Losing 10 lbs. in 1 week is not always a healthy way of losing weight. Large weight loss is usually only possible with people who are substantially overweight. If you desire to lose a lot of weight in a really short period of time, opt for the following steps. But remember also, that any weight loss program requires a change in lifestyle and should be adopted for the long term.
Steps
- Cut-back on the sugar from your diet, along with simple carbohydrates, Trans fats and sodium. Focus on vegetables for your carbohydrates, such as spinach, broccoli and asparagus. If your diet was unhealthy before, then this change in nutrition will afford you fast weight loss, especially in the beginning.
- Eat 5 times a day. Have breakfast, a snack, lunch, a snack and dinner. Make sure that you cut back on your 3 regular meals in order to compensate for the additional snacks. Visit healthyweightforum.com and use their calorie calculator to learn how many calories you can consume in order to lose a certain amount of weight.
- Learn about portion control. By portion control standards, an adult should eat 3 oz. (90g) of protein, 1/2 cup (87.5g) of starch and 1 cup (175g) of vegetables. Eating any more than what your body needs will only increase your weight. Understand also that eating less than what your body needs will lead to an increase in weight. With correct portion control, there is no need to cut down on your favorite desserts or bad foods. You just need to know how much you can eat without putting on weight.
- Drink at least 8 8 oz. glasses of water a day, and you will notice that you are losing pounds fast. Add a glass before bed and one when you wake up, and drink a glass with each meal. Cleaning the body of daily toxins is one of the best ways of losing weight. This is why you should always carry a bottle of water with you daily and make a habit drinking from it often. The more you drink, the more you will want and the better you will feel. You will also feel full, and this will lead you to snack less. A hydrated body also has more energy.
- Add daily exercise to your routine. For faster weight loss, focus on cardio activities like swimming, cycling and kickboxing. These exercises will help you get the weight off fast. Recognize too that exercise must be a regular activity in your day if you want to continue to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Exercise also builds your energy and increases your metabolism, and both help make your weight loss endeavor more successful. Because exercise methods for losing weight are subjective and dependent upon your health, meet with your doctor to discuss the best exercise routine for your personal needs.
Tips
- Consult a doctor before incorporating any drastic changes in your lifestyle, especially when it comes to your diet. You doctor can help you determine the best and safest weight loss program for your needs.
- Focus on your objective every time you need motivation. You can lose weight, but it may take longer than the 1 week you are hoping for. If it does, don't let that discourage you. Every body is different, so pay attention to what yours needs and adhere to what will help you lose weight quickly but safely.
