Need to lose weight fast? Want to speed up the effectiveness of your diet pills? Using a weight loss supplement like Meridia and want to make sure you get the most out of it? Here are some tips for new fad dieters—a few do’s and don’ts to help you diet effectively and safely.
1. Never dip below 1000 calories in a day, short-term, or 1500 calories a day, long-term. Any diet that requires you to eat less than 1000 calories in a day is probably not a very healthy diet. Your body needs a certain amount of calories in order to survive. It’s calories that give us energy to move around and be active and it’s calories that contain (usually) key nutrients and proteins.
2. You don’t want to starve yourself. Obviously this is related to tip #1—if a diet requires you to starve yourself, it obviously doesn’t have your best interests in mind. Starving yourself may help you squeeze into that dress you’ve been dying to wear, but it will also trick your body into moving into starvation mode. When this happens, your body begins to think that whatever food it gets may be the last, and holds on to it for dear life, making it very hard to lose weight after a certain point. Also, as soon as you reintroduce calories into your diet, you’ll gain back all the weight that you lost extremely quickly.
3. Eat all of your food groups. A diet that cuts carbs completely isn’t good for you. Fruits, after all, are considered carbs because of their sugar content; and it’s important that you eat fruit. Eat all of your food groups every day.
4. Don’t only diet, but exercise too. Easier said than done, I know, but it’s crucial for your metabolism, your happiness, and for the longevity of your weight loss (that is, to lose weight and keep it off) that you exercise regularly.
