What is the best diet to lose weight quickly?  A diet that is rich in fiber that incorporates fruits and vegetables with each meal will help you lose weight in a healthy way. Why? Because fruits and vegetables are high in nutrients and low in calories. The fiber in those fibrous carbs which are fruits and vegetables will make you fuller, tame your cravings and reduce your appetite.

One of the best ways to lose weight is balance in you how you eat and what that looks like is the following. This is what you should have on your breakfast, lunch, and dinner diet plan.

  • Protein Source- like chicken, turkey, fish, salmon, beef.
  • Fat Source- avocado, unsalted cashews, and almonds.
  • Vegetables- broccoli, spinach, asparagus, green beans, tomatoes, lettuce, brussels sprouts, cabbage.
  • Complex carbs- oatmeal, barley, beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes.
  • Whole Grains- whole wheat, millet, popcorn, quinoa.

Your foods should incorporate these macronutrients in a balanced way if you want to lose weight. And you need to make sure your daily calorie range is between 1,200 and 1,900 calories. Your daily calories that you should consume will be predicated on how much you weigh and what your physical activity level is.

Some good weight loss tips are:

  • Drink up to 8 glasses of water per day as that will suppress your appetite and make you eat loss food.
  • Focus on eating high fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables, nuts, and seeds with every meal.
  • Stay away from fast foods and processed foods which carry a high number of calories.
  • Minimize your alcohol intake as it is empty calories that are high.
  • Eating a high protein breakfast can help reduce cravings and calorie intake throughout the day.
  • Try to get up to 8 hours sleep because a lack of sleep can cause weight gain.
  • Limit sugary drinks and fruit drinks as this is also empty calories and it can negatively increase your daily calorie intake. And this can affect your weight loss goals.

How fast you can lose weight? The first week on any weight loss program you can lose up to 5 pounds in a week. And most of that weight is water weight and after 1st week each week should be about 1 to 2 pounds per week. According to the CDC, (Center Disease For Control) a healthy weight is 1 to 2 pounds per week.

One of the most important things to understand is you can’t achieve weight loss without having a caloric deficit. And being in that caloric deficit is burning more calories than you consume. You must move your body to burn calories. And the two forms of exercise are cardiovascular and weight-training.

The types of cardiovascular training you can do are swimming, walking, dancing, cycling, gardening, etc.

The types of strength training you can do are bodyweight training, dumbbell training, machine weights, resistance band training. By lifting weights, you can burn calories after the workout. By doing cardiovascular training you can burn calories during the workout.

The Bottom Line is the best healthy diet to lose weight is to focus on foods that are high in nutrients and low in calories. And these are foods such as fruits, vegetables, and protein foods. If you eat in a balanced way and incorporate proteins, healthy fats, and carbs. And make sure your calories are low enough that puts you in caloric deficit then you will lose weight.

A healthy weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds per week. If you lose weight too quickly you can lose muscle tissue which will slow up your metabolism.
