Lose Weight Fast

By Jose 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.

Fast is a strange term. It means moving rapidly along a path that leads to somewhere, not an immediate arrival, but steady and sure. Immediate and unrestricted weight loss can harm your health. Go ahead cautiously and rapidly.

Begin at the beginning. Ask yourself the important questions and use a journal to keep track of your answers and future progress. On day one, enter your morning weight (before dressing or taking your breakfast) and your height. By checking one of the many BMR (basal metabolism rate) charts you will be able to determine how many calories your body needs to maintain. Of course, you will not want to maintain, but to lose weight. Ask your doctor what he thinks of your plan and how he may be able to give you some tips.

Everyone forgets the little nibbles or taste tests that take place every day. That little extra pat of butter on a small piece of bread consumed as we wait for the grilled cheese to brown or that extra mayo on the sandwich just escapes your memory. Discipline yourself to keep an accurate account of every morsel. All those calories count and must be put in your journal. Silly? Not really, because you are doing fast weight loss by the numbers and every calorie counts.

There is an unofficial way to find out how many calories you need to maintain your bodyweight. Usually you can use your 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.

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.

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 unnecessary food you can cut out of your current eating plan. - 17274
