Scientifically Proven Ways to Lose Weight

The internet is abuzz with weight loss tips touting everything from detox teas that promise to shed inches from your waistline, to negative calorie diets that cancel out calories simply by eating. It’s hard to sift through what’s nonsense and what is actual effective weight loss advice. Everybody is different. What works well for some people won’t necessarily be the best option for others. One thing remains consistent for everyone though, and that’s the simple weight loss equation: calories in < calories burned = fat loss. But it’s not always a simple equation to solve. There are many different methods to achieve weight loss, some that work better than others. Rather than waste your time trying them all, you’re better off attempting weight loss methods that have been scientifically proven to be effective. Read below for three science-based methods for fat loss.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the practice of becoming more aware of your thoughts and how they dictate your emotional response. Weight loss is after all, mainly determined by your mindset. You must change your thoughts and actions to reflect healthier habits that contribute to weight loss. If you believe that you cannot lose weight no matter what you do, then you won’t lose weight. Or if you believe the only way to handle stress is to gorge yourself with cheesy nachos topped with extra sour cream, the scale is not likely to budge. Weight loss requires self-discipline and a healthy mindset. One research study showed that participants who were told to practice mindfulness techniques successfully lost weight and kept it off for months after. Different forms of mindfulness techniques could include meditating, repeating positive affirmations, or simply making more of an effort to be more present in your daily life. Being mindful while you eat will likely have the most impact on your weight loss efforts. Slow down at mealtimes and pay attention to your body's natural hunger cues. Focus on how what you’re eating makes you feel and what it is doing for your body. Learning to have a healthy relationship with food is a major step in losing weight and keeping it off for good.

Ketogenic Diet

The ketogenic diet has become popular in recent years for producing Instagram worthy weight loss results. While you should never fully trust anything anyone on Instagram tells you, there is evidence to suggest that the ketogenic diet does work. The ketogenic diet consists of eating foods high in fat and protein and low to nearly no carbohydrates. The scientific reasoning for the ketogenic diet is what is known as ketosis. Ketosis is when your body starts turning fat into ketone molecules that provide energy for your brain. This happens when you have little to no carbs in your system that your body would normally use for energy. Instead, it turns to your fat cells for energy, thus reducing the fat stores in your body. One study found that those who participated in a ketogenic diet lost 2.2 times more fat than participants who were on a low calorie, low fat diet. Ketogenic diets are also beneficial for lowering insulin levels, which is helpful in managing blood sugar and insulin sensitivity. Adjusting to the ketogenic diet can be difficult at times. Should you try it, we recommend the Keto Pills from Hot Bod Nutrition that help to sustain your energy as you are entering ketosis. The all-natural ingredients in Keto Pills were formulated for specifically helping your body achieve and maintain a state of ketosis. They provide an extra boost for the already tough task of abstaining from all things carb related.

Strength Training

Exercise is an important component in any weight loss program. Working out benefits your health in numerous ways and can even help you live longer. When we exercise, we burn calories, or energy that is deposited in our fat cells, if not burned off as fuel for our bodily functions. While cardio exercise is often touted as the best calorie burning workout, strength training has lasting effects on our metabolism that help us maintain our weight loss in the long run. Strength training increases muscle mass. Muscle is metabolically active tissue that burns calories even when you’re at rest. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn daily, meaning the more fat you will be able to burn. Plus, strength training has a greater afterburn effect than cardio. Afterburn is the heightened effect on your metabolism that occurs after you stop exercising. You burn more calories post strength training workout than you do a cardio workout. While both forms of exercise are good for you, strength training may be more helpful for fat loss in the long run. Incorporate working more strength training into your exercise routine if you do not already do so. Working out for at least 30-minutes a day, three days a week is recommended for best results.
