5 Tips to Fast Weight Loss
Fast weight loss is much easier than most people think. In fact, losing weight fast is probably the easy part. Keeping the weight off is much more difficult. It’s best to lose the weight slowly over time, but if you want to lose weight fast, here’s how to do it.
In order to lose weight fast, nutrients, calories, calorie expenditure and fluid intake all must be manipulated.
1. Don’t eat more than 50g of carbohydrates per day. This one tip alone will drop the weight off in no time. Have your carbs in the morning or right before and after your workout. Stick to fruits and vegetables as your main source of carbohydrates.
2. Flush your body with lots of water. Women sometimes mistakenly believe that drinking water will cause water bloat. In reality the opposite is true. When you limit water intake the body tries to hold onto it. That’s because our body′s main function is to keep you alive. Drink up to 2 gallons of water a day and you’ll flush out the excess water.
3. Increase protein intake. Study after study shows that eating a higher ratio of protein to carbs helps the body lose bodyfat easier. Protein will boost the metabolism and increases satiety. Protein should be eaten at every meal.
4. Do weight training. Weight training builds muscle and the more muscle you have the more fat you’ll be able to burn. Extra muscle gives you a huge metabolic boost. Bodybuilders may be the most efficient at burning fat. That’s because they carry a lot of muscle tissue. Unfortunately many women believe that training with weights will cause them to look like women bodybuilders.
That is simply not the case. Don’t be afraid to lift heavier weights. Do reps anywhere in the 5 -12 rep range. Weight training will not only help you lose fat fast, but you’ll have a much toner and fit body to boot.
5. Do high intensity interval training (HIIT). Have you ever seen a fat speed skater or sprinter? Probably not. Compare the physiques of sprinters versus marathon runners. Notice how much more muscular sprinters are. Although marathon runners look skinny, often times they carry around double digit body fat percentages.
The difference is in the way they train. Marathon runners train for the most part at a steady pace, where as sprinters run at near maximum effort for short intervals. This type of training has been proven to burn much more fat than steady state cardio. Here’s how to do it: Pick your favorite aerobic machine. After warming up, exert 80-90 percent of your maximum effort for 30 seconds. Rest for 30 - 60 seconds and repeat 8 -10 times. That’s it. Do this twice a week and you’ll be a fat burning machine.
Give these 5 tips a try and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much weight you can lose.
