10 Tips & Tricks on How to Lose Weight 10 Tips 2 | Page 2

1. Add Protein to Your Diet.
When it comes to weight loss, protein is the king of nutrients. Your body burns calories when
digesting and metabolizing the protein you eat, so a high-protein diet can boost metabolism
by up to 80-100 calories per day. A high-protein diet can also make you feel more full and
reduce your appetite. In fact, some studies show that people eat over 400 fewer calories per
day on a high-protein diet. Even something as simple as eating a high-protein breakfast (like
eggs) can have a powerful effect.
2. Eat Whole, Single-Ingredient Foods.
One of the best things you can do to become healthier is to base your diet on whole, single-
ingredient foods. By doing this, you eliminate the vast majority of added sugar, added fat and
processed food. Most whole foods are naturally very filling, making it a lot easier to keep
within healthy calorie limits. Furthermore, eating whole foods also provides your body with
the many essential nutrients that it needs to function properly. Weight loss often follows as a
natural "side effect" of eating whole foods.
3. Avoid Processed Foods.
Processed foods are usually high in added sugars, added fats and calories.
What's more, processed foods are engineered to make you eat as much as possible. They are
much more likely to cause addictive-like eating than unprocessed foods.
