You have to wear that old dress or suit and now you have to lose weight? 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 make you 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?
Determine how many calories you consume, because burning more than you consume results in weight loss. Carry a small notebook for a week to write down everything you eat. That means everything, every morsel, every sample, every sip of water. Then write down the calories in each of these foods and drinks. There are many websites 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. Smaller portions will result in weight loss. And there are more cuts to make too. These include salad dressing, butter, sweets, and juice or soda. 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. End you consumption of white bread, sugar and carbs. These are easily replaced in your diet – try whole grain breads.
An easy place to target for calorie removal is the side dish. This part of the meal is often a minefield of bad food choices including French Fries, macaroni and cheese and potato salad. Replace these items with healthy alternatives such as steamed vegetables, cottage cheese, or salad (minus dressing.)
Pumping iron increases lean muscle mass, which increases your metabolism. That leads to burning more calories even when sitting still. Aerobic exercise is the best for calorie and fat burning. Many experts say to enjoy aerobic activity for 30 minutes a day 3-5 days a week. Hog wash! Find an activity you can sustain for seven days each week, forever..
You have your orders. Get it in gear!
