4 Tips to Get Thin Fast

To Get Thin, Follow These Simple Tips to Lose Weight Fast

1. Eat More Meals Throughout the Day
If you are dieter looking for easy ways to lose weight, one thing is for sure-do not skip meals, especially breakfast. The idea of skipping meals so you can eat fewer calories is a myth and won't work because this can cause you to go long periods without eating. Once the body believes that it is not getting enough food, it will be difficult to lose weight because your body is trying to maintain Homeostasis, meaning metabolic equilibrium. Therefore, if you want to lose weight fast, then you need to eat more meals, not "more food", throughout the day.

Try eating between 5-6 smaller meals a day to help keep your metabolism up and burn more calories (the process of breaking down foods burns calories!). While eating 5-6 smaller meals may sound simple, the key is to eat the "right" kinds of foods that are low in calories. Once you know how much daily calories you need to eat in order to lose weight, make sure your 5 or 6 meals (including beverages) doesn't go over this amount. If you feel calorie counting is too much of a chore, then try tracking what you eat with the assistance of an online food diary. Dieters who have used food diaries have been extremely successful with their weight loss goals. Not to mention, a food diary helps dieters to be in more control of their weight. If you want to get thin fast, then adopt the secrets of thin people and learn how to control your weight.

2. Incorporate a Workout Plan
You may not be a fan of working out, but the fact of the matter is that in order to drop some weight, you have to eat fewer calories and workout more to burn those extra calories. An exercise plan doesn't have to be difficult and you don't necessarily have to join a gym to get the body you want. A simple activity such as walking is great for a cardiovascular workout plan and is also an easy way to lose weight fast. The key is to be consistent. Working out only a couple of times a month won't help because you have to burn 3500 calories in order to lose 1 lb of fat. Look at it this way, if you spread 3500 calories over 7 days, try to eat 250 calories less per day and burn 250 calories per day to lose 1 lb of fat in a week. Of course the more calories you burn, the more weight you will lose too.

3. Drink More Water
A simple trick to lose weight fast is to drink more water. How easy is that! One way to do this is to substitute fruit juices and soda with water and a wedge of lemon. As you already know, fruit juices and sodas are loaded with sugar and calories that are counterproductive to anyone’s weight loss goals. Having a sugary beverage here and there is fine, but be sure to keep track of the drinks and foods  you eat so you don't go over your caloric intake for the day. If you are having trouble keeping track of what you eat and drink, then take my suggestion and use a food diary. Another trick is to drink a glass of water before every meal. This will help you to feel full and prevent you from overeating. If you cannot lose weight due to overeating, then drinking a full glass of water before each meal is an easy weight loss trick that should help you get results.

4. Brush Your Teeth after Every Snack and Meal
This weight loss trick may sound silly, but it works to help you to get thin fast. When I had braces a few years ago, I went from 130lbs to 120lbs in 6 months. Do you know why? Well for one I had clear braces that easily stained and secondly, I hated getting food in between my braces which meant I always had to brush my teeth. Therefore, if I wanted to snack on chips or a candy bar before a meal, I would ask myself "Do I really want to stain my braces and/or brush my teeth?" The answer was usually no. Try it for yourself! If you brush your teeth and rinse with mouthwash after every meal, you will think twice about snacking on the wrong kinds of foods that do nothing for your but add extra calories.

Good Luck!
