This article describes the best method of diet to lose weight extremely fast and keep it off, which is one that can boost your metabolism significantly. This allows you to lose more weight for the same amount of effort.
It is scientifically established that weight loss depends on 3 factors. These are calories consumed, calories expended, and metabolism. The best method of diet to lose weight extremely fast and keep it off is one that helps me a turbo boost my metabolism.
This is because, for the same amount of calorie reduction through the lower intake and higher output, a higher metabolism rate can multiply weight loss and fat burn. High metabolism rate also ensures that the weight loss is permanent and does not come back after you go off the aggressive dieting.
Besides the diet, I would also touch on the simple exercises that you can do to increase your metabolism and finally, the one simple trick to turbocharge your metabolism for maximum weight and fat reduction.
1. Cut down sugar which increases insulin resistance
Sugar increases our insulin resistance which in turn reduces our metabolism and causes our body to store up fat.
2. Less starchy carbohydrates
I would review my base metabolism rate (BMR) regularly for the number of calories required daily. You can check it out using my BMR Calculator. Consume whatever is your BMR calorie if you are trying to maintain your weight. If you are trying to lose weight, just consume less than your BMR. I usually go for 20-30% less.
I would limit the number of calories taken daily to a maximum of 50% from starchy carbohydrates. During periods when I want to reduce more, I would limit this to 30%. This is so when after festive seasons when I have been eating more than my usual.
Starchy carbohydrates increase our sugar levels, so reducing starchy carbohydrates reduces our sugar levels
3. Say No to Starchy sauces
Even when we eat low-calorie food, the starchy sauce sometimes can contribute more calories than the actual food itself So, the next time you have a meal, request for sauce on the side and take it only sparingly.
4. Increase the intake of protein
As you reduce starchy carbohydrates, you have to make up for it through more protein like skinless chicken breast or salmon. Protein is known for boosting our metabolism.
5. Take more leafy greens like lettuce
Another source to replace the reduced starchy carbohydrates is leafy greens like lettuce which contains carbohydrates without the sugar.
6. Tomatoes which reverses leptin resistance
Tomatoes are known to reduce inflammation and water retention and reversing leptin resistance. Leptin is the protein that signals to our brain that we are full and stop eating. Therefore, tomatoes are great to prevent us from overeating and lower our calorie intake
7. Metabolism-boosting food and fruits
Peaches are also low in calories and boost metabolism as they contain flavanoids like catechins and they also have high fiber content.
Cherries contain a hormone called melatonin which is what is produced when we are in deep sleep that sets our body fat burning into overdrive mode. They are also low in calories and contain vitamins that boost metabolism. Cherries are believed to be one of the most energy-boosting fruits. This is essential while on a diet to counteract the low energy levels experienced due to the huge reduction in sugar intake.
8. Low GL and high dietary fiber fruits
This is one of the best ways to assuage your hunger pangs as you reduce your intake. One of my favorites is guava. It has one of the lowest GL and the highest dietary fiber amongst all fruits.
You can even make it into a snack by soaking it in apple vinegar. This is so useful when you try to kick your habit of snacking on high sugar high salt snacks.
