Proven Tips for Fast Weight Loss

Are you living a stressed out, face-paced life finding yourself constantly reaching for quick snacks till you finally have the time to sit down for an actual meal? As a Chiropractor, I know many patients are always on the go, stressed out, and eating unhealthy junk-food snacks. Most tips for fast weight loss are full of things like don’t eat this or don’t it that. However, recent studies have shown that when we eat the right fat before meals we can trick the body into feeling more full. This is achieved by activating proper chemical pathways that send messages to your brain about being full.

Foods that contain healthy fat like walnuts or almonds are the key foods that allow this process to take place. When we consume these healthy fats (60-70 calories of them) twenty minutes before a meal they will stimulate your brain and also slow your stomach from emptying to keep you feeling full, longer. You will almost certainly eat less when you eat to satisfy your need for energy, not to satisfy your hunger.

Now if you’re not a fan of nuts or don’t want to take the time to eat something before a meal, another fast weight loss tip is to add more fiber to your diet. Eating fiber prevents you from overeating because it makes you feel full. Fiber also slows down the digestion of foods you eat keeping your blood sugar/energy levels in check preventing you from getting hungry. Good sources of fiber are vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, and some cereals. The amount of fiber in a food product is listed in the nutritional facts found on most food labels. You should try to eat 20-25 grams of fiber each day spread out evenly in all of your meals. When finished eating a meal you should always feel better and not stuffed, bloated or tired. Choosing to eat healthy fat or more fiber are proven tips for fast weight loss!
