How to Lose Weight Fast

By Jose Hunter

We all think we can lose those stubborn 10 or 20 pounds very quickly if we just starve ourselves for a few days. Even though it has taken years to put on the weight, you want it off now. We must be realistic about the time we need to do it in a healthy way. If you approach weight loss the right way, not only are you going to lose weight fast, you will keep it off.

One of things you have to figure out is what your weight goals are. Write down what you weigh and how much weight you realistically want to lose. After that, you have to figure out how many calories you are taking in during the average day. Sometimes we think that we have a grasp on what amount of food we take in every day but I suggest writing these down so you can keep track of the numbers.

You must be consistent and write down all the food you are consuming. This notebook will be your record so that at some point, you can go back and modify the amount of calories youre eating if you have to. You don't want to go overboard with the amount of weight to lose. Keep an obtainable goal at first such as losing 10 pounds in 10 weeks. What this will do is setup the baby steps approach so that we don't get easily frustrated.

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.

Check out the BMR chart and find that for your current weight you need to maintain with 1427.3 calories per day. That's what it takes for you to support life and normal breathing and sleeping activities plus moderate movements.

By knowing this number, you can subtract for example, 250 calories a day and lose half pound a week. This is only if you just cut out a few hundred calories a day. Remember that a pound has 3500 calories and that's why it's only half pound.

If you increase your activity to include walking or jogging, you will burn more calories. By burning 500 calories per workout, 5 days a week, that's another 2500 calories. This totals 4250 calories off per week. That's an easy way to lose weight fast.

When you don't take all the numbers into account, you lose track of knowing what you ate that you didn't burn and you can determine how many calories you sent to fat storage. This is not a pleasant thought, so burn what you consume. - 17274
