How many pounds do you want to use during your weight-loss program? Many of us like round numbers, so how about 10 pounds? Even if your goal is to lose more than 10 pounds, it's a good starting point. Here are some helpful tips for losing 10 pounds as fast as possible:
1. Drink water
We've all heard it before: we need to drink 6-8 glasses of water daily. In fact, one option is to drink water exclusively throughout the day. Water provides the body with several health benefits. Regarding weight-loss in particular, it removes toxins from the body, helps the body to break down fat, and provides a way that that fat can exit your body.
You should definitely minimize or eliminate your intake of sugary beverages. That includes sodas, sports drinks, and sweetened fruit juices. Forget about alcohol. If you absolutely, positively must drink coffee-drink it black without cream and sugar.
2. Exercise before eating breakfast
OK, technically you shouldn't do your workout as soon as your feet hit the ground. But if you want to burn 10 pounds quickly, then you should consider doing a workout before you eat breakfast. When your body realizes that it can't get its energy from food, it will dig down deep into your fat reserves. When your body starts burning fat for its energy, you'll transform your body into a weight-loss machine.
3. Do cardio at least five days weekly
Statistics show that an exercise program that combines weight-resistance training and high-intensity cardio will provide optimum results. Make sure to do your cardio at least five times a week, to keep your metabolism high.
4. Eat less and eat more often
Instead of eating three huge meals during the day, try eating 5-6 smaller meals every three hours or so. While it's OK to have an occasional "cheat" food, meal, or day, the vast majority of your food should be full of nutrients. Ideally, your meals should consist of organic foods. But if the cost or availability of organic foods is a problem, some viable alternatives include natural foods and raw foods. Eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day will keep your stomach full and your blood sugar high enough.
5. Eat the right breakfast
Dairy products and fruits are both simple carbohydrate foods that your body will quickly turn into sugars that it can use for energy. Have you ever wondered how breakfast got its name? It's the meal that "breaks" your "fast" since your fell asleep. Some health experts even recommend that people exclusively eat fruit before lunchtime. Other foods that can jump-start your day include whole grains, such as whole wheat bread, whole-wheat pancakes, and oatmeal. Avoid traditional Western breakfasts that are full of fat, sugar, and, and salt.
6. Take a walk and take the stairs
Workouts don't have to be in the gym, per se. Throughout the day, you can take some simple steps in order to burn ten pounds faster. Walk or bike to work or school. Take stairs instead of elevators and escalators. Take a 10-15 minute stroll after eating each meal.
