I Married A Fat Bitch

Losing weight is no longer a mystery to most people. You have to cut back on how much you eat and increase movement so you burn off more calories than you consume. Sounds really simple, but taking the weight off without giving up healthy meals can be a slow process. The question now is how to lose pounds quickly without starving yourself.

The smart answer is to focus on what you eat and when you take it in, rather than trying not to eat at all. Your body needs food for energy to sustain your organs and to get through your workouts and daily activity. It is only when you feed it more than it needs for that energy that you start to store it as fat.

Ideally, each meal will give your body just a little less than what it will need for sustenance until the next feeding. Obviously, you will not burn off 1,000 calories while watching TV in the evening so eating a meal that large before plopping on the couch is a surefire way to gain weight.

So, consider the time of day that you eat certain foods. Carbohydrates are your main source of long term energy because they are broken down more slowly and sustain the body for longer periods of time. If you eat too much of a carb rich food at once you are more likely to store it as fat.

To lose weight fast you need to limit carbs to earlier in the day, cutting them out completely in the afternoon so they can be burned off before you wind down in the evening. You can also use them as a snack prior to a long, intense workout where the energy will be needed.

For the bulk of your meals and snacks, take advantage of lean protein sources and vegetables and fruits that are lower in calories but deliver a big punch of vitamins and minerals your body needs to function.

Water is the last key to learning how to lose weight quickly. It keeps your stomach feeling full so you have less impulse to eat and if you drink right before a meal you are likely to get full faster and eat less.
