When it comes to losing weight, some people will start by cutting things out of their diet in a bid to see results. However, actually eating more of one food group could help boost the metabolism and burn fat more quickly. Studies have shown following a specific diet plan and exercising more could help slimmer quickly lose up to ten pounds. The diet plan consists of eating foods low in carbs and high in protein and can show results in as little as a week.

To tone up, studies have shown cutting down on the amount of carbs slimmers eat will give them results fast.
Not only will this help slimmers lose weight, it will also improve health and reduce bloating, according to a study published on the US National Library of Medicine.
Rudy Mawer, MSc, told healthline.com: “People who go low-carb often see a difference on the scale as early as the next morning after starting the diet.”
This means ditching starchy carbs such as breads, pasta, rice, high sugar fruit and sugary treats.
Combining this diet with high protein foods can boost the metabolism which prompts the body to burn more fat.
The weight loss results can be seen when pairing low-carb foods with meals high in protein.
One study showed eating protein speeds up the metabolism and also reduces the appetite, meaning slimmers are less likely to opt for unhealthy snacks.
Rudy said: “Try eliminating or drastically reducing all starchy carbs and sugars for the week.
“Replace these with low-carb vegetables, while also increasing your intake of eggs, lean meats and fish.”
As well as shaking up the diet, those hoping to burn fat fast are more likely to reach their goals by exercising.
