Rapid Weight Loss Diets for Women

"If you wish to grow thinner, diminish your dinner." - Henry Sambrooke Leigh

The above quote, reflects words that ring true, since eating in the night-time isn't advisable, especially after 8 p.m. It has to do with one's metabolic rate, since the lower it is, the slower the digestion process. So it ultimately leads one to feel bloated. It is important to have small meals, as well as incorporate activity in your lifestyle.

Rapid Weight Loss Diet Plan

It is a crucial part of any diet, to first maintain your portion intake. Your stomach needs only enough of food and drink to eliminate hunger pangs, and give the body only what it needs. Your prime purpose is to get in shape, stop overeating, get active and make up your mind about having that body you've always wanted. When I first started my diet regime, I made up my mind one day to start losing weight, by first cutting down on my portions and switched to a vegan diet (except on weekend binges), and completely shunned off dinner. The last thing that went into my system was green tea at 7:30 p.m, and I wouldn't touch anything until the following morning. Here's how you should manage your diet, where stressing on portions is key to losing weight.

Breakfast
The most important meal of the day has to be eaten generously. In that I mean, eat a good big sized portion and alternate it everyday with something else. For example, if you were to opt for a nice big bowl of fruit, load up on the fresh fruits, eliminating more than one banana, because of its high sugar content; but take a small bowl of cereal to go with it, and vice verse. Don't binge on a big sized fruit and cereal bowl, but know how to minimize on intake by alternating it as you like. When having breakfast, you could try out easy-to-make weight-loss shake recipes, to prepare in the morning, and a small bowl of cereal, since the shake will be heavy already. It'll help you get all the nutrients that you require, and energize you for the busy day ahead.

Lunch
Lunch isn't as heavily laden as breakfast, although one good meal is necessary. Opt for protein rich foods, with a small amount of good fats and carbohydrates to go with it. Like say a nice big bowl of salad, with a lot of leafy greens, tomatoes, olives, peppers, chili, olive oil, sliced cucumbers, julienned zucchini, topped off with low-fat salad dressing. Remember to have either a big bowl of salad, or a healthy meal of white meat and a side of vegetables. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, and drink hot green tea after meals, and then regular water an hour after. This 6 meals a day diet menu plan should get you started on a whole day of this low-fat diet regime, that will keep your metabolism perked up and running.

Munchies
Like I mentioned earlier, metabolism is low during the night-time, but is high when the day comes around. That is why it is good to load up on a healthy balanced breakfast in the day, since the body is running high on energy and burns fat faster too. Munchies like unsalted nuts are a nice way of filling in the gaps between breakfast and lunch, and then lunch and your evening snack. Make sure to have just a quarter cup of nuts/day, since some of them like cashews, almonds and peanuts have high fat content.

Evening Meal
Dinner shouldn't be a whole meal like that of lunch, but something extremely light and eaten early in the evening like non-fat (unsalted) buttered brown bread with green tea, or a mini fruit salad bowl. I keep stressing on green tea, since it helps aid in weight loss as well as ridding the body of toxins. Two glasses of green tea a day, is sufficient. The body needs to detox once in a while, so consult your physician about going on a lemon cayenne pepper maple syrup cleansing diet, which not only cleanses your system but will help in shedding some extra pounds.

Also remember to eat foods that are baked, boiled or grilled (electric not coal based) which is a healthier alternative to frying (use olive oil if you want to fry food). Junk foods shouldn't be indulged in at all during the week, but keep one day, like say Sundays, for your favorite foods (do not overdo it). It is like rewarding yourself for holding off tempting foods for a whole week. You'll enjoy food even more knowing that you were able to stick to your diet for 6 days straight.

Just don't break the rules during your diet, since the body has to get used to eating small portions. Once it does, you'll notice how easy it is to avoid extra food, and how adamant you'll be to start getting active as well. Exercising or yoga is crucial in getting your body in shape, to lose extra fat faster and in a healthy manner, as opposed to crash dieting. Even brisk walking/jogging 15-20 minutes everyday will help you substantiate your weight loss endeavor, when going by these rapid weight loss diets.

List of Foods to Eat for Rapid Weight Loss

These are the best foods to eat to lose weight, that you can incorporate in your breakfast, lunch and evening meal. Just be sure to stay clear from weight gaining foods, while on your diet. Don't be afraid to experiment and try out a little something new once in a while.
  • Legumes
  • Oatmeal
  • Beans (navy, white, lima, kidney)
  • Whole grains
  • Seafood
  • Protein powder
  • Fresh fruits and vegetables
  • ¼ cup of almonds/other nuts
  • Berries (all kinds)
  • Olive oil
  • Unsweetened peanut butter (contains niacin, aiding in digestive and cuts down on bloating)
  • Egg whites
  • Iced tea
  • Lean meats
  • Dairy (low-fat)
  • Bell peppers
  • Salads
  • High fiber cereal (low-fat)
  • Sprouted pulses

Not many people will have the same diet plans in mind, but one thing I can assure you is smaller portions work, staying active works and eating the right foods definitely work. If you instill these three important factors into a diet regime, you'll see the results yourself when you religiously start off. It won't be easy to maintain this diet in the beginning, with obvious cravings that will push its way to the fore. Self-control and motivation from yourself, family and friends, will help you get there eventually.
