Looking to Lose Weight? Try One of These 4 Alternative Methods

For many people, the toughest thing about losing weight is they end up choosing a combination of methods thinking that something is bound to work in the long run. If you want to lose weight, it's about changing your lifestyle. So many people opt for some diet plans, but there are methods you can use to help you lose weight, as long as you give it the time it needs. Here are some of the methods you might like if you love meat!

The Carnivore Diet

Many people wonder what is carnivore; it is, very simply, just eating meat and meat-derived foods like eggs or tallow. The carnivore diet is a simple method to lose weight, not just because you are not consuming carbohydrates, but because you can streamline your life and make things easier. A lot of people don't like the idea of just eating meat, but if you think of food as fuel, this would be right up your street!

Paleo

This is another alternative eating plan that involves consuming items only available in the wild, or foods that were thought to be available during the caveman era. This is a very simple way to focus on your eating because you are not eating grains, dairy, or sugar, and avoiding unprocessed food in all of its forms.

The Warrior Diet

The Warrior Diet is a similar philosophy to intermittent fasting. The goal is to prevent you from overeating at dinner time. The warrior diet was created by Ori Hofmekler and focuses on having one meal a day and restricting your food for 20 hours per day. There are similar intermittent fasting protocols, such as 16/8 (where you eat within an 8-hour window), and this follows a very similar principle. However, it's important to make sure that you are eating enough to achieve your health goals.

The Ketogenic Diet

Keto is another popular approach that limits carbohydrates. As a general rule of thumb, the upper limits of your carb intake would be 50g per day and you should focus predominantly on high-quality fat and a little protein. There are many benefits to this type of diet, mainly because of the low carbs, but also the fact that you are feeling more satisfied after a meal. Eating more fat is going to make you feel fuller which is why lots of people have seen great results. Many people think that the keto diet is limited, but when you start to think about the variety of methods, whether it’s the variety of egg cup recipes or using spiralizers to create “zoodles,” you can certainly make keto a far more creative diet as you can eat a lot more than you would on a carnivore or a vegan diet.

When it comes to modern weight loss plans, there is a lot of information out there. With anything, it's important to make sure you do it safely and give it the time it needs to take effect. These are a few practices many people undertake, but if it doesn't feel right or you are concerned you are not eating enough (which is a very common concern), you need to decide whether it is doing you more harm than good.
