Wanna Lose Ten Pounds?
Photo by size8jeansIt doesn’t matter who you ask – in a church, at a college, or any company – you are bound to find out the bulk of most people need to lose ten pounds or more of stubborn fat. Some need to lose more, but a lot just can’t get over the hump and get rid of those pesky last pounds.
If this sounds like you – don’t worry! You CAN do it, with some simple tips and pointers, and taking action. There is no magic pill that is going to solve your problems overnight, so I recommend not wasting your time only to be let down. There are tried and true ways to lose that weight. But, you must reduce calories while increasing exercise. Stop overeating and get off your butt! It really is that simple.
Exercise helps burn the calories that you have recently consumed. To shed weight fast, join an intense cardiovascular fitness program. You will need to find some intensive cardio routines like running, cycling, swimming, rowing or hiking. Although walking each day will increase your exercise activity and assist you in losing weight, it’ll take much longer than the cardio aerobic activities. You want to get your heart pumping for at least 40 minutes a day.
To help you drop the weight faster, consider cutting down on your calories, too. If you drink soda, vitamin water, or other calorie charged drinks, cut those back or out totally. Each can of soda contain 2 hundred – 250 calories, so you can drastically lower your caloric intake if you are a regular soda drinker. Drink water instead.
To increase your weight loss, cut back on sugar as much as possible too. White sugar is completely nutritionally void – don’t use it! Opt for agave or raw honey instead. Candies, cakes, and sweets helped you get those extra ten pounds or more – they sure aren’t gonna help you lose them!
Be aware of what you eat. Try cutting back on salad dressing, which is rich in calories. Attempt to drink less alcohol. If you want a glass of wine, add some seltzer to it. This will not only lesson the amount of calories per serving, but the bubbles will make you’re feeling fuller. If you drink whole milk, trade the whole milk for skim milk.
Not only should you be mindful of what you eat, but how much you eat. Yankee portions are much bigger than needed. If you eat out at a restaurant, don’t finish your full plate. Typical restaurant portions are much larger than required. If you fix your own food, fix smaller amounts. Put less food on your plate. Eat that amount. Then wait at least 20 mins. If you’re still hungry, you can eat more . most of the time, you won’t be hungry after the twenty minute wait.
Studies have shown that if you take your time while you are eating, and are mindful about eating slower, you will actually consume less calories. You are giving your brain time to catch up to your stomach signally it is full – so slow down!
Increase your cardiovascular/aerobic activity, cut back on your calories, watch what you eat, and how fast, and you’ll be amazed at your results – because you can’t help but to lose weight when you do it right. Good luck! (Be sure to check out the links below for a great resource for recipes!)
