KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA ( http://lifestyleuganda.com/) — In this article, we’ll show you ten scientifically proven ways to lose weight fast that actually work. With these tips, you may lose weight faster and with better long-term results than you might think.

Contents
#1. Exercise Every Day#2. Follow A Diet Plan#3. Intermittent Fasting4. Go Keto to Achieve Weight Loss Faster#5. Take Supplements#6. Meditate#7. Sleep Well to Lose Weight Fast#8. Stay Positive And Avoid Negative People#9. Use Your Willpower and Stay Committed To The Process#10. Have Patience – Results Don’t Happen Over Night

For many people, losing weight as quickly as possible is their goal when they go on a diet or try to lose weight in general. 

While there are many different methods that can help you lose weight fast, some of them actually slow down your metabolism and make it harder to keep the weight off long-term, which makes it much more difficult to maintain your healthy lifestyle after you’ve reached your target weight. 

These 10 scientifically proven ways to lose weight fast will get you there faster and with better long-term results than other diet strategies.

#1. Exercise Every Day

When it comes to weight loss, daily exercise can have tremendous benefits. It increases metabolic rate, improves insulin resistance and blood pressure levels and decreases stress hormone production. 

Studies show that people who work out on a regular basis tend to eat less because they have higher levels of self-discipline than their sedentary counterparts. 

To lose weight faster, aim for 30 minutes of cardio each day.

#2. Follow A Diet Plan

Following a diet plan allows you to eat fewer calories than you burn. It also ensures that your meals are balanced and healthy, which helps promote weight loss in both men and women. 

There are many types of diets, but it’s important to note that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach; when it comes to dieting, individual needs vary widely.

According to Harvard Medical School, people have different metabolic rates due to differences in age, gender and level of physical activity. 

In other words, one diet may work for one person but not for another—your individual calorie needs depend on your age, height and activity level as well as other factors.

#3. Intermittent Fasting

The good news is that a lot of research supports intermittent fasting as an effective, healthy means of weight loss.

The bad news is that more and more research suggests how your body reacts when you are restricting calories may matter even more than how many calories you restrict. 

Intermittent fasting has many positive health effects, including boosting brain function and reducing inflammation levels, but if it causes you to feel drained and exhausted during your fasted state (which can happen), then it’s not for you. 

It’s best for people who don’t mind feeling a little bit hungry from time to time, as long as they don’t mind feeling super energized at other times.

4. Go Keto to Achieve Weight Loss Faster

One of the simplest and most effective ways to lose weight is going keto. It’s when you eat foods that are high in fat and low in carbs. There are a lot of different benefits to eating like that, including helping you get into ketosis, which will help you burn more calories. 

When your body burns more calories, it also automatically starts eating away at fat for energy instead of storing it. You end up losing weight without trying or feeling like you’re starving yourself or even limiting what you can eat—you just have to change how you eat. 

So try going keto for a few weeks, and if it works for you and helps with your weight loss goals, stay with it! If not, don’t worry about it!

#5. Take Supplements

There is some evidence that certain supplements can help accelerate weight loss, but most are a waste of money. 

A 2013 review published in Advances in Nutrition found that meal replacement and supplement drinks were helpful for short-term weight loss, but recommended against using them as a long-term solution. 

The other four studies cited in their research also support these findings. Although fat burners aren’t totally useless, they are unnecessary and potentially harmful. If you are interested in losing weight faster, stick with proven methods. 

Also, note that most dietary supplements have not been tested for efficacy or safety and none of them come with FDA approval for weight loss.

#6. Meditate

Meditation isn’t just a simple way to reduce stress; it’s a proven method for overcoming one of weight loss’s biggest hurdles: a consistent, nutritious diet. That’s because meditation can reduce cortisol levels and stress hormones that cause fat storage around your abdomen. 

Researchers from Harvard Medical School found that people who spend more time relaxing have smaller waists and lower BMIs than those who don’t practice daily calm-downs. 

If you do start with 10 minutes of meditating per day, however, be sure to work up to at least 30 minutes by adding on five minutes every week until you reach your goal duration.

#7. Sleep Well to Lose Weight Fast

Having enough sleep and getting a good night’s rest will help you wake up feeling energized and refreshed, meaning you won’t have as much of an urge to turn to food for a quick fix. 

If you are looking for ways on how to lose weight faster, try getting between 6-8 hours of sleep every night. Getting more than 8 hours is fine but can cause problems with excessive daytime drowsiness and makes it harder to wake up in time for work. 

Once you learn how much sleep your body needs each night, set an alarm so that way you don’t oversleep.

#8. Stay Positive And Avoid Negative People

When you’re trying to lose weight, it can be easy (and tempting) to spend time with people who make weight loss harder. 

While you may think that a little complaining will motivate you, research suggests otherwise: A study published in The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests that social support is an important part of how our mood affects how we see ourselves. 

When we’re hanging out with people who make us feel good about ourselves, there’s less room for negative thinking—especially if those people help remind us of why we do want to lose weight in the first place.

#9. Use Your Willpower and Stay Committed To The Process

How many times have you set a goal and then failed to accomplish it? It’s easy to get discouraged but stay committed. 

Success takes time; don’t expect immediate results if you haven’t been exercising or eating right. It can take weeks or months for weight loss results to appear, so be patient as you go through your journey. 

Keep your goals in mind and remember why you started your journey: because losing weight will improve your life! If necessary, get a friend involved and ask them for help staying on track. 

Everyone who’s made a successful lifestyle change has faced challenges along their journey—that’s how they became successful in their transformation. So don’t give up!

#10. Have Patience – Results Don’t Happen Over Night

It takes time for weight loss to happen and there is no way around that. Remember how your friends used to make fun of you when you first told them you were going on a diet? They probably said something like, Oh, come on. Dieting is too hard. 

You won’t stick with it. If those people could see you now, they’d be amazed at how much weight loss success you’ve had in such a short amount of time! 

In fact, if they saw how far along you are right now, they’d probably think twice before ever making fun of anyone else trying to lose weight again. 

While some diets can be really hard and even unhealthy (cough Jenny Craig cough), others can have huge results in just weeks.
