subject: 10 Ways To Lose Weight Fast - And Keep It Off [print this page] Two thirds of US adults (20 years or more) are obese or overweight. You've heard it time and again: fad diets don't work for permanent weight loss. But what about those times when you really need to lose some weight fast? In fact, there are 7 of them. And they all look pretty simple!
Do you think you can manage them.
1. If you want to lose weight faster, you'll need to eat less and exercise more. Bottom line: 1,050 to 1,200 calories and one hour of exercise a day (but be sure not to dip below this calorie level for safety's sake). On this type of plan, you can expect to lose 3-5 pounds the first week, or more if you weigh over 250 pounds.
2. Start with breakfast. The more you eat for breakfast, the less food you will want to eat at night. Please, dont skip this meal as youll end up devouring everything in sight for the rest of the day. You dont need to gobble up 5 large meals, just 3 meals of a sensible size and 2 delicious yet low calorie snacks. Eat sensibly so your body doesnt crave for food. If you treat your body right it wont demand for more attention!
3. Don't be fooled by foods that are labeled as nonfat. Some are loaded with calories and can have hydrogenated vegetable oils and/or high fructose corn syrup, neither of which are healthy. Read your labels!
4. The hotel industry has changed the way we look at food. Today a regular burger can feed an elephant. Well, almost! Check your portions the next time you dine out. You dont need to finish every morsel. So, what you should do is ask your waiter to put half of your meal into a doggy bag before it even makes to the table. This way you will not be tempted and you will feel full eating less.
5. Keep healthy snacks handy such as raisins, popcorn, wheat crackers, and nuts. Refuse to buy store-bought baked goods or junk food. This is one of the best natural weight loss.
6. Increase your dietary protein by having a protein shake at least once a day. Protein will help your body facilitate weight loss and can be important to a good plan.
7. Get some good sleep. Sleep is vital to body rejuvenation and repair so make sure you get some good sleep and keep your timings consistent. Lack of sleep can contribute to lack of weight loss.
8. You dont have to fill up like a tub, but ensure that you drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Dont substitute for juice. Your body should always be hydrated. Your kidneys will thank you as it can easily flush out the waste. With adequate water intake your body will be able to metabolize fat more effectively. And if you have a glass of water 10-15 minutes prior to your meal, you will feel full once you start eating. Another fun fact, did you know that you can lose 62 calories by drinking ice cold water? But its better to drink it between meals or before meals, so that your food gets digested properly.
9. Eat lean meats such as boneless chicken and the leanest cuts of beef.
10. Get your free gym trial and see if its for you. Meet with a personal trainer and map out your plan for weight loss. These guys are the experts in helping you get a safe plan that meets your time schedules.
