How to Lose Weight, Fast and Easy Ways

You can manage to lose a few pounds on two conditions: change your eating habits and increase your physical activity. If you don't exercise today, it's not necessarily a matter of doing sports, but a daily walk or a little swimming every week can already do a lot.

Attention! If you need to lose five pounds or more, go to a doctor or dietitian because you need regular follow-up.

The basic rules for losing weight
To change your diet, you need to reduce calorie intake moderately, i.e. first fats and fast sugars. Good food practices (see "The Guide to Good Food Practices") must be followed by a few simple rules.

1. Do not skip meals, especially breakfast which should remain plentiful. Have a light meal in the evening;
2. Don't eat anything outside of meals. If you are hungry between meals, drink a large glass of water, coffee or sugar-free tea. Drink also before the meal and in the middle of the meal.
3. Continue to eat starchy foods at every meal: pasta, rice, potatoes or bread. They provide a feeling of satiety and provide the energy you need, as well as fibers. On the other hand, everything that accompanies them is to limit: oily sauces, butter, cheese, etc. It is therefore necessary to consume these starchy foods alone or with a seasoning without sugar or fat.
4. Remove sugary soft drinks.
5. Remove alcohol and beer. You can continue to drink wine, preferably red, by limiting yourself to one drink a day.
6. Avoid eating out of your home as it is more difficult to control your diet. In the restaurant it is sometimes possible, with friends it is more difficult. If you have a good meal together, then try to reduce the quantities and especially never tighten up on a dish.
7. Choose lean meats and favour poultry, without skin, fish and crustaceans.
8. Beware of hidden fats: avoid all meats in sauce, fatty deli meats, gratins rich in milk, butter or cream, Gruyere and eggs, frying, pastries and pastries, sweets and chocolate, ice creams, cakes aperitifs;
9. Eat vegetables at will and in all their forms: raw, cooked, in soup.

Eat two fruits a day, but no more;
Cooking to choose
Meat: grilled or roasted;
Fish: grilled, baked or microwaved, or in foil;
Vegetables: steamed, smothered or microwaved;
Make the seasonings and sauces as fat as possible: put a little oil, butter or cream, then use lemon, yogurt, cube broth and soy sauce, finally season to your liking with herbs and spices.
How can we lose weight for a long time?
To lose weight you have to rely on a few solid principles:

Give yourself time, at least a month to lose 2 to 3 kilos;
Prevent cravings and fatigue;
Stick to the rules set out in the first place;
Avoid vitamin and mineral deficiencies;
Do not use medication or special foods for dieting;
Keep as much fun to eat as possible.
To slim down, determination above all!
While respecting these nutritional rules, to lose weight it is good to know how to choose the least energetic foods. It is therefore useful to know roughly the nutritional value of some common foods (see "Discover the nutritional value of food").

You still have to be determined and not give in to all temptations. The first week is often difficult but the first kilo lost is encouraging! However, small deviations are allowed as long as they are exceptional. It's up to you to find a balance without falling into the obsession with food and frustration. Otherwise, you risk cracking and starting to nibble impulsively, then feel guilty and start to deprive yourself, and thus fall into a totally unproductive cycle compared to your weight loss goal!
