The Eight Secrets To Putting Your Diet Work For You

1. Low carb does work. The basis of most successful modern diet plans is to significantly lower your carbohydrate intake, especially refined and high glycemic carbohydrates, thus stimulating your body to burn fat reserves for energy. It takes an average of about three days of an almost complete carbohydrate-free diet to begin burning your fat reserves as energy. You maintain this low-carb diet for a couple of weeks for maximum weight loss. After a couple of weeks, "good carbs" are added to the diet in the form of green vegetables to continue weight loss. As your ideal weight is reached, you may introduce non refined carbohydrates back into your diet to your own individual weight control.

2. Control your calorie intake. Everyone has an ideal daily calorie intake that matches the fuel your body needs for its activities and regeneration at a particular weight. Consume more calories than you burn and you gain weight (or lose less weight more slowly). Burn more calories than you consume and you lose weight. Combine a low-calorie diet along with low-carb diet and you get enhanced weight loss. Don't forget that exercise burns calories for fuel too.

3. Choose your proteins well. When you eliminate carbs from your diet, you end up eating more proteins. Proteins that are higher in fat are also higher in calories because fat grams are denser. Choose chicken, turkey and lean meats as your animal-based proteins. Cold water fish is the best source of fish protein because you get the nutritional benefit of rich Omega-3 fatty acids.

4. Keep fats under control and be selective. Olive oil and macadamia nut oil are rich in Omega-9 fatty acids. Olive oil is also rich in other substances that nutritionally support the body that no other oil contains. Watch out for poor fat choices in manufactured dressings.

5. Good carbs help. Mineral- and vitamin-rich green leafy vegetables provide many of the nutrients we need daily. They also spice up a meal of proteins.

6. Don't forget fiber. Fiber is primarily a good carbohydrate that aids digestive system operation. Fiber also does not digest into the blood system and thus does not interfere with weight loss.

7. Balance your nutrition with good vitamins. An overall daily supplement containing Vitamins B, C and E and minerals of copper, zinc and calcium will keep your body running efficiently to burn the fat. Chromium Picolinate is a popular supplement that enhances metabolism of sugar, fats and proteins.

8. Drink a lot of water. One great and proven way to lose weight quickly and effortless is to drink more water --- over 96 ounces per day! Sound boring? What I suggest is adding the juice of half a lemon and if you want 1/2 cup of unsweetened cranberry juice to 32 ounces of water with a sprinkle of Steviva Brand Stevia Powder. Aside from being less than 2 carbs, you will get the health benefits that the stevia provides along with the vitamin C and electrolytes that lemon have. You can substitute limes for lemons if you get bored. Click here to order stevia powder.
