You’re looking for a quick weight loss diet plan, and I have one for you. It can help you lose weight quickly, but it’s not a long term solution, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to keep a diet up forever. For long term weight loss and keeping it off forever that requires a complete life style change. But if you need to drop those pounds fast, and understand that the weight you drop now will not stay off forever if you go back to previous habits after losing it, then by all means let me teach you how using a quick weight loss diet plan. I won’t go over exercises in this article, but keep in mind that exercising is a critical component to losing weight, both short term and long term, even if it’s only for 10 or 15 minutes a day.

The foods you want to stay away from in a quick weight loss diet plan are breads, including bagels, tortillas, toast, english muffins and dinner rolls among other bread based products. Stay away from sugar foods like cookies, donuts, cakes, ice cream, chocolate and candy bars. High starch and high carb foods like potatoes. Stay away from potatoes! This goes for potato based products such as french fries and hash browns. And on a side note, I suggest eating only red potatoes ever, they are much easier for your digestive system to digest. Fried foods are your enemy, don’t do it.

For all the foods that you can’t eat, there are many more that you can still eat in a quick weight loss diet plan. And you can eat as much of them as you want. Raw nuts are a great thing to eat, especially almonds. They provide a great source of protein and omega-3′s. Avocados, eat those avocados. They help with weight loss by promoting a hormone that burns fat, they are amazing. Fresh berries such as raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries. Blueberries are the best, they contain amazing amounts of anti-oxidants. Vegetables. Didn’t your mother tell you to eat all your vegetables growing up? If you didn’t then, do it now. They will help you with regularity which in turn will keep your system moving along and burn that fat. Fish especially salmon, tuna and sardines. Your body needs a healthy amount of Omega 3′s and there is no better source than fish.

In a quick weight loss diet plan, by cutting down on carbs you put your body into a state of ketosis. Essentially ketosis is when your body starts burning your fat as energy instead of the carbs and calories that you’re intaking. When your body is expecting carbs for energy and there are none, it needs to burn something, so it burns your fat. How convenient. So cut down those carbs. Which you will be doing anyway by staying away from breads and potatoes.

If you heed these words of advice, eat what I said you can eat and stay away from the ones you can’t, you will notice results in a few weeks. This is not a list of all foods you can and can’t eat, but simply an overview of the best and worst foods to consume in a quick weight loss diet plan.
