Here are some fast diet tips that can be followed anywhere, everyday:

1. Make a delicious low fat mayonnaise by combining one teaspoon of Dijon mustard or satay sauce with a low fat yogurt.

2. Do not skip meals. Skipping meals slicks the body into slowing down the metabolism, attempting to conserve calories during a period where limited fats and fuel are available. Remember that eating increases the metabolism.

3. Stuff vegetables like capsicum and zucchini with flavored fillings or minced chicken, white meat or fish. These are healthy and contain low fat.

4. Take pita bread roll ups or wraps with salad fillings.

5. Eight hours after waking up, our metabolism slows down that is why 30 minutes of exercise before dinner will increase the metabolism for about two to three hours. This produces an increase in burned fat even hours after the work out is over.

6. Add alfalfa or mung beans to salad to get extra iron.

7. Good cooking and healthy eating begins with learning about nutrition and how to prepare healthy recipes.

8. Learn how to make the family favorite recipes and make sure that fats, salt, and sugar are cut out. Substitute non-fat yogurt for cream, stir-fry without oil and use herbs and spices instead of salt to taste.

9. Consult the doctor before beginning an exercise or weight loss program.

10. Slowly eat and chew each bite during meals as this would decrease one's appetite.

11. Complete three small meals and two snacks everyday instead of one or two huge meals.

12. Use chicken stock when stir-frying. This will cut down on hidden fat.

13. Buy non-toasted muesli instead of the toasted ones. A plate of toasted muesli contains more fat than a plate of bacon and eggs.

14. As much as possible do not remove the skins of fruits and vegetables since most of the nutrients are concentrated under the skin.

15. Warm water with just a squeeze of lemon juice before breakfast get the metabolism going for the day, this also help preventing constipation and is excellent for the skin.

16. One of the best sources of vegetable protein is from soya beans or tofu. All legumes provide some protein, so include lentils, lima beans etc into casseroles and soups.

17. Look for a weight loss "buddy," club, or support mates. This will motivate you to stay and enjoy your weight loss program.

18. Though it's hard at first, try not eating 3 hours or more before bedtime.

19. Make pasta a fast food choice - preparing a pasta meal or salad will only take 10-12 minutes.

20. Chilli helps to speed up metabolism - even the milder varieties.

21. Try making omelettes without adding the yolks! A dramatic decrease in fat.

22. Substitute baking soda, baking powder, MSG and soya sauce in cooking.

23. Remove fat by dropping ice cubes into the baking tray. Fat will stick to the ice cubes.

24. Drinking hot water instead of cold water in the morning can increase the speed of your metabolism and burn more calories.

25. Eat before you go food shopping and always prepare a shopping list. Only buy food which relates to your weekly menu plan and don't be tempted to buy goodies.

Make sure that the right discipline is still practiced to promote consistency on the diet plan. This will lead eventually to a healthy life-style and a more fruitful living without the extra fat and extra pounds on the side.

false.

I believe it's warm or tepid water, you definitely will burn more calories with hot water only because you'll be running and jumping around after you get scalded.

I have read in multiple places that drinking ice water burns calories not warm water. I could be wrong but I have read that since your body temperature is much higher than the temp of ice water you actually burn calories upping your body temp back up once it has been brought back down from the ice water. Again I could be totally wrong but I read that somewhere.

I agree. Hot water only works when you add plenty of caffeine...

I hear cold water (large amounts, too cold) can mess with your digestion sometimes. Something about enzymes and all that other shit working best at certain temperatures. *shrugs* some nutritionist told me that.

A lot of those ideas are wrong. Eating before bed is fine. Fats are not bad, you just don't want to get a shit ton of saturated fat (and you want no trans fats at all if possible)

Pasta is horrible as a fast meal choice unless you know what you are eating imo. It's all too easy to down a grand of calories in pasta if you're not careful, I've done it before. Stick to something like a protein shake and a couple teaspoons of natty PB for satiety in a pinch.

Couldnt agree more. most of the ideas follow the correct general guideline, however they are similar to the bullshit you see in womens gossip magazine, about how this weeks D-list celeb followed a brand new diet, did 3 sets of lunges a day and managed to lose 10lbs in 2 weeks as well as turning all the fat on her ass to muscle....

its the same sort of shit i hear from my female friends when they ask me how to get in shape, as soon as i mention the word weights they tell me they dont want to be a body builder, they just want to ''tone up''!!! and i really start to lose the will to live when they tell me they need to run to ''burn all their fat off''

1. Regularly “feed your mind” with information about nutrition. Knowledge is a great motivator. One of the best ways to do this is to subscribe to a reputable health or nutrition magazine or newsletter that provides articles on nutrition, commentary on the latest research, and answers to readers’ questions. Choose one that is NOT associated with a particular diet plan or line of supplements.

2. If you don’t like low-fat salad dressings, don’t force yourself to eat them. Instead find (or create) a salad dressing that you really love, using one of the “good” oils — preferably canola or olive. Then cut the fat by adding a great Balsamic vinegar — 2/3 dressing, 1/3 vinegar or even 50-50. Lemon juice works well, too.

3. Don’t eat unless you are hungry. Don’t eat because it’s time to, don’t eat to be polite, don’t eat to celebrate, and don’t eat because it’s there. Most of all, don’t eat to satisfy emotional hunger. Just say no — it’s really not that hard.

4. Learn to love fresh vegetables. How? By eating them — lots of them. Steam them, microwave them or eat them raw in salads. Just one rule: NO BUTTER. Dip vegetables in hummus. Season with herbs, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, or toss in a little seasoned olive oil just before serving.

5. Occasionally stroll through one of those outdoor farmers markets that sells local produce. Being surrounded by piles of gorgeous vegetables and fruits is every bit as seductive as an ice cream parlor or bakery. It’s like taking a total immersion language course. Health consciousness by proximity.

