How to lose weight fast (but safely and sensibly) – 9Honey

Most of us know to be wary of anything that promises to help you drop a dress size by Friday! Experts continually tell us that gradual weight loss is the most effective way to lose kilos and keep them off: when you lose weight quickly, your body goes into survival mode and your metabolism works to try to gain it back. Sabotage!

But if youre a month out from a beach vacation, or get invited to the same event as your ex and want a revenge body, its possible to drop a few kilos quickly and safely.

It depends on how much weight you want to lose and how much time you have, but nutritionist Susie Burrell, creator of the Shape Me program, has shared her advice with Coach no lemon juice and maple syrup required (looking at you, Beyonce).

Aim for 15-20 grams of protein to help regulate your insulin and glucose levels, Burrell advises. The earlier you eat your breakfast, the better it will be for your metabolism.

Go for eggs on toast, or one of these nine high-protein breakfast ideas.

A rich vegetable soup based on leeks, onions and celery is not only delicious but will help rid the body of any extra fluid you have been accumulating, leaving you feeling lighter and more energized, Burrell explains.

Have a bowl of veggie soup for lunch and/or dinner and youre likely to lose a kilo or two within a couple of days.

Having salad for lunch can start out with the best intentions, and end with you raiding the office biscuit tin by 3pm. But it doesnt have to be this way.

Base your lunch around a salad with lean protein (grilled chicken, tuna or smoked salmon) and some low GI carbs like corn, sweet potato or beans to help keep you full all afternoon, says Burrell.

Skipping carbs at dinner may help you lose weight faster, since we tend to be less active at night so are less likely to burn off what eat (plus its easier to skip carbs at dinner than lunch, since you go to bed soon after).

Keep dinner light, with a palm size serve of lean meat, chicken or fish and plenty of vegetables, Burrell advises.

When youre trying to slim down, the earlier you eat dinner the better a period of fasting overnight, say from 7pm to 7am, is believed to encourage weight loss.

The milk in your coffee or tea can add up to a significant amount of calories throughout the day enough to make the difference between losing weight or not.

Coffee and tea can also disrupt your natural hunger and fullness signals, Burrell warns.

Switch to black coffee or herbal tea, as well as lots of water, and Burrell says youll quickly notice how much more in control of your appetite you are.
