Have you lost weight, but gained it all back plus more? Have you ever beaten yourself up thinking I am going to be fat forever? Dietary advice is prolific and often confusing due to its many contradictions and contrary methods.

That is why burning into your mind dietary principles is a far better form of guidance, which ultimately will be the route to the fastest way to lose weight permanently. Here are just 3 lose weight principles for a starter:

Number 1

Squeeze half a fresh lemon into some hot water and drink it 30 minutes before breakfast - Why? It will clean out your liver and alkaline your bodily system. A clean liver equals a better functioning body. A better functioning body will automatically lose weight because its functioning optimally rather than being sluggish! Your body will also operate more efficiently in an alkaline state! Yes I know lemons are a citrus fruits, don't worry life is full of odd little truths!

Number 2

Protein gives you mental energy but starchy carbohydrates sends you to sleep! If you ever feel depressed what do you eat? A biscuit, a cookie,a piece of cake etc. All these are starchy carbohydrates - why do we by nature eat such stuff when depressed? Because starches convert into serotonin, the happy chemical of the brain, which helps us to alleviate the depression by calming us down
But there is a problem, starchy carbohydrates also get converted into fat and because we feel sleepy, we don't feel like working or moving, hence we put on weight.

 A better way to relieve depression is to exercise which will cause the brain to produce endorphins, which are natural pain killers and mood enhancers. Herbs such as Ginseng, Rhodiola and a B-Complex can help us to adapt when under stress. They are far better than eating excess carbohydrates and processed foods, which contain chemicals that excite the appetite even further! Hence herbs are a way to lose weight.

Number 3

Drink Green Tea with any meal which contains starchy carbohydrates. Why? Because Green Tea is a fat burner. If you do not like the taste of green tea, no problem, just put a squeeze of lemon into it, yes we are back to lemon again!
