Lose Weight Quickly With a Healthier Diet

To lose weight, eating a healthy diet should be your first priority.  Certainly, exercise is important, but diet is number one when it comes to prolonged weight management.  It is hoped that this article shows you some simple but effective ways for you to eat a daily healthy diet.

1.  Ensure you eat at least some healthy fats in most of your meals.  Eating enough healthy fats is very important for maintaining proper fat burning and muscle building hormone levels in your body.  The correct amount of healthy fats in your diet also helps in keeping a controlled appetite.

The best sources of dietary fats are raw nuts, seeds, egg yolks (from organic free range eggs), avocados, extra virgin olive oil (highest antioxidant content of olive oils), coconut oil (a great source of healthy saturated fats in the form of medium chain triglycerides), and grass-fed meats (a great source of the healthy fat, conjugated linoleic acid, which also helps burn body fat and build muscle).

Take this tip -- eat a handful of raw nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds are great choices) 3 times a day approx 30 minutes prior to meals.  This can help to reduce your appetite and give your body some protein, fibre, and healthy fats, therefore you eat less calories overall at your meals and get more nutrition also due to the high nutrient density of most nuts.

2.  Try to consume a high quality protein source with each meal and snack that you eat.  Quality proteins from grass-fed meats, grass-fed raw dairy, and even from plant sources such as nuts and beans provide good appetite suppression, you can therefore more easily control your calorie intake.

Getting ample quality proteins additionally helps you build lean muscle (if you're working out hard regularly) so that your metabolism can run at a higher rate from increased lean muscle on your body.

Eating sufficient protein at most of your meals also helps your body in controlling blood sugar and insulin levels by helping to slow the breakdown of ingested carbohydrates.

3. Although I do not fully agree with extremely low-carb diets, I certainly believe that one of the main reasons that so many people struggle to lose weight for most of their lives is due to eating excessive processed carbohydrates such as refined grain-based starches and refined sugars on a daily basis.

The natural sugars in whole fruits and berries are fine because the fibre in fruits helps to slow the blood sugar response in your body.   Avoid fruit juices, which are mostly sugar and have the fibre removed in processing the juice.

In my experience, when people start to minimize their grain consumption (from cereals, bagels, breads, pasta, etc), they start to lose body fat much easier.  What I usually recommend is for people to minimize eating grains and focus their carbohydrate intake on fruits and vegetables alone.  This simple step helps people to start managing their weight more easily.

Try to implement these 3 tips for eating a smarter, healthier diet and you'll start to see a leaner body and more energy in no time.
