Attempting fast weight loss is always a problem. It slows metabolism, along with a host of other problems. The real key to lose body fat successfully, that is, to lose weight and keep it off, you have to change what you like to eat. This is an essential part of the commitment to changing your lifestyle. If you don't do it, you will never get rid of your extra fat. Consider this, if you simply ate 500 fewer fat calories per day (that's five tablespoons of butter or margarine), you could probably lose one pound per week of fat (and probably more than one pound per week of total weight).
1. Just look at the difference in fat if you made an omelet using whole eggs (with the yolk) instead of egg whites. Egg yolks are nearly 100% pure fat while egg white is essentially zero fat. Make this simple change and you will reduce your calorie intake significantly.
2. If you're over fat, you became that way because of your habits, tiny daily actions. It was your lifestyle that caused it to happen. The obvious solution then is to change your lifestyle. This requires a life change. Part of that life change is the foods you currently choose to eat.
3. It is not that hard to learn to enjoy new types of food. Just realize that it's part of the process of body transformation. It's a necessary process. Also realize this, if you do make the change, your transformation will become inevitable. If you don't make the change - nothing changes. Easy choice, right?
3. So consider this simple fact. It take a mere 5 tablespoons of butter, oil, or other fat product to contribute an additional 1 pound of fat onto your body every single week. So, it stand to reason that if you simply eliminate that amount of fat from your daily intake you will lose a pound of fat EVERY SINGLE WEEK. This is a very simple change. Imagine if you combine this with a personal training program, signed up for a fitness boot camp or just increased your activity level; your results would be even faster.
4. Now let's take a look at cheese and nuts. These are very popular and recommended by some health advocates as health food. Don't fall for the bait. If you're starving to death - cheese is a good choice. It will keep you from starving to death. On the other hand, if you want to rid your body of excess body fat - cheese is a poor choice. It is easily stored as fat and has very high calorie content.
5. Most cheeses get more than 70% of their total calories from fat and they are far from "health" foods. They can be eaten in moderation as part of a healthy diet; but the very high saturated fat content makes cheese a poor choice for people concerned about their waistline.
6. Portion size should also be a consideration. The amount of fat you eat every day is cumulative. So, if you eat small portions of foods containing fat all day, although the fat count could be low, the total fat consumed adds to your daily total calorie consumption total.
