Lose Weight Fast
You have to wear that old dress or suit and now you have to lose weight? While there are many ways to shed weight quickly, losing it too fast can be a shock to your body and thus a danger. A loss of muscle tone or even heart disease and issues with other internal organs can result from fad diets, miracle pills and extreme fasting. Remember Fen-Fen?
Since losing weight is simply expending more calories than you take in, figure out exactly what you take in. Carry a small notebook for a week to record everything you eat. That means everything, every morsel, every sample, every sip of water. Then write down the calories in each of these foods and drinks. There are many websites such as http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov that can help with this.
Once you have a list of all the calories you consume, look for ways to ditch them. This can be as simple as cutting down on portion sizes. Portion sizes are generally too large both at home and in restaurants. There are a lot of other no brainer cuts that don’t significantly change what you eat. Soda and juice, cake, cookies, butter, drop them. The average American consumes 240 calories a day from juice and soda. That’s 90,000 calories a year ‘25 pounds! Simply switching to water as a main drink is a big step in weight loss. Also note that empty calories such as sugars and white breads (carbohydrates) are the first things to cut. These are easily replaced in your diet’ try whole grain breads.
What about that side dish? Take a look. This portion of the meal often contains more calories than the main course. Make a switch to healthy foods, or cut out the sides completely.
Build up some muscle to increase muscle mass and metabolism. That leads to burning more calories even when sitting still. Aerobic exercise is the best for calorie and fat burning. Many experts say to enjoy aerobic activity for 30 minutes a day 3-5 days a week. Hog wash! Find an activity you can sustain for seven days each week, forever..
