Extra weight is a big concern and everyone should watch it but also avoid risky diets. Here are some weight loss guides for safe weight loss. Start your morning with a cup of unsweetened green tea and you might just find yourself meeting your weight loss goals in record time. Research published in 2009 in the International Journal of Obesity found that the combination of caffeine and epigallocatechin gallate—an antioxidant abundant in tea—had a positive influence on both weight loss and weight maintenance.
If you want to lose weight fast, then one of the easiest things you can do is make a meal schedule for yourself and stick with it. “When people stick to a meal pattern, they rarely overeat,” explains Julie Upton, MS, RD, co-founder of Appetite for Health. “Stick to eating three meals a day and two snacks. Don’t graze all day and don’t skip meals.”
“Being accountable to yourself goes hand in hand with support from friends and family,” says personal trainer and physique coach Phil Graham. “Accountability comes in many forms – it could be just a promise to yourself or telling the whole world via social media – but it’s essential for keeping you motivated when the going gets tough. And a support network is also crucial for times when things go wrong and you need to get back on track. Even better, find someone who has been there and done it themselves because their advice and insight can be invaluable.”
“Nutrient absorption through the gut is the key to successful fat loss,” says Matt Warner, head of personal training at Ultimate Performance Manchester. “Inflammation of the gut lining can prevent absorbing nutrients, which can make you more hungry and knock your hormones out of whack, encouraging fat storage. Avoid foods that you’ve found to cause gut discomfort and eat more fibre (veg) and omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin D3 (oily fish), as well as taking a high-quality probiotic to replenish your gut with good bacteria.”
April Storie told INSIDER that, as an Army veteran, physical fitness has always been a part of her life. But in December 2016, her dad died, and her grief was unexpected, immense, and exhaustive, and it led to poor food choices and lack of physical activity.

After 10 months, Storie is down 26 pounds and has her sights set on returning to running 5K races.
While getting inadequate sleep can certainly derail your weight loss success, so too can sleeping in until noon. Research published in the journal Obesity in 2011 found that late sleepers added 248 calories to their daily meal plan as compared to early risers, despite the fact that they were awake for a shorter amount of time. Worse yet, they ate double the amount of fast food and fewer vegetables than those who got up early.
For the second year in a row, this olive oil-rich diet has topped the list thanks to its heavy reliance on fresh veg, whole grains and healthy fats. It’s low in refined sugar, red meat and processed foods which is why it’s been linked to lowering risks of cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure. It also may improve kidney function and gut health.
