How to Lose 30 Pounds in A Month: 30 Day Diet Plan for Fast Weight Loss By Jenny Hills, Nutritionist and Medical Writer Food & Nutrition Many people who need to lose a lot of weight in a short space of time want to know how to lose 30 pounds in a month. Why are you eating? Are you truly hungry or is it just that time of day? Or perhaps, there is just food around that looks good. Take a moment to think about what is driving you to eat at this particular moment and take note of any behavior that is not helping you move towards you goals. There is nothing wrong with eating when you're not hungry, or eating for pleasure, but make sure you are aware of why you are doing it and do your best to make it a positive experience free of guilt and any negative emotions.
Beware of Sugar: Your body processes carbohydrates differently than fats and proteins. Eating foods with a high glycemic index (those heavy in sugar and other quick-acting refined carbohydrates) will cause your blood sugar to quickly spike then crash, making you hungry again sooner. Whereas fats and proteins are processed slower and give you a sense of satiety which lasts longer. Calorie counting doesn't work for most people because it requires too much time, effort, and discipline. Eating vegetables and foods with a higher fat and protein content and less carbohydrates means you shouldn't need to count calories, as your body won't tell you that you are hungry when you don't need food. There are literally sugar candies in grocerie stores which are marketed using the label "a fat free food!" The "low fat" healty food marketing gimmicks came out of large agribusinesses creating demand for their frankenfood products.
What are the problems? Upon opening almost any magazine or watch a TV talk show, usually an article or individual has a presentation about what and what not to eat. Many will say to increase protein and reduce carbohydrates, while others will say the opposite; some say coffee is great, others warn about the dangers of caffeine in coffee. The lists of items can go on and on. Most articles present little or no data to back up their conclusions. In contrast, the book's authors present data to define problems with the U.S. diet (for example, too much animal-based protein and fat), then present how to address the problem and finally present evidence (yes, data again) how this stated problem can be effected by changes in the U.S. diet.
Think about this and try to resist eating as soon as you feel hungry. Feeling hungry is not bad or dangerous for you. Are you feeling physically hungry or are you just looking for food to fulfil an emotional hunger? If you do have a strong appetite, try to fill up at mealtimes with lots of leafy vegetables and fruit. These have a lot of fibre and bulk but are low in calories. There is also some evidence that foods containing a lot of protein, such as eggs and fish, may be best at making you feel full for longer.