6. Become a connoisseur of fruit. If you think all pears are named Bartlett, introduce yourself to D’Angou and the incredibly delectable Comice. If your market doesn’t offer variety, ask the produce manager to branch out — or shop elsewhere.

7. For a quick meal add extra vegetables (red and yellow peppers, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, broccoli, peas) to one of those pasta-in-a-pan concoctions from the frozen food case.

8. If you are addicted to sweets, get rid of the stimuli. Purge the pantry of candy, cookies and pastries. Get the ice cream and sugary soft drinks out of the refrigerator. Don’t buy the stuff, period. If you can stay away from sugar for a month or so, you will find the craving greatly diminished if not completely gone. It’s incredibly liberating!

9. For a hearty breakfast, combine three or four fresh fruits (berries, cubed melon or mango, sliced bananas, peaches, pears, etc.) and top with a no-fat-added granola. If you like, add a few tablespoons of low-fat or nonfat yogurt and top with a sprinkling of chopped walnuts or pecans.

10. Don’t be an “unconscious eater.” Pay attention to what you are putting in your mouth, when you’re putting it there, and why. Slow down and savor the myriad flavors of good food.

11. Don’t starve yourself. Consuming too few calories can create feelings of deprivation and lead to binge eating. Food is fuel, and without sufficient fuel your “engine” will sputter and cut out. In addition, eating too little can lead to deficiencies of essential vitamins and minerals.

12. Keep on hand a supply of healthy snacks: nonfat yogurt, fresh fruit, dried fruit, rice cakes, baby carrots, and low-fat, whole-grain crackers like Triscuits® and the fabulous ak mak®.

13. Invest in a fruit ripener —a spherical, clear plastic container found in many kitchen gadget stores. For speedy, even ripening, load with avocados, bananas, tomatoes, peaches, pears or any fruits that require ripening.

14. Put fresh lemon juice in a spray bottle for spritzing salads, vegetables, even chicken. Lime juice is great, too. Try it drizzled over corn on the cob with a shake of chili powder.

15. Store your scales in a remote closet (hey, these are RADICAL tips). Constantly weighing yourself can be both discouraging and misleading. For one thing, muscle weighs more than fat, so if you are exercising and building muscle while losing fat, the scales might not register much change. You’ll know how you’re doing anyway — by how you feel and the way your clothes fit. Let your physician do the weighing at office visits.

16. Say farewell to fast-food restaurants. They are the enemy. If you live in a small community that offers little else in the way of dining out options, mourn the loss and take back responsibility for feeding yourself. Pack your lunches, spend a little more time in the kitchen, or organize a healthy-eating cooperative with extended family and friends, “dining out” at each other’s homes on a rotational schedule. If you live in a large community, do a little research off the beaten path. Find restaurants that know what a vegetable looks like and actually serve them. Thai, Greek, Indian and Japanese restaurants are good candidates.

17. Drink plenty of water. Sometimes what feels like hunger is actually thirst. Soft drinks — even diet soft drinks — are not acceptable substitutes. If your tap water is marginal, invest in bottled water.

18. Like baked potatoes? In place of butter and sour cream, fill with bruschetta sauce or your favorite salsa, and diced avocado. Add chopped fresh tomatoes, black beans, onion, cilantro, corn, or diced green or red bell peppers (fresh or fire roasted).

19. Many restaurants take pride in serving huge portions, but that doesn’t mean you have to get huge eating them. If the serving size is enough for two, split it with your dining partner or take half home for tomorrow’s lunch. Suggestion: Make the decision before digging in, and move the “save” portion to the side of your plate.

20. Reverse the composition of your plate and palette. Instead of a big slab of meat with a dollop of vegetables and rice, make vegetables and grains the focus of most meals, with relatively small portions of meat, poultry and seafood. Request similar dispensations at restaurants. Many will be happy to comply.

21. Replace saturated and polyunsaturated fats (butter and most oils) with canola and olive oils, which are largely monounsaturated and heart protective. Avoid hydrogenated fats (margarine, commercial baked goods, puddings, chips, cookies and crackers). Hydrogenation makes some unsaturated fats more saturated and also results in “trans fats,” increasing the risk of heart disease.

22. Fill your plate with color. When choosing fruits and vegetables, deep reds and purples, dark greens, and bright yellows and oranges usually mean more vitamins, minerals and protective plant pigments. Top choices are blueberries, strawberries, cherries, plums, raspberries, red grapes, kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, beets, red bell peppers, eggplant and carrots. And go for red leaf or romaine lettuce over iceberg.

23. Bring on the beans. Red, white, black, pink, pinto, kidney, garbanzo — beans are one the most nutritious foods you can eat, extremely low in fat and high in fiber, phytochemicals, folate, potassium, protein, magnesium, vitamin B-6, zinc, copper, and iron. Serve in salads, soups, pasta and vegetable dishes, as a topping for potatoes, in salsa garnishes for seafood, and teamed with rice. (Beans get a bad rap for causing intestinal gas, which thorough cooking and rinsing usually prevents.)

24. Substitute plain, nonfat yogurt for high-fat, high-calorie items like mayonnaise and sour cream. Use it in tuna and potato salads, cole slaw, smoothies, baked potatoes, dips and spreads (blended with a little cream cheese). Add a tablespoon or two to sauces just before serving.

25. EXERCISE. When you eat more than your body needs, the excess is stored as fat — that’s a law of physics. Muscle is the engine of the body. If you want to burn more fuel (calories), build a bigger engine. With a fitter, stronger, more active body, you will burn more calories more efficiently. In fact, for preventing practically anything and everything that can go wrong with your body, exercise is the number one common denominator.
