subject: Concocting A Practical Program For Quick Weight Loss [print this page] It's hard to believe that quick weight loss is anything but a sham. We know what you're thinking; you've seen infomercials where people have lost hundreds of pounds in six weeks without changing their diets or exercising. Those people are lying to you. Either that or their diets are unhealthy because our bodies aren't meant to change that face. If you want to lose weight and keep it off you have to take in less calories than you burn while maintaining healthy eating habits. Here's how.
Depending on your sex, height, and current weight everyone burns a different amount of calories a day just by doing nothing. The first thing you have to learn when you're looking into weight loss is finding out how much you burn in an average day. How active are you, what kind of work do you do? All of these factor into your calories burned. Once you know how many calories you burn daily you know how many you need to take in and burn in addition. It's the first, basic step.
Knowing how much you burn in by calories is unbelievably important. Based on that number you can now find out if you are taking in more than you are burning. For a week or so take note of all the calories you eat. Write them down and average them out. Are you eating more than you are burning? That's how fat is made.
Even if you are it's never safe to simply remove huge amounts of calories from your diet. Your body needs some of that in order to keep you alive and well. Without them you will put yourself at risk of passing out, or illness. You should use exercise to offset your calories.
Fat burning exercises are different than other kinds. For muscle increasing exercises you would have to engage a certain kind of muscle and flex it repeatedly. For cardio exercises you have to keep your heart rate up so high. For fat burning exercises the main point is simply to move. Any kind of movement burns calories, from walking in place to whirling your arms around like a chicken for forty-five minutes. As long as you're moving you're pretty much helping your body to burn fat.
When seeking fat burning, don't shy away from the masterpiece that is the salad! Salads are a great way to get you full while packing it full of healthy foods. Stay away from creamy dressings and you can put just about anything (within reason!) on top of a salad and do yourself a huge favor. Don't like lettuce (remember there's more than one kind of lettuce)? Try spinach instead. If you don't like spinach either, try cabbage. There are so many different ways to make a salad!
Empty calories are the bane of the healthy diet. If you think that simply watching what you eat is going to be enough here you better think again! Take a look at the nutritional facts on that bottle. Sodas and pops are empty calories. They provide you with nothing by calories and sugars. Get rid of that major problem causer! Instead switch out your sugary juices and sodas with water. Water is the miracle elixir of diets. It keeps you hydrated and improves your digestive health. Green tea is also good.
