A possible downside of a low-fat diet is that restricting too much fat can lead to many health problems. Fats are responsible for hormone production, cell health and nutrient absorption in the body. You may inhibit these processes if fats reduce beyond a certain level. 

Tips to Lose weight Fast

1. Eat Regular meals

Eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar.

2. Eat Plenty of Fruits and Vegetables

Fruit and vegetables are low in calories and fat, and high in fibre essential ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals.

3. Drink Plenty of Water 

People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need.

4. Eat High Fibre foods
Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep you feeling full, which is perfect for losing weight. Fibre is only found in food from plants, such as fruit and veg, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice and pasta, and beans, peas and lentils.
 

5. Use Smaller Plate 

By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.

6. Increase Protein intake

Eating protein can reduce hunger and increase the feeling of fullness. It helps you reduce overall calorie intake and is a practical and effective way to lose weight fast. Examples of protein-rich foods include fish, Greek yoghurt, lentils and almonds.

7. Cut down on Alcohol

A standard glass of wine can contain as many calories as a piece of chocolate. Over time, drinking too much can easily contribute to weight gain.

8. Sleep well 

Good sleeping habits can go a long way in helping you lose weight. Lack of sleep is associated with hormones like leptin and ghrelin. These hormones increase cravings for unhealthy foods and contribute to increasing weight. Sound sleep also helps in preventing chronic conditions like diabetes.

9. Avoid Junk Foods

To avoid temptation, do not stock junk food – such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks – at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn, and fruit juice.

10. Get More Active

Being active is key to losing weight and keeping it off. As well as providing lots of health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories you cannot lose through diet alone.

11. Do not skip breakfast

Skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight. You could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry.

12. Plan your meals

Try to plan your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the week, making sure you stick to your calorie allowance. You may find it helpful to make a weekly shopping list.

13. Do not ban foods

Do not ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you like. Banning foods will only make you crave them more.
