Losing weight can be nerve-wracking, especially if you are looking for fast ways to shed the extra fat. It becomes more challenging if you don’t know what will work for your body type. Taking weight loss pills is a common weight loss method that can work for the majority of people. However, before you go that step, you can try any of the 4 tips below that could work for you too!

Incorporate protein in your breakfast

Protein-rich meals are known to suppress appetite because they can make you full for a long time. The hunger hormone ghrelin decreases when you take proteins while the peptide YY hormone for satiety is increased.

Taking a protein-based diet in the morning will make you full all day, in that you might not take lunch or when you do, you will take very small amounts of it.

You can look for foods that are rich in protein such as chia seeds, oats, eggs, nuts, and seed butter.

Try intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting is a regulated type of fasting where you eat during a certain window and avoid eating anything during the other window. Intermittent fasting has been proven to work starting with 16 hours of no food. During this period, the body adjusts and starts using the stored fats for energy.

It is however advised not to indulge in overeating when you break your fast. In some cases, scientists recommend particular types of foods to eat such as proteins and vegetables so that the full benefits of fasting can be attained.

In the long run, you will realize that you will consume fewer calories, which translates to weight loss.

Eat more fiber

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is not easily digested in the small intestine. Its main purpose is to make the digestive tract process smooth by regulating the flow of food

When you incorporate fiber into your diet, you will feel full, and will not be tempted to eat. As such, you will find that in the long run, you will consume fewer calories and shed some weight.

Foods that are rich in fiber include oats, grains, fruits, vegetables, and peas.

Cut back sugar

Sugar, although good in calories, is considered the worst enemy in the weight loss process.  It is one of the foods that significantly contribute to lifestyle diseases such as heart disease and obesity.

Sugar has the ability to digest quickly and convert into glucose. If the body does not need a lot of glucose, it will be stored as fat which will lead to weight gain.

Rather than using refined sugar, you should seek to find other natural healthy alternatives such as stevia and honey. However, when used in large quantities, these can also be dangerous. It is therefore good to limit their use.

Bottom line

Losing weight doesn’t have to be a stressful event, especially with a  variety of scientific weight loss methods. While practicing them at once could prove challenging, integrating them into your lifestyle bit by bit could do magic. All you need is a little bit of commitment and a first step. Choose the one which is easy for you and gradually add the others to your list.
