10 Tips to Help You Lose Weight

There’s a bubble of myth that has misguided people about weight loss. People are often advised to skip their meals and are recommended to try all sorts of wacky things which lack evidence, for weight loss. Implementing those tips often ends up catching different health issues due to deficiency in the body.

We’ve come up with a few useful tips which are proven and hold evidence for not causing any harm to the normal body and will successfully help you lose weight. 

#1. Drink Enough Water Before Meals

I can’t emphasize enough on drinking plenty of water! It’s successfully proven that drinking water does help you lose weight as it boosts metabolism by 30%, which definitely helps you burn off some calories. 

One study claims that drinking about half a litre of water i.e. 18 ounces before the intake of any meal helps you lose around 44% more weight than the ones who don’t drink. 

#2. Include Eggs in your Breakfast

Eggs contain a lot of nutrients which is beneficial for your health and also helps lose weight. 

Studies say that having eggs instead of food containing grains, reduces the consumption of calories up to the next 36 hours, which helps you lose fat and thus weight. 

If you’re a vegan, it’s fine you can skip that entirely, try substituting it with any other protein-rich food for breakfast. 

#3.  Drink Black Coffee

Coffee contains a plethora of health benefits as it contains antioxidants. 

Studies say it enhances the metabolism in the body by 4-11% which helps in excessive fat burning up to 30%. 

Avoid adding sugar and any other ingredient high in calories to the coffee otherwise, it will negate all the benefits of the coffee. 

#4. Drink Green Tea

Green tea is too loaded with numerous health benefits like coffee. It contains some antioxidants (catechin) which helps in burning fat and also contains caffeine. 

There’s mixed evidence claiming green tea helps in weight loss.

#5.  Do Intermittent Fasting

It’s been a trend that people are considering intermittent fasting for weight loss. 

Evidently, it does work and helps in weight loss. 

It’s a kind of eating pattern which involves restricting the consumption of food for a specific time before consuming it again. 

Due to the non-continuous consumption of food, it helps to restrict the calories, thus contributing to your weight loss. 

Studies show it’s an effective way to lose weight as it abstains from a high calorie based diet which helps you lose muscle fat.  

#6. Try including a Glucomannan Supplement

It’s a fibre that is often associated with losing weight. 

This fibre tends to absorb water while sitting in your gut for some time, which gives you a feeling of a full stomach and hence helps you intake fewer calories. 

Studies suggest that including this excellent fibre as your supplement helps you lose more weight.

#7. Consume Fewer Refined Carbs

These include sugar, grains, pasta, white bread. These have properties that can increase your blood sugar gradually, leading to more cravings, hunger and increased consumption of food every few hours. Also, it’s strongly associated with obesity. 

 If you can’t control carbs, make sure you go with ones that contain natural fibre. 

#8. Avoid Added Sugar

Cut back on added sugar as it has an adverse effect on health if consumed too much. Studies claim that added sugar contains high amounts of fructose which often leads to obesity, heart disease and type 2 diabetes

Incorporate the habit of reading labels before purchasing any food item as it could be high in sugar. Avoiding intake of sugar can literally help you lose weight at a high pace. 

#9. Get on a Low-Carb Diet

If you want to imbibe all the benefits of a carb-restricted diet, then just commit to this diet. 

Studies say it can help you lose more weight than a normal low-fat diet while keeping you fit. 

If you’re really interested in going on a low-carb diet, then you can curate a few weight loss plans or can refer to a dietician. 

#10. Take Food on Smaller Plates

Taking food on smaller plates often helps you eat fewer calories. Although it doesn’t have a huge impact on everyone, it can tremendously help obese people. 

The Takeaway

There are numerous ways to facilitate your goal. Some involve a protein-rich diet or cutting back on sugar. 

Apart from diet, there are other ways which aids weight loss such as getting enough sleep,  including a workout routine, mindful eating, incorporating a healthy lifestyle and much more. 

Before hoping for any diet or routine, introspect your body and then include any diet or workout in your routine. Everyone’s body functions in a different way, it’s important to know your body first!

I hope you’ll consider these tips for your fitness journey!
