17 Weight Loss Tips That Work!
*1. Start the day with an energising breakfast.
I know you have probably heard this before, but breakfast is the most important meal of the day and you should never skip it.
Some people skip breakfast in the belief that it will help them lose weight, but in practice you are more likely to gain weight. Studies have shown that skipping breakfast is strongly linked to the development of obesity, and has proven that thinner people actually include breakfast in their daily food consumption.
Skipping breakfast is like running a car on empty. Your body needs fuel to function, and that fuel is food. Without it you will experience low energy levels, may feel nauseous, and will inevitably binge eat later on in the day. To avoid these symptoms the best advice is to eat breakfast when you awake in the morning.
A protein breakfast is the best choice and gives better results for fast weight loss. Although a high fiber breakfast will keep you feeling fuller for longer.
*2. Consume Fatty fish 2 to 3 times a week. Include Salmon, Mackerel, Tuna or Halibut. These fish provide good amounts of essential fats for a healthy metabolism.
*3. Breads: Breads are excellent source of carbohydrate, but if you choose the wrong type you can severely affect your weight loss efforts.
When consuming bread you should keep in mind that processed white bread and wholemeal bread can actually make you gain weight, and in particular increase fat around the belly. This happens because these bread rapidly raises your blood sugar levels leaving you fat and tired. They are ranked high on the glycemic index and will promote the oversecretion of insulin. In a nutshell, excess insulin = excess fat.
However, there is one type of bread you can eat; Rye bread. It has a stronger effect on the appetite than white and whole-wheat varieties. In one study those who ate Rye bread lost five pounds in one month without changing their usual diet. Rye bread also has a lower glycemic load and will release sugars into your system a lot slower than white and wholemeal breads, thus balancing out your blood sugars and aiding weight loss.
So to have your bread and eat it, choose Rye.
*4. Lemon tea. When you get up in the morning instead of grabbing a cup of coffee have a glass of hot water with the juice of ½ a lemon. It's great to keep your blood sugar balanced and helps towards boosting your metabolism.
*5. Grapefruit. A great fruit to have in the morning is Grapefruit. A grapefruit halved, with a sprinkling of cinnamon or a little artificial sweetener will help curb your appetite.
*6. Berries. Blueberries, cherries, raspberries and strawberries are all super speedy fruits. They have a high fibre content and are an excellent source of potassium, and contain few calories. Enjoy them with tub of very low fat natural yoghurt topped with a tablespoon of chopped natural nuts.
*7. Apples are full of pectin and will leave you feeling fuller longer. It is also a handy snack plus they are low in calories.
*8. Iced Water. Drink a glass of iced cold water before meals. It not only burns more calories and speeds up your metabolism but it also acts as a natural appetite suppressant.
The body requires extra energy to warm up your body to normal body temperatures after you have drunk a glass of cold water; and this expenditure of energy burns extra calories. So, drink an 8oz glass of iced cold water before each meal, and burn calories effortlessly.
*9. Soup. If you do not want something cold try having a bowl of soup before meals. In one study it was found that people who consumed a bowl of soup before lunch and dinner lost more weight than dieters who didn't. See my thermogenic soup recipe below. You can drink this soup anytime as it contains negative calories. Make a batch on Sunday, it will serve for 3 to 4 days and then make another batch on Wednesday.
*10. Use Spices to stimulate your metabolism
It has been proven that spices like cayenne pepper; salsa, hot peppers and mustard stimulate the body's metabolic rate as well as effectively cleaning out the arteries.
Sprinkle cayenne pepper on your scrambled eggs; add salsa to salads or pasta. These are all natural thermogenic foods, experiment with the different flavours! Note: The hotter the spice the greater the metabolic boost but be sensible and use these hot extras according to your taste buds!
*11. Green Tea is another metabolic booster, which also lessens your craving for sweet things. It also has health benefits contributing to the prevention of cancer and the control of diabetes.
Green Tea's calorie-burning properties lies in the ability of EGCG to increase thermogenesis, or heat production. The EGCG in Green Tea increases the amount of calories burned throughout the day for all activities, from digesting food to climbing stairs to typing. Other food components, like caffeine or capsaicin in hot peppers) can also boost calorie burning, but EGCG has a stronger effect.
