Lose Weight Fast With Marisa Peer

Whether you’re hoping to get into your favourite dress before a friend’s wedding, or wanting to lose a few pounds before the summer, here are Marisa’s top tips to lose weight fast!

There are several things that will cause you to lose weight fast.

One of the most effective is DO NOT EAT LATE AT NIGHT. We forget that in our biology we are still cave people and cave people went to bed when it was dark and got up when it when it was light.

That means in the winter they were in bed at 4pm and in the summer they were still in bed by 9pm. As there was no electricity when it was dark they slept and now we have electricity we actually sleep less and eat more. Now we have electricity we can stay up until 1am, we might have dinner and then we have another snack later.

Your body really digests food very very badly in the evening and what it doesn’t digest it will always store as fat.

If you’re eating more food than you burn off you’re absolutely storing that as fat.

So try to have dinner as early as you can 6pm-7pm and of course that’s not feasible every night but even if you can do that three nights a week you are going to encourage your body to burn off fat.

So try say Monday-Wednesday have dinner really early at 6, 6.30pm and then don’t think at 11pm “I’m hungry now what can I eat?”

There’s no point eating before you go to bed – you’re not going to burn that food off, you’re going to store it as fat. Drink some hot tea or some fluids but eat dinner as early as you can three times a week as that will encourage you to keep weight off.

Secondly when you’re eating AT NIGHT DO NOT EAT CARBS. It takes the body a long, long time to break down carbs. They are a food that the body stores for energy. The body doesn’t take carbs and use them, it stores them for later, potentially causing weight loss. That’s why if you have a carbohydrate-heavy breakfast and you’re a manual worker you’ll burn them off.

It’s why runners pasta-load because that pasta is stored for later. If you’re eating carbohydrates late at night, there is no later, they simply get stored as fat.

If you have a dinner of protein and vegetables (and you can have a lot – you can have several pieces of chicken and a lot of green vegetables cooked in oil) you will burn it off.

So having dinner earlier and eating protein and vegetables will start to strip excess fat stores from your body.

Exercise is good too but you don’t have to go to the gym and do an hour and a half of aerobics. SKIPPING FOR TEN MINUTES in your house or rebounding (trampolining) is all good but the most effective thing is early dinner three times a week, preferably three nights in a row.

After lunch just have protein and vegetables. Have enough protein; steak, two portions of fish, two pieces of chicken, lots of green vegetables (as they’re less starch) just a little bit of exercise and if you do that you’ll absolutely lose weight fast and keep the weight off (individual results may vary).
