If you’re looking to lose weight quickly, there are some things you can do. However, it’s important to remember that it’s healthier to lose weight gradually – and you’ll be much more likely to keep the weight off when you do so a little at a time.
If you want to lose weight quickly, one of the things you’ll need to do is to reduce your caloric intake. Thankfully, it’s easier than you might think and there are lots of low calorie menus to choose from so you can eat very well while keeping your calorie count low.
Another element to add to this type of eating is to do it in five or six meals each day rather than just two or three. In other words rather than eating the standard breakfast, lunch and dinner you’ll need to eat a full breakfast and then add two smaller meals (healthy snacks) between the main meals.
What this does is keeps your body from becoming hungry, causing you too eat more (and quicker) at the other meals. Your body will also strive to store fat rather than burn it when you’re hungry.
By eating smaller meals throughout the day, you’ll encourage your body to use the calories you take in instead of storing it. This will also increase your metabolism and make it even easier to lose weight.
Exercising daily is another great way to lose weight quickly. Exercise both burns off fat and boosts your metabolism – and it gives you an increased level of energy which makes it even easier for you to be active and burn off more of those excess calories.
The kind of exercise you engage in does matter, but if you’re not getting any kind of exercise on a regular basis at the moment, then taking a daily walk is a good start. Taking a walk right before mealtime is the best idea; exercise naturally suppresses the appetite.
You should start off with at least half an hour of daily exercise; but if you really want to lose weight quickly, get in as much exercise as you possibly can. However, make sure not to overdo things. If you’re having trouble with physical activity, then consult with your physician before you start any exercise program.
Exercising to lose weight will include cardiovascular exercising which works the heart and also some weight resistance. Good cardio examples are the use of an elliptical machine or ski machine or even walking stairs. Do this for 45 minutes to an hour per day.
For weight training, you can use free weights or a weightlifting machine. However, if you don’t have any of this kind of equipment, then you can use simple weight resistance exercises like push-ups. If you find traditional pushups to be difficult, then you can also do this exercise against a wall instead of the floor.
Finally, make sure to drink plenty of water every single day.
