Nutrition Secrets To Know And Implement Immediately

When it comes to shedding weight quickly, there is no way around it, diet is whats going to get you the best results.

While exercise is going to be very helpful and key as well and should be done regularly, if you arent following a good diet plan, you arent going to see the results youre after.

There are five guiding principles you need to be using throughout the course of the next 15 days.

Lets walk you through what these are.

Eat Five Times Per Day

The first must- do if youre going to shed weight quickly is to eat regularly throughout the day.

Now, this might sound backwards to what you normally would do. On most rapid fat loss plans, youd eat three times per day if youre lucky.

Not with this plan. With this plan, you want to eat five times per day to help better control your hunger, to help keep your metabolism high, and to help provide a steady stream of nutrients to the body so that it doesnt start burning up lean muscle mass tissue.

This is exactly what you do not want to happen.

You should eat breakfast, mid-morning, at lunch, mid-afternoon, and then again at dinner. In the evening, if you feel like you need something extra, sip a cup of hot tea (without sugar).

This will help fill you up and prevent you from taking in extra calories that you just dont need.

Focus On Lean Protein

Next, you also need to be focusing on lean protein as you go about this diet. Protein rich foods are the ones that will best help you speed up your metabolic rate (so you can burn fat all day long), preserve your lean muscle mass so that you arent going to suffer from a slow metabolism once youre off the diet (and lose more muscle mass than fat mass), and help to keep hunger as low as possible.

Protein rich foods are the most filling types of foods you can eat, so they are an absolute must to help you make it through this diet plan.

Which lean protein foods should you be eating? Here is your list. Stick to these for the coming 15 days and you will be on track. Remember that one serving size is about 3-4 oz. or the size of your palm. Eat this five times per day with each snack and meal.

Chicken breast

White turkey breast

Venison/bison/very lean beef

Egg whites

White fish

Seafood

Fat free Greek yogurt (3/4 cup)

Whey protein powder (1 scoop)

While this may seem slightly boring, remember that it is only for two weeks. Once youre finished with the plan and have lost your weight, then you can add a bit more variety back to your diet again.

Fill Your Plate With Vegetables

Next, along with your lean proteins, also make sure that you eat as many vegetables as possible.

Vegetables are essentially a dieters best friend. They are:

High in fiber

High in nutrients

High in antioxidants

Very low in calories

Very filling

This is basically all the key things that you need to be successful at fat loss. As long as vegetables are prepared without any additional fat or high calorie condiments, the more you can eat, the better.

Its a win-win as far as your diet is concerned.

Stay Very Well Hydrated

Next up on the list of must-dos if you want to be successful with shedding weight quickly is to stay very well hydrated.

The more fluid you take in, the better your body will be able to wash away any toxins that have built-up and be able to enhance the fat burning process.

Drinking water will help to rid the built up fat thats being excreted from the cells out of the body, so it helps with that purpose as well.

Finally, water will help keep your hunger level down lower as well, which is always a good thing when on a more strict diet.

If you get bored of straight water, add a slice of lemon, lime, or even consider adding a few slices of grapefruit or orange to really enhance the flavor.

Add Metabolic Enhancers

Finally, the last thing that you can do to boost the rate of fat loss you see is to consume metabolic enhancers. These are certain things that will spike your metabolic rate even more than normal, allowing you to maximize your calorie burn each and every day.

The best metabolic enhancers to include in your plan as much as possible are:

Cayenne pepper

Red hot chili peppers

Green tea

Fish oil (3-6 caps per day)

Use these and you will get faster and better results.

So there you have the main points to remember on the diet side of things. If you can implement these, its only a matter of days before you are going to see noticeable changes taking place in your body.

Now lets look at the workout side of things.

Exercising To Lose 15 Pounds In 15 Days

Because of the fact the diet is so intense on this plan, you arent going to be doing a very intense workout program.

The body can only handle so much stress at a time and if youre doing very intense workouts coupled with very intense dieting, you are on a fast road to trouble.

Instead your workouts will be short and sweet.

Their objective is to spike your metabolic rate so that you burn up calories all day long, as well as help you maintain lean muscle mass tissue.

This is going to involve you performing 2 weight lifting workouts per week along with an additional 2 interval cardio training sessions per week, for a total of four workouts overall.

Then the other three days of the week are going to be devoted to rest and recovery.

Weight Lifting

For your weight lifting workout, youll be doing a full body approach, so youll hit each and every muscle group in the body at once, and youll be using primary compound exercises so that you are able to work as many muscle groups at once as possible.

This will provide a stronger metabolic rate increase, it will help to get you in and out of the gym faster, and it will help you maintain your muscle mass tissue better since youll be able to lift more weight overall.
