At some point or another, you may have started a weight loss diet or exercise program, and possibly saw some results, at the beginning.

This is why we always suggest working with alongside our professional coaches as they will remove this disappointment for you.

More often than not, we set up for failure before we even get going with our weight loss goals. So, with that in mind, we want to help you jump start your weight loss, today.

In this post you are going to learn how:

– Eating real food will jump-start weight loss.
– Intermittent Fasting will jump-start weight loss.
– Drinking caffeine will jump-start weight loss.
– Avoiding refined carbs jump-starts weight loss.
– HIIT jumps starts weight loss.

Eating Real Food Will Jump Start Weight Loss

 

The simplest, healthiest, but yet most overlooked aspect of speeding up weight loss, is eating real food. Before you do anything else, start to include a range of:


Fruits.
Vegetables.
Whole protein sources.
Healthy fats.
Nuts.
Seeds.

 

By addressing this point first, you are setting yourself up for sustained weight loss journey that will go much further than a week or so. This change will make all the difference.

By selecting real whole food sources, you are providing yourself with a range of vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins, and carbs. These are going to keep you fuller for longer after each meal.

This means you are less likely to seek out food all the time. This is great, as it means you will eat less throughout the day.

The exciting benefits of real food don’t stop there…

By eating real food you are also increasing the amount of fibre you are eating. Not only will this help with keeping you fuller for longer, but you provide your gut with a range of healthy bacteria.

 

Intermittent Fasting Will Jump Start Weight Loss

Intermittent Fasting is quite possibly the easiest point in this post that you can start for yourself. This doesn’t need to be a complicated process.

All you need to do is skip breakfast tomorrow morning, and simply have your first meal of the day around lunchtime.

That’s it.

By doing this you are limiting the amount of time you can food for each day. Over days and weeks, this small change will have a dramatic effect on your weight loss, especially when just starting out.

Learn more about Intermittent Fasting in our breakdown on this blog.

 

Drinking Caffeine Will Jump Start Weight Loss

A scientific study in 2013 had 33 participants take part in weight loss investigation. They wanted to find out if coffee could help reduce the appetite of the participants.

The study revealed that coffee, when drank in the morning, did in fact, aid in the overall reduction of food intake that day.

To put it another way:

Participants who drank coffee ate less food than those participants who had no coffee.
This is great news for those of you wanting to try fasting in the mornings. Not only will fasting help you lose weight as mentioned above, but by having coffee in the morning it will also reduce any appetite that may be there.

Avoiding Refined Carbs Jumps Starts Weight Loss

If you put into place the first point of this post about eating real food, then this next section isn’t really an issue for you.

That said, we are still going to explain how eating refined carbs will have a negative effect on jump-starting your weight loss.

Refined carbs in the form of honey, sugars, candy, some bread, and pasta wreak havoc on your blood sugar, and insulin levels.

For those of you unsure what this means, let’s take a look…….

Firstly, let’s start with insulin.

When insulin levels increase due to the high sugar content of refined carbs, burning your body fat cannot happen.

Your body has to burn the sugar you have eaten first. Now, depending on how much sugar you ate, this could be a very long time before you start burning fat again.

This is especially true if you eat another sugary meal not long after (very common to do this).

Secondly, when blood sugars rise and fall due to sugary meals, so will your hunger and appetite.

Once this starts to happen, you have little control over when you eat next. If you leave it too long, it can result in a headache or dizziness which is your bodies way of saying it needs more sugar.

High sugary meals leave you hungry again not long after. This then leads to excessive overeating.

We’re sure you’ll agree with us, that this isn’t an ideal way to jump-start any weight loss.

 

HIIT Jumps Starts Weight Loss.

Exercise is the most beneficial way to jump-start weight loss and keep weight off, too. By exercise, we don’t just mean any type of exercise, we are talking about high-intensity interval training or better known as HIIT.

Not only can you finish a HIIT session in under 20 minutes, but it can also burn fat better than a conventional exercise routine.

A study in 2011 looked the effects of HIIT. What they found may shock you………

The study states that not only will HIIT improve fitness levels, but it’s also a better option for burning stubborn belly fat!

While there are many ways to perform HIIT, we recommended starting out with our proven HIIT Lean program.
