Lose Fat Fast

Exchange your potato chips, corn chips and other fried snacks for pretzels. The fat content in pretzels is far lower than the other snacks. And you still get the crunch.

If you have to have your corn chips, bake a batch yourself. Cut corn tortillas in strips or wedges, season with fresh lime juice, cayenne pepper and a bit of salt. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and spread the tortillas out. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes until crispy. They will keep for a few days in an airtight container or zip lock bag.

Look for low salt or no salt varieties of pretzels. Serve with a bit of low fat cheese or peanut butter for extra satisfaction.

Lose fat fast tip 3

Keep your blood sugar on an even level. When you consume foods high in sugar or white flour your blood sugar spikes which signals your body to produce insulin. The higher the amount of sugar, the more insulin is produced. The more insulin the more of the glucose is converted to fat for storage. Keep you blood sugar level and the insulin spikes won't happen. Do that by combining a food heavy in starch or sugar with a protein or a fat. The protein and fat take longer to digest so they enter the blood stream as glucose more slowly and no spike. It's better to spread your morning toast with cream cheese or peanut butter rather than with jam. Or have the toast with a scrambled egg. Sugar obviously will spike your blood sugar, unless you eat it with fiber, that's what happens when you eat a whole orange. The fiber takes longer to digest so the sugar doesn't enter your blood stream as quickly. Drinking a glass of orange juice means the sugar hits your system almost immediately.

Lose Fat Fast Tip 2

Eat a cup of cream soup before lunch and dinner. It has been shown that having an appetizer, salad, or cup of soup, about 15 minutes before the meal leads to fat loss. Your brain needs about 20 minutes from when you start eating to recognize it's full. Give it a head start by leisurely dining on a salad, by the time you get to the entrée you'll probably feel fuller and eat less. What works even better is a cup of cream soup, or soup with an olive oil or cheese boost, such as minestrone with a tablespoon of olive drizzled on the top and a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. The fat in the cheese, cream, or oil quickly signals the brain it's had enough food. Fat also takes longer to digest so you feel fuller longer.

calcium speeds weight loss

Have a cup of yogurt every day. It's a great source of calcium. Calcium binds to fats so not as many calories are absorbed. Plain yogurt is best. If you don't like the somewhat sour taste, use your own fresh fruit mixture to liven it up. Or use the yogurt in a smoothie. A simple smoothie recipe is half a cup of yogurt, half a banana, half a cup of orange juice.

Flax seeds helps weight loss

Flax seed has lots of antioxidants, and fatty acids. It's been shown the people who consume two servings of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids a day lose weight even if they don't make other changes in their diets. A serving of flaxseed is about a tablespoon. Flax seed isn't a new miracle food, it's been around for thousands of years and has been used to make break. Don't consume the seeds whole, either buy the ground seeds or grind them yourself in a coffee grinder you don't use for anything else. The seed's oils are released until the skin is broken and since the seeds are so small, about the size of sesame seeds, it's difficult to do that with just chewing.