Green Tea is even more helpful to fast weight loss because it is concentrated.
*12. Tasty Food. Make your food tasty and palatable by using spices like thyme, basil, coriander, parsley, ginger, onions and garlic.
*13. Beans: Use all the pulses, kidney beans, green beans, butter beans, chickpeas or split peas. They are an excellent source of protein and can lower cholesterol.
*14. Butter & Margerine. Do not use butter or margerine as a spread. Alternative choices to moisten bread are: 1 level tsp of reduced calorie salad cream, 1 tsp tomato ketchup or 1tsp reduced calorie mayonnaise. For a sweet taste try 1 tbsp marmalade or jam.
*15. Alcohol. Avoid alcohol for the first 4 weeks of any weight loss plan, thereafter drink in moderation i.e. Twice a week is sufficient. Alcohol slows down your metabolism and therefore your weight loss will also be slower.
Choose a measure of spirits (gin, rum, vodka or whiskey) topped with copious amounts of diet soda instead of wine, beer, sparkling wines or champagne as these have greater amounts of sugar.
*16. Appetite Suppressants. Use natural appetite suppressants such as Acai Berry or Green Tea Extract to help take the edge of your appetite. These supplements are a great if you do not have great will-power!

5 Weight Loss Myths That Keep You Fat!
Here are 5 Weight Loss Myths, which you probably thought were helping towards you losing weight. Let me enlighten you as I reveal the truth.
1. 'Low-carb foods are the only way to lose weight' Absolute rubbish. Don't believe this, you may lose a few pounds here and there but you will quickly gain it back and possibly more.
Low-carb diets don't work because initially all you lose is water and not fat. It also does not provide you with the correct type of carbs you need, and as a result your body will think it is starving; slowing down your metabolism so that you burn fewer calories and less fat. You will also get tired and your body will begin to burn its own muscle tissue for energy. Doesn't sound very good does it?
Inevitably you reach a plateau and do not lose any more weight. This is discouraging in itself and eventually you will give up the diet and start to crave foods that will put back on the weight that you lost.
2. 'Weight Loss is all about will power. No hunger, no weight loss'
Once again this is absolute rubbish. Why should be endure hardship in order to lose weight. This kind of attitude towards weight loss is old fashioned. Back in the old days you had to count calories or fat grams or carbs before you could eat anything. What a waste of time.
But don't worry you won't need willpower to lose weight today. You won't need it because you'll never feel hungry or deprived on the MetaBooster Fat Burning Diet.
3. 'All calories are created equal'
They are definitely not. Some calories help you lose weight, whilst some pack on the pounds!
The correct balance of fat, protein and carbohydrates can feed your body and determine how much fat you burn or store, and how much energy you have. Too few carbs and you actually slow down your energy and fat burning properties.
The good news is that a diet of low-GI foods, lean proteins and monounsaturated fat can
Speed up weight loss
Leave you feeling satisfied for longer
Speed up your metabolism so that you burn more fat and calories and
Stop your blood sugar swinging like a pendulum.
4. 'Real Carbs Will Make You Fat'
No, real carbs will make you THIN! If you consume low GI carbs you will experience the aforementioned benefits and lose weight consistently because they keep your mood and blood sugar levels balanced, therefore you will not give in to temptation and gorge on the wrong type of carbs.
5. 'Foods with more fat are more filling'
Wrong. Studies have shown that high-fat foods are actually less filling. After a high-fat meal or snack, people tend to eat again sooner, some times within an hour of eating a high-fat meal.
No more diet food disappointment! From now on, enjoy real food and real weight loss!
NO MORE seeking expensive, low-carb diet food that doesn't satisfy you!
NO MORE counting carbs or calories or fat grams!
NO MORE blood sugar pendulum and afternoon slump!
NO MORE cravings or feeling deprived!
Instead enjoy the MetaBooster Fat Burning Diet where you will enjoy great tasting protein, real carbs and good fats.
