Weight Loss Top Tips

Quick weight loss tips come in several flavours, but I’m only going to concentrate on what is safe and natural in this post. Back in my last post “Weight Loss Diets”, I touched upon some diet information that is helpful when losing weight whilst keeping a healthy outlook and making sure you only lose weight steadily.

So what are these stunningly incredible methods of losing weight fast that don’t involve costly and potentially dangerous surgery or taking any pills or drugs of any kind?

Well, the natural way is best in my book, so here are a few natural ways to lose weight fast.

First of all, while I do not endorse any form of crash diet, or starvation diet as these are clearly dangerous and will not be successful in the long term, there is a form of short term quick weight loss diet that will help you to lose weight fast as long as you stick to it. It centre’s around a type of soup that you will need to eat every day for a week and if you can stick to this, you will lose a few pounds and that, in the natural order of things is pretty fast weight loss.

The soup consists of cabbage mainly, with turnip, onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, broccoli and tomatoes. You can add as much garlic, black pepper and fresh herbs as you like but be frugal with the salt. I personally have added several curry spices such as coriander, cumin, cardamom and fenugreek to give it a more tasty flavour and also chilies to spice it up. How you flavour it is up to you, but you can’t add any potatoes or meat or fish and no bread is allowed either. You can’t have any dairy produce or eggs and definitely no cakes, biscuits, chocolates or sweets.

You eat this twice a day in place of main meals, although yo can have a decent breakfast of cereal, oats, muesli etc with yoghurt or even dry wholemeal toast. You can eat as much fresh fruit with your breakfast and after eating the soup as you like, although avoid bananas. No fried foods!

This is fairly nutritious soup and it will fill you up although you must stop the diet and return to more wholesome food after a week or you risk suffering from malnutrition!

This soup is used for heart patients to get some weight off fast before being prep’d for heart surgery.

So there you have it – a really natural and fast way to lose a few pounds in a week, but do not continue it past a week. You can go back to normal food for a week or two then return to this diet for a few days at a time, but it’s not to be used as a regular diet. You have been warned!
