เขาหล่อมาก เเละ How to Lose Weight Fast - 7 Essential Tips You Must Know
By Jackie Summers
Who wouldn't like to lose weight fast?
Whether you want to shed some pounds for an upcoming high school reunion or just to look good for that upcoming summer beach vacation that you planned, you want quick weight loss results...now!
However, losing too much weight too rapidly may not be healthy or good for your body. Granted, things like diet pills, fad diets or starvation diets may enable you to shed those pounds rapidly, but you have to know that these methods of weight loss can actually harm your heart (not good) and your other internal organs (even worse) as well.
As such, try not to lose too much weight too quickly. Rather, follow these practical guidelines and you'll be able to lose weight safely, naturally and as fast as possible:
1) Write Down Everything You Eat
To lose weight, you have to expend more calories than you consume. To achieve this "calorie deficit", you either have to start consuming less calories or you'll have to start getting some exercise to burn more calories. Of course, it will be best if you can do both.
Coming back to the point, writing down whatever you're eating makes it easier for you to track the total number of calories you're consuming a day, which in turn enables you to decide which foods you can eat less of or even avoid completely.
Remember to include the little things like the amount of butter you're spreading on your morning toast, the spoonfuls of sugar in your coffee, the salad dressing on your salad...etc.
You can do this by reading the food labels or looking up the many websites available nowadays which can easily show you the calorie counts of different foods.
2) Run Through Your List
Have a glance at your list and see what foods can be eliminated or reduced.
For example, if you drink a tall, full cream latte for breakfast every morning, you can consider switching to a hot cup of black coffee instead. Doing so may save you 500 calories every day, and over a week, that adds up to about 3,500 calories, which is equivalent to losing a pound a week.
Or maybe it's the soda pop that you're drinking, or that afternoon candy bar. Or maybe it's just that you're a carb person and eat too much of refined carbs like bread, pasta or rice.
All these foods are high in sugar (or in the case of the refined carbs, easily converted to sugar) and reducing them in your diet will help you to lose weight much faster.
Instead, try and eat more lean meat and protein like grilled chicken or fish. Fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel or albacore tuna are excellent as not only are they high in protein, they are also rich in antioxidants and Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Try and eat fish at least twice a week.
As mentioned, reduce the number of refined carbs you're eating - instead of a side of fries, pasta, rice or potatoes, try having a fresh garden salad with reduced or no-calorie dressing instead.
3) Plan Your Meals And Eat Frequently Throughout The Day
After knowing which foods you have to eat (or avoid) to lose weight, you have to start planning your meals and preparing them in advance.
This helps in two ways - firstly, you will be able to buy exactly what you need at the supermarket without being tempted to buy foods that are unhealthy; and secondly, you will not be tempted to eat a 'sinful' meal like a double cheeseburger with extra fries if you already have your meals planned and prepared in advance.
Try to eat about 5 to 6 small meals a day, spread throughout the day. Three of these meals can be main meals consisting of lean protein like chicken, fish or eggs and a fresh salad or vegetables. The remaining meals can be snacks like a cup of natural yogurt with fresh fruit or a handful of almonds.
The reason for eating frequently is because the process of digesting solid food is actually thermogenic and will cause your metabolic rate to increase.
4) Drink Plenty Of Water
Drinking enough water is essential to both good health and weight loss and chances are, you're not drinking enough of it. Besides, if your body is dehydrated, it will start retaining water and usually in the most unflattering of places! Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, more if you're physically active.
5) Get Some Exercise
Although there's no doubting the importance of a solid and nutritious diet for fast weight loss, you'll have to get some exercise as well for quicker weight loss.
However, make sure that your workout is intense enough or you're just wasting your time.
Try and incorporate cardio and resistance training utilizing the HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) principles.
A HIIT style workout not only burns calories during your workout but importantly, also causes your metabolism to be revving high even hours after your workout.
Resistance training is also important (whether you're a male or female) as building lean muscle on your body causes your resting metabolic rate to
increase.
Studies have shown that consistent weight training can cause a person's metabolic rate to increase by almost 15%! This means without doing anything else, an average person can burn an extra 200 - 300 calories a day at rest just by adding lean muscle mass onto their frame.
Ladies, don't worry that resistance training and/or muscle building will make you look bulkier though. Don't be fooled by pictures you see on the covers of bodybuilding magazines as those professional bodybuilders are at the top of the gene pool when it comes to building muscle or they are pumped full of anabolic steroids anyway.
In fact, building lean muscle makes you look more streamlined and lean as muscle takes up less space than fat.
6) Get Enough Rest Between Workouts
Make sure you get enough rest between your resistance training workouts. You have to understand that muscles only rebuild themselves and get stronger only while you are at rest, so try to get at least a day's rest between your workouts.
Also, make sure you get enough sleep at night as well. Not getting enough sleep may also impede your ability to burn fat.
7) Be Patient, Disciplined And Consistent!
Be patient! You didn't put on that excess weight in a day so you'll have to be realistic and realize that weight loss will not happen overnight as well.
Be disciplined in your approach to weight loss and that means consistently sticking to your diet and exercise plan no matter what. No excuses!
So there you have it, if you follow the 7 essential tips above, I'm sure you will start losing weight fast and be on your way to your weight loss goals sooner than you think!
