With the rise of different diets' popularity nowadays, you're left to think and select on what's the most effective among them. It varies on every person actually, like if this person lost weight because he/she followed this popular diet, it doesn't mean it will work for you. In some cases you'll hear someone talk about losing weight because of eating less or skipping meals, well, I don't recommend it as it will cause you to eat more once you start to crave in. When you stressed out because of your restrictions, cravings to eat more kicks in and it's not going to be good. By continuing your crash diet, it will have a great effect towards your body as you'll have shortage of nutrients, creating an imbalance that may lead to some serious illnesses in the future. You'll also start to burn muscle tissues and slows down your metabolism, which may give fat the advantage to infiltrate the territory. Eat more nutrient-dense food to keep you full all day and fill out empty calories. Eat sensible, eat a balance meal. If you want to lose weight and burn those fats, here are some ways to help you.

1. Sleep 7 or longer hours. Studies show that people who sleep for only 5 hours or less are likely to gain more weight because it creates imbalance in the hormones. They also get more stress and visceral fat.
2. Eat more protein. Eating high protein foods like eggs, broccoli, chicken, etc. helps in muscle recovery and maintains lean muscle. Keep 30% protein in your diet as too much may lead to kidney strain.
3. Do resistance training. Try lifting free weights, pump up the iron, do heavy and light sets. Or try calisthenics, using only your body weight to increase strength and flexibility.
4. Drink water. Water keeps you hydrated and studies show that by drinking at least 8 cups of water, it can raise metabolism and shed some pounds without extra effort.
5. Eat vegetables, ideally, go for organic ones. Vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber so you can go full without getting to worry about incoming fats.
6. Rev up your morning by eating breakfast. Don't skip this as it is an important part of your meal plan. It jump starts your metabolism throughout the day so having a hearty breakfast is better.
7. Try other sports. Doing the same activity over and over, our body adapts to it thus reaching a plateau and in essence, burns less calories. If you're used to walk always, try jogging or biking. Your body will get a shock with some varied new activities which in turn, up your metabolism and burn those calories more.
8. Go for fish. People who include fish in their diet tend to have lower levels of leptin, a hormone that when it gets higher, metabolism becomes lower, therefore is prone to obesity. Fish is also rich in Omega3, which can lower elevated triglyceride levels.
9. Coffee or tea. Caffeine can accelerate your metabolism which can burn more calories.
10. Go citrus. Fruits like oranges, lemons and tangerines are rich in vitamin C which increases your metabolism and help you to burn fats efficiently.
