How To Lose Weight Fast
If you don't have iron willpower, then hunger will cause you to give up on
these plans quickly.
When you do that, your hunger levels go down and you end up eating much
fewer calories (1).
Now instead of burning carbs for energy, your body starts feeding off of stored
fat.
Another benefit of cutting carbs is that it lowers insulin levels, causing your
kidneys to shed excess sodium and water out of your body. This reduces
bloat and unnecessary water weight (2, 3).
The low-carb group is eating until fullness, while the low-fat group is calorie-
restricted and hungry.
Cut the carbs and you will start to eat fewer calories automatically and without
hunger (5).
SUMMARYRemoving sugars and starches (carbs) from your diet will reduce
your appetite, lower your insulin levels and make you lose weight without
hunger.
Constructing your meals in this way will automatically bring your carb intake
into the recommended range of 20–50 grams per day.
Protein Sources
Meat: Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, etc.
Fish and Seafood: Salmon, trout, shrimp, etc.
Eggs: Whole eggs with the yolk are best.
This has been shown to boost metabolism by 80 to 100 calories per day
(6, 7, 8).
High-protein diets can also reduce cravings and obsessive thoughts about
food by 60%, reduce the desire for late-night snacking by half, and make you
so full that you automatically eat 441 fewer calories per day — just
by adding protein to your diet (9, 10).

meal.
Don’t be afraid of eating fat, as trying to do both low-carb AND low-fat at the
same time is a recipe for failure. It will make you feel miserable and abandon
the plan.

plan and this list of 101 healthy low-carb recipes.
SUMMARYAssemble each meal out of a protein source, a fat source and low-
carb vegetables. This will put you in the 20–50 gram carb range and
significantly lower your hunger levels.
The best option is to go to the gym 3–4 times a week. Do a warm-up and lift
some weights.
By lifting weights, you will burn lots of calories and prevent your metabolism
from slowing down, which is a common side effect of losing weight (11, 12).
Studies on low-carb diets show that you can even gain a bit of muscle while
losing significant amounts of body fat (13).
If lifting weights is not an option for you, then doing some cardio workouts like
walking, jogging, running, cycling or swimming will suffice.
