How To Lose Weight Fast
Want to lose weight fast for a HS reunion, a trip to the beach, or just for your own peace of mind? Lose weight too fast and you could harm your body. Fad diets, diet pills, extreme fasting and other fast weight loss methods may work but they can also cause you to lose muscle, counter productive to a long term weight loss program, and can cause damage to your heart and other internal organs. 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. Don’t cheat. Cheating on this only harms you. Then write down the calories in each of these foods and drinks. There are many sources such as http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov that can help with this.
Now that you know the calories you consume, start cutting. 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 easy cuts that don’t significantly change what you eat. Soda and juice, cake, cookies, butter, ditch them. Salad dressing is the largest source of calories on most dinner tables! Simply switching to water as a main drink is a big step in weight loss. Get rid of white bread, sugar and carbs. These can easily be replaced with sugar substitutes and whole grain breads.
What about that side dish? Take a look. This portion of the meal often contains more calories than the main course. Replace these items with healthy alternatives such as steamed vegetables, cottage cheese, or salad (minus dressing.)
Pumping iron increases lean muscle mass, which speeds up your metabolism. It’s a decent calorie burner, but will help you burn calories even when not exercising. Aerobic regimens are the key. Don’t pay attention to the 3-5 times a week school of thought on exercise. Find an activity you can sustain for seven days each week, forever..
There’s the plan to lose weight fast. Now get moving!
