician to discuss your weight loss goals, special dietary needs, current eating habits, and potential areas for improvement.
Develop a healthy and personalized meal plan. Choose meals that have a healthy balance of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean proteins. A typical dinner plate should be filled with half vegetables or fruits, half whole grains and lean protein. Planning your meals in advance can help you limit your caloric intake and keep more nutritious foods on your plate. If you need help coming up with a plan, there are many healthy meal plans you can follow or get ideas from that have been deemed healthy by nutritionists.
Keep a food diary. Write down every meal, snack, and drink you consume as well as the approximate quantities for an entire week. Writing down what you consume actually helps us to remain mindful of what we put into our bodies and acts as a motivator to stay healthy. If you can, write down the number of calories that go along with each meal or snack you eat.
- Don’t forget to include coffee mix-ins, condiments, and other additions to your daily diet.
