Omega 3 Fatty Acids
Founds in the likes of oily fish, kidney beans, chickpeas, frozen peas, avocado and walnuts, studies suggest Omega 3 fatty acids are one of the great secrets to permanent fat loss. They help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, inhibit the storage of calories as fat, encourage glucose to be stored in muscle cells, not fat cells and increase thermogenesis the production of heat by cells within the body causing fat to be used as fuel and calories burned.Remove Most Dairy Products
This wasn't huge issue for me. I haven't drunk much milk since junior high, and although I do enjoy cheese on almost everything it was easy enough to give up. Luckily, I could still use butter to cook with, and if you are like the many people that love cream in their cofee this is okay as well as long as it's heavy cream and not milk. Cheese is a big part of my cheat days as I explain below.Drink Mainly Water
A sports or energy drink, fruit smoothie, or lighter beer each serving contains about 100 calories. Yet these beverages don't satisfy you the way 100 calories of food does, so they're a waste. Other liquids may be high in sodium and carbohydrates, which trick your body into retaining water, puffing you out.Water, on the other hand, has zero calories and carbs and little to no sodium, making it the perfect slim-down drink. And strangely, it actually helps flush out excess water weight as well as jump-starts your metabolism. If it's just too boring, add lemon wedges or mint leaves.
Cut Junk Food From Your Diet
Cut it out completely. Someone following a standard diet can usually afford to fall off the junk food wagon once or twice without suffering major repercussions. For more extreme, short-term weight loss goals (like this one), however, junk food must be completely avoidedI Gave MySelf One Cheat Day
I say one cheat day because I wanted to illustrate the fact that this diet can beused for people wanting to know how to lose weight in 2 weeks. If you are only using this as a fast way to lose weight, then you'll only want to indulge in one cheat day during your two-week period. However, I now give myself every saturday as a cheat day.No White Carbohydrates
In fact, anything that is white or can be white. So no pasta, no rice, no bread, no oatmeal, no potatoes, etc. However, I still ate a ton of carbohydrates. I just ate better high-fiber carbs such as black beans, kidney beans, and lentils. The latter I didn't really enjoy, so most of my meals were made up of beans. The picture to the left is an example of what I would eat for supper. This night I had a spread of black beans, cooked frozen veggies, and sliced ham. I basically substituted the ham for any other meat chicken, beef, or pork mostly and alternated between black and kidney beans. Note if you find your food getting blans, try using mustard and pepper. For lunch, I'll often take 1/2-1 can of tuna, 1-2 cups of frozen veggies, and a big scoop of bean, cook in the microwave, add a couple squeezes of mustard and pepper and shake.Eat Salmon for Lunch
It's packed with nutrients that build muscle tone and give your skin a healthy glow. Some nutritionist claim that consuming a portion (doesn't matter how it's cooked) may immediately make your face look a bit more contoured.See also information about 7 Easy Ways Lose Weight In Your Thighs Fast
