When it comes to weight loss, the word ‘fast’ normally isn’t in the equation. However, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t things you can’t do to speed up your body’s fat burning process. There are actually quite a few options that you have in regard to your diet alone that will thrust your metabolism into overdrive and help you create the body that you’ve always dreamed of.

What You Need To Do

If you want to lose weight, there are some simple tricks you can use that will not only increase your metabolism but also decrease your hunger. When you do this, you will find that the fat will just melt off your body so here are a few ways to make that kind of fast weight loss happen:

• Do drink lots of water. The more hydrated you are, the lower your chance of confusing thirst signals for hunger.
   
• Do eat your veggies. Adding vegetables to your dishes increases their volume without increasing their calories.
   
• Do use small plates. Smaller plates trick your mind into thinking you have a larger meal before you than you actually have and you will feel like you’ve eaten more.
   
• Do practice mindful eating. Eat slowly, putting your utensils (or food) down for at least 30 seconds after each bite. Pay full attention to what you’re eating and your tummy will let you know when you’ve had enough.
   
• Do consider weight loss supplements. There are some very good products on the market that can help you lose weight quickly and safely; just make sure you choose quality over price so you aren’t tricked into lower strengths or inferior products that won’t have any effect at all.
  
   

What You Need to Not Do

Not only is it important to know what to do, it’s equally as important to know what not to do. After all, if your dietary behaviors are working against you instead of for you, you’re making it that much harder on yourself to reach your weight loss goals. With that in mind, here are five additional diet tips to follow for super-fast weight loss:
 

• Don’t eat a lot of processed foods. The more you fill your diet with foods that aren’t in their whole and natural state, the harder time you’re going to have losing weight quickly.
   
• Don’t use a lot of salt. Not only does a high sodium diet put you at risk of high blood pressure, but it also makes you bloat and increases your desire to eat – two things no dieter wants.
   
• Don’t eat when you’re not physically hungry. If you’re an emotional eater, learn how to tell when you are physically hunger versus when it is your feelings that are craving food. Before reaching for something to eat, stop and ask yourself if you’re actually physically hungry. (You will be surprised by how many times the answer is no.) If not, then figure out what you need and how to get it.
   
• Don’t go grocery shopping when you’re hungry. Going to the supermarket when you’re starving makes it super easy to put food in your cart that you probably shouldn’t eat and will probably regret buying.
   
• Don’t cook different meals for you and your family. You should attend to your family’s health the same way you attend to your own, so if you don’t think you should eat it, then you shouldn’t feed it to them either (this will save you tons of time as well as keep you from being tempted to eat their not-so-healthy food).
