Easy Fat Loss Tips to Include in Your Diet – And Wave Goodbye to Belly Fat : *Focus on eating clean and higher quality proteins :Not only proteins are the building blocks of life… they have other useful properties for fat loss. It helps your body control the appetite. This is what you should do… eat small portions of protein over the entire day. It will keep up your mental stamina… and prevent you from being tired and hungry. The following items are good source of high quality proteins that you should include in your diet: whey protein, wild caught fish (salmon, tuna), lean beef, chicken and even alternative sources of meat such as Buffalo and Ostrich.*Eat a lot of fruits and veggies that have fiber in them.: Sadly, the majority of North Americans have a lack of fruits and vegetables in their every day diet. Adding fruits and vegetables in you diet gives you an excellent chance in the battle against fat. I would also go on to say that you should eat at the very minimum… five servings of fruit and vegetables each day. So replace all your carbohydrates with much healthier veggies and fruits. Not only these choices are better for your health… they also fill you up for a longer period of time.*No more refined sugars! If you haven’t done this yet… you need to eliminate ALL sugars from your diet. Unfortunately, sugars bring nothing to the table as far as your body is concerned. When you eat refined sugars… you spike your blood sugar levels… so your body floods it with insulin (a hormone). And the insulin removes the sugar and converts it to belly fat. The entire process will make you tired and drain yourself of energy. In short… cut out the sugar from your diet… and you cut out your fat.

How does your diet look? What is the balance of carbohydrates and protein in your diet. Are you following a vegetarian weight loss diet?
Excess carbohydrates in the diet is one of the major reasons for weight gain i.e. cereal and toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, pasta for tea and other carb based snacks such as rice cakes and chocolate during the day. Excess carbs are easily stored as fat.
Any meal or snack high in carbohydrates generates a rapid rise in blood glucose. To adjust for this rise, the pancreas secretes the hormone insulin into the bloodstream, which lowers the glucose. Insulin is, though, essentially a storage hormone, evolved over those millions of years of humans prior to the agricultural age, to store the excess calories from carbohydrates in the form of fat in case of famine.
Insulin, stimulated by the excess carbohydrates in our overabundant consumption of grains, starches and sweets, is responsible for all those bulging stomachs and fat rolls in thighs and chins.
Top Tip for a vegetarian diet – Get Protein into every meal. Protein comes in the form of meat, soy products, cheese and dairy products. However, most of these are in the form of animal proteins, which add greatly to the bad cholesterol in our bodies. Therefore we need to look for high quality proteins, in our diet, from non-animal sources.
Healthy Breakfast
What type of breakfast do you have? Is your breakfast made up entirely of carbohydrates? Really how healthy is your breakfast cereal? How much fibre does it contain? Look at alternatives to breakfast cereals and toast.
Make sure you eat breakfast.
If you don’t eat breakfast, you slow down your metabolism and send the body into “hoard mode,” thinking it’s starving because you’re going a long period of time frequently 8 to 10 hours or more, without food. Or you develop a craving later in the day. Try a protein shake packed with nutrients, hunger busting soy protein and complex carbohydrates instead of skipping breakfast.
Don’t starve.
Dropping your calorie intake below 1,000 calories a day will signal to your body that you are in starvation mode, and will slow down your metabolism.
Find alternatives to carbohydrate based snacks
The supermarkets are full of carbohydrate snacks. Snacks such as rice cakes, chocolate bars, crisps and other bars where the principal ingredient is carbohydrate. Check the special offers, how many are carb based snacks? Why? Its a high profit item with low cost raw material. Take a look at the GI index of carb based snacks such as rice cakes. Can you open a pack of biscuits and just eat one? Carbs = short term sense of fullness. Protein = long term appetite control. Consider alternative snacks
What about fruit?
Yes a healthy snack as contains fibre and nutrients but avoid snacking on fruit as an alternative to a balanced meal containing protein, especially if sensitive to carbohydrates. There are more nutrients in vegetables!
Top tip when following a vegetarian diet. Get balance of snacks between fruit, protein and vegetables.
Eat smaller meals more frequently.
Smaller, more frequent meals keeps your blood sugar stable and provides a steady source of energy to fuel metabolism.
Build muscle with weight training or resistance exercise.
Muscle burns more calories than fat, and the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even at rest! Maintain a healthy muscle mass by maintaining adequate protein in your diet. Regard your muscles as fat furnaces.
Understanding Hypoglycemia
The ratio of macronutrients protein, carbohydrate, and fat-in the meals you eat is the key to permanent weight loss and optimal health.
Water, water, water!!
You’ve heard it before, but drink those 6-8 ,8-ounce glasses of water every day. The energy burning process of metabolism needs water to work effectively.
