Nowadays, there are so many ways to lose weight or slim down body fat. Many people may not know how to succeed in dieting without starving themselves. In the battle of losing weight, you must be able to eat meals and exercise on the regular.

Here are some healthy weight loss tips with some foods and vegetables which will increase your weight loss if you eat them correctly and practice these simple rules:

Sources of protein: Chicken breast, turkey breast, salmon, lean ground beef, egg whites, and lean ground turkey.

Sources of Carbohydrates: Baked potato, sweet potato, squash, pumpkin, brown rice, pasta, oatmeal, barley, beans, apple, fat-free yogurt and whole wheat bread

Sources of Vegetables: Broccoli, asparagus, lettuce, carrots, cauliflower, green peppers, green beans, spinach, peas, tomato, cabbage, celery, zucchini and cucumber

As you eat a meal, you only want to eat a portion that is the size of your fist. Eat a portion of protein, a portion of complex carbohydrates, and a portion of veggies every 3-4 hours. Eat 5-6 meals a day if possible. What this does is keeps your body filled with the necessary food, which will allow energy to be built and burned.

After 3pm, you only want to eat a portion of protein and a portion of veggies at each meal. When cooking your meal, you only want to use olive oil and fat free dressing for salads. The olive is a pure oil which has no saturated fat, as well as the salad dressing.

Also, when cooking your meals, you will want to bake, grill, steam or broil. By baking, grilling, steaming or broiling, this leaves out the grease factor. It also allows you to savor the texture and taste of your foods. When chewing your food, you want to follow the, Chew, chew, swallow technique. This will increase your taste buds to be more satisfied.

You may also drink a protein drink as a portion also. The most effective drink that is necessary though, is water. Drink a gallon of water daily 48-100 ounces (more if you can). Start out gradually and add more each week.

Now here is your special treat. Choose one day a week (or 2 if needed) to use as “eat days”. Eat anything and as much as you want on this day…and I mean ANYTHING! It not only helps keep your sanity, it also helps your body to keep guessing and therefore continues to speed up your metabolism.

But most of all, it is all about exercise, I repeat, you must have some type of exercise in your daily routine. Just 30 minutes a day will do the job. A walk around the neighborhood, a jog on the treadmill, aerobics, or weightlifting are some ways to exercise and increase weight loss.
