The desire for quick weight loss is common and is easy to achieve.
Lose 1 pound overnight? Lose 2 pounds by next Tuesday? No problem to
do it .... however you must realize that you are not losing fat but
water; your waist will not measure 1 inch less and your thighs will
not be leaner.
To have a weight loss that is both noticeable and lasting you need to
make changes to both your diet and your lifestyle. A quick weight
loss should be thought of in terms of one pound per week, not per day.
It is not hard! Many people desiring that quick weight loss love junk
foods! You love KFC? Fine, you do not need to eliminate it to lose
weight!
There is a proven, simple method for quick weight loss - eat in
moderation. Do not over indulge. For example, when you go to KFC for
that 3-piece pack with chips and a carbonated soft drink, order the
2-piece pack with chips and iced water and then eat the meal very
slowly and drink the cold water. You will be surprised that two
pieces is in fact just as satisfying as three and you have reduced
your calorie intake by approximately 50%! When you get home have some
more iced water (it is an appetite suppressant). Still hungry? Have 3
dry crackers .... eat 1 and then ask yourself "can I delay eating the
other 2 for half an hour?". This is changing your eating habits
without eliminating any of the things in your diet that your body
craves. By eating in moderation (that is, cutting back on those
undesirable weight-producing foods) you will quickly see a weight
loss and this alone will provide you with the incentive to reduce
your intake of those foods!
Go to a private place (bedroom) and remove your clothes and grip in
your hands that spare tire you are carrying. Hold it. It is called
fat, as you know, and the only way you will get rid of that is to
stop / reduce the quantity you are presently eating in order for your
body to turn inwards and start 'eating' some of that stored fat you
are holding. It is not hard to do but it does require you to made a
concerted effort to reduce that calorie intake. That's the main thing
you need to do. No, I am not talking about "counting calories", but
simply calorie intake reduction.
If you can add exercise to your daily routine you will surely move
towards that quick weight loss solution much faster. No, you do not
need to join the gym or an exercise class, nor do you need to spend
money on weight loss cd's or any other program. Simply turn some
music on and dance, at whatever pace suits you; jog on the spot for a
few minutes, walk around the room a few times getting faster with
each revolution, then slow right down, just walking forward and
backwards ... simple light exercise sustained over a period of 20
minutes and repeated every day and your quick weight loss goal will
be achieved before you realize it. Drink lots of iced water as you
exercise, which will make the exercising more pleasant as well as
serving as an appetite suppressant.
A quick weight loss of one pound per week does not sound worth making
the effort for, but project yourself to 6 months ahead and you will
have lost 24 pounds - now does that sound like something worth aiming
for?
Thousands have done it before you and you can do it too!
One last point: during the process of losing weight, once a personal
goal has been reached (e.g. a loss of 5 pounds) give yourself a
treat! Maybe a new pair of shoes or a night at the movies. You've
earned it!
