How to Lose Weight Faster, But Safely

Lose 5 pounds in one week! It’s a trope we see everywhere. And while it’s possible that someone can lose that much in that time period, it really depends on your metabolism and loads of other factors, including physical activity and body composition, all of which are entirely unique to you.

Weight loss ultimately comes back to the concept of calories in, calories out: Eat less than you burn and you’ll lose weight.

And while it’s possible to lose water weight quickly on a low-carb diet, I certainly wouldn’t advocate for it.

The diet itself can trick you into thinking that this eating style is working — when really, you might gain back what you lost as soon as you eat carbs again.

That can feel incredibly dispiriting if you want results that last longer than a week.

Based on my experience in nutrition counseling, most of us tend to snack on foods that aren’t nutrient-dense but are high in calories.

For example, skipping sugary beverages is often the easiest way to lose weight fasterYou don’t feel full from drinks — even the ones that do contain calories — so swapping those out for sparkling water or unsweetened tea and coffee is the best place to start.

Other major culprits often come in refined grains like cereals, chips, crackers, and cookies.

If you’re looking to speed up weight loss, I’d also encourage you to be mindful of the foods you eat that you don’t choose for yourself.

Think food pushers at work or your kids’ leftovers. Noticing where your extra calories actually come from is another step to making better choices in the short and long term.

In my experience, there are a few other tips that hold true for almost all of us across the board — and they’re concepts that we can put into practice beginning right now.

1. Eat more vegetables, all of the time.

It’s that simple, I promise! If you think about making any meal mostly veggies (at least 50% of anything that you’re having), you’re on the right track to better health and weight loss.
