Lose Weight Fast

By J Hunter

Lose weight fast by the numbers may not have really occurred to you before. It is easier to want fast results and just think that your scale is off, but with some real diligence, fast weight loss can be achieved.

The first questions to answer is how much you weigh and how do you normally eat during one day. Weigh yourself in the morning before eating and dressing and enter that weight with the date in you notebook. Ask your doctor what a good weight is for your age and frame. Look on any chart on the Internet or a nutrition book to find out how many calories you need to consume. Your BMR or basal metabolism rate is found on an interactive chart which asks for your weight, gender, and age. Your rate is then calculating and you are given a number of calories that your body needs just to function.

With your notebook as your constant companion, choose a beginning page for some simple math. For example: You are a female age 34 and weigh 150 pounds You are 5'2". Look at several weight charts in books or on the Internet. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company published a basic chart in the late 1950's which was somewhat lower than some newer charts. Therefore, you could be anywhere from 109-136 pounds and that would depend on age and frame. You would therefore think that you would like to lose at least 14 pounds or just a little less than 10% of your weight.

If won't be fun at first to write down your food but soon you will see that you may be eating more calories than you originally thought. Be fair and honest with yourself and count the dressing on your salad, soda, juice, and any snacks you have consumed from the vending machine. These tend to add up so make sure you are counting them.

There is an unofficial way to find out how many calories you need to maintain your bodyweight. Usually you can use you bodyweight in pounds and multiply it by 12. For instance, 140 pound person would be 140 x 12 = 1680 calories. Generally, this would be the amount of calories it would take to maintain the current bodyweight.

Look at the BMR chart and jot down the number of calories that you need to maintain your body weight. Since you will to lose weight and not maintain this weight, start by subtracting a number that will make your total calories no lower than 1200. You must eat 1200 calories for your metabolism to function properly. Lower consumption interferes with metabolic rate. You probably see that this is a slow process when you limit calories only.

The best you can do will involve an increase in your activity level. It is just a matter of math and burning more calories than you need for maintenance. One half hour of walking will use 150 calories. Other activities are figured by the time you spend doing each kind. The more you burn calories, the faster you lose your unwanted weight.

SO by performing a few brief exercise workouts a week and cutting a few calories a day, we find that we can lose weight fast. Writing down the calories you consume will let you know what unecessary food you can cut out of your current eating plan. - 17274
