Dieting: Quick Weight Loss Tips
By Lauren S. Johnson
There are certain weight loss strategies which prove effective and certain weight loss strategies that are nothing more than a gimmick. As a potential dieting enthusiast it is important to be able to differentiate between the good vs. the bad weight loss strategies. Of course it is not as simple as it may seem because let’s face it, while one thing may work for one person it may not work for another. But rest assure, there are certain dieting factors which prove effective for everyone.

One dieting factor proven effective in weight loss is the consumption of protein. Recent studies show that women who consumed highest levels of protein (approximately 110 grams daily) maintained a 14 pound weight loss for more than a year; while women whose protein levels were around 72 grams daily, only experienced a 7 ½ pound weight loss during the same time period. Another dieting factor which proves effective for everyone is the consumption

of fruit and vegetables. I’m sure that everyone has heard about the five servings of fruit and vegetables daily, well that should be a very important part of your diet. If the you are currently on is low in fresh produce then you are missing out on a lot of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Given that most fruit and vegetables are high in fiber and in water they have the ability to keep you feeling full longer, thus discouraging you from consuming unhealthy junk food.


The third dieting factor which proves effective is exercise. Physical fitness is very important for anyone who wants to lose weight or maintain their current figure. In order to successfully attain weight loss you should try to exercise five days a week for at least 30 minutes each day. You should also remember that exercise builds muscle and muscle helps you burn more calories (even while at rest). These are just a few tips towards quick weight loss.
