How To Lose Weight Quickly And Eat A Lot

The title is not there only to draw attention: losing weight quickly and eating hefty portions of food is possible. How about losing 15 pounds in two months? Does it sound quick enough? Your three best allied for a quick and healthy weight loss will be: fibers, proteins, and water. They can all be found in voluminous foods, those that fill the heart, the plate and the stomach.
To lose weight quickly and eat without starving and feeling depressed, the food you eat has to be:

• Voluminous
• Tasty
• With a solid texture which requires a good chewing
• With a low-calorie content
• Rich in fibers and proteins, which means rich in water

Do such weight loss foods exist? Yes, they do, here’s the list:

• Fruit and vegetables, with high content of fibers
• Meat, seafood, eggs, tofu, skimmed yogurt, full of proteins
• Legumes, with both fibers and proteins

I will give an example of this ideal low-fat diet below. Let’s talk about breakfast, first course and dinner.

Breakfast. You  heard it countless times: breakfast is too an important meal to be skipped, as it reintegrates the energy levels that dropped during the night. There are many ways to do it, but the good ones are those with low-calorie and low-fat content.
This one below is an example of a high-calorie content breakfast, to be avoided if you want to lose weight quickly:

A cup of whole milk plus 10 rich tea biscuits will give you:

• 6. fl oz of water
• 0,05oz of fibres
• 0.3oz of proteins
• 379 calories.

On the contrary, one skimmed yogurt, a cup of strawberries, 2oz whole bread and a cup of tea will give you:

• 14 fl oz of water
• 0.05oz of fibres
• 0.36oz of proteins
• only 238 calories

As you can see, it’s not a “light” breakfast: there are a lot of fibers and water, it will fill you stomach, but the calorie content is lower. Where’s the trick?
•    Skimmed yogurt is more satiating than whole milk, but with less calories
•    Strawberries double the volume of yogurt, with even less calories
•    Whole bread has half the calories of biscuits
•    Hot tea is reinvigorating, with zero calories

Here is a good news: in spite of what some people say, pasta and rice are still one of the best ways to lose weight quickly. Don't listen to the weight loss tips that advise to get rid of pasta altogether. The trick is to substitute part of them with 10oz of vegetables. The vegetable garden is the limit here: zucchini, broccoli, eggplants, peppers, pumpkins…

Here below is an example of saffron risotto recipe, which is delicious, but should be avoided.
Ingredients:
• 3oz risotto rice
• 7fl oz beef stock
• 10z grated parmesan
• 1oz butter
• Half onion, chopped
• salt
• a pinch of saffron

Quick recipe: sauté the onion with half the butter, add the rice and stir. When it’s toasted, add a ladle of stock at the time, add the next one when it’s almost completely absorbed. When the rice is cooked, add the saffron, the rest of the butter and the parmesan. Give a good stir and serve.
This recipe gives 120g of water, 1g of fibres, 13g of proteins, and 560 calories in total.

What happens if we throw in a hefty portion of pumpkin, with less rice, leaving out other high calorie ingredients? Not only the risotto becomes more satiating and with less calories, but also the best way to lose weight quickly with a really delicious taste.
Here is the new recipe:
2oz risotto rice
10oz pumpkin, chopped
A whole onion
Grated parmesan
A teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil
Salt
A pinch of saffron

Sauté the onion with the olive oil, add the pumpkin, stir fry for few minutes, then lower the heat, add a little water, cover and let it stew until it’s cooked, then mash the pumpkin.
Boil the rice, drain it and add it to the pumpkin puree, together with the saffron and the parmesan. Give a good stir and serve.
This recipe gives 240g of water, 4.2g of fibres, 14g of proteins, and 360 calories in total.

Where’s the trick? Pumpkin adds volume, weight and taste. Water content has doubled and calories intake is 35% lower.

There is a very simple food trick to put together the benefits of proteins and fibers into a tasty dish: proteic salads. Put together at least 300g of vegetables with proteins coming from

• meat
• seafood
• eggs
• tofu
• yogurt
• ricotta cheese
• legumes

Proteins and fibers together create a perfectly balanced dish, also suitable for vegetarians. Besides, they mix together in a way that they dress one another, making olive oil (and its calories) almost superfluous.
This type of salad has a high satiating power and it will no longer be necessary to eat bread to compensate.
There you go, this is how to lose weight quickly..
