Fast ways to lose weight are perhaps the most common weight-related requests that medical and physical fitness professionals get from the general public. Easting healthy has always been the number one goal for the individual who wishes to obtain and to remain at a healthy weight. Many times, this requires discipline, a change in diet, and an exercise routine which amounts to a complete lifestyle change.
1. The low carbohydrate diet has many names. The key to this diet is to limit carbohydrate consumption to zero carbohydrates for the first two weeks, gradually increasing to twenty carbohydrates per day for the following two weeks, till finally reaching a maximum of thirty carbohydrates per day from then on. For an individual to realize his or her own plateau weight, this diet must be adhered to from that day forward. If not, weight will return faster than it was lost because the body will have forgotten how to properly neutralize carbohydrates and how to utilize them for energy.
2. If these ingredients appear on the back of a nutrition label don't eat it. This will include partially hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, and enriched flour. If you have ever read the back of a nutrition label you will notice that these ingredients are almost in everything you may keep in your food cabinet.
3. Drink sugar free drinks. I use splenda to sweeten my green tea. Green tea also makes you lose weight. I make a gallon on the stove in a kettle by boiling 4 green tea bags until the tea turns dark as I want it. The point is to boil it. This purify the water and the tea. I also have a glass of diet coke first thing in the mornings as this gives me the caffeine that I need to get up and running. I always keep a bottle of water by my chair and on my desk so that I can drink it anytime without having to go get a glass of it, thus encourages me to drink more water. If I have to get up and go get a drink then I probably would not. If you drink coffee drink it plain without sugar or cream and do without the fancy coffees this will help your weight and save you money besides.
4. Control your portions. Why is it so easy to keep your dog's weight under control? Because you carefully measure how much food it eats each day! This doesn't work for humans, of course: no one wants to constantly weigh and measure their food. But a very simple way to control your own portion sizes is to use smaller plates. This is no joke -- smaller plates make for smaller meals, which means you'll lose weight.
5. Exercise is very important and can increase weight loss. If you exercise and lift weights on a regular basis then good for you. If you don't do much of this here are my recommendations. Try taking long walks. If you can walk after dinner that is a great option too. Try taking the steps instead of elevators when you can. But the main key is to engage in some activity every month.
6. The next thing is to get moving. I don't mean go to the gym unless that is your thing and you have the time. I just do what I want too. If it is working in the garden or the yard or going shopping and walking around the mall or just going to Walmart and walking around and doing my shopping, what ever you like. If you like it you will keep doing it and lose the weight without really trying.
7. A "fat-free" food product may be free of fat but may still be rich in calories. Don't fall for the advertisements, look closely at the nutritional content of the processed or packaged foods you buy and cut out the top offenders, replacing them with healthier fruits and vegetables whenever possible. Don't cut out the sweets entirely, but cutting back even a bit has positive and almost immediate effects on your waistline.
