How many times have you purchased a diet program or a diet pill that promised you will "Get Trim Fast" or have the pounds melting off of you in a matter of weeks? We've all done it; boy I sure have. But after sinking our hard earned money into these schemes, we soon discover we can't keep with it, so we give up -- and most likely end up in worse shape than when you started! You want to look your best, that's why you are here reading this article; and you know the health benefits of being trim and losing weight are so beneficial to a healthy lifestyle -- it's common sense. But then why are roughly 65% of American's overweight? The diet plans out there, most of them anyway, simply don't work. The good news is, you really can get trim fast, and enjoy that rapid weight loss that will make heads turn in no time!
As you should with any weight loss program, I recommend you talk to your doctor before starting anything. He or she can help you review different plans, weed out the scams, and assist you in picking the best plan that will work for you. Additionally, I have put together these six powerful rapid weight loss tips -- follow these and you'll be amazed at the rate your body is changing. Warning however; you may have to get a new wardrobe!
1. Balance. Healthy and rapid weight loss consists of several key components: Positive attitude, exercise (aerobic and anaerobic), nutrition, and in some cases, diet supplements. Bring these three (or four) components into your daily lifestyle. Your nutrition plan should be a healthy balance of low glycemic carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats (ie peanuts, salmon, olive oil, etc.). Incorporate an exercise plan that starts out with at least 15 minutes per day of cardio (walking, biking, etc.) and gradually increase the intensity and duration as your body adjusts.
2. Establish challenging but attainable goals. With the right attitude and mindset you'll be well on your way to melting those extra inches and getting trim. You need to have your goals in mind, and they should be realistic. If you are in your forties, it's highly improbable that you will be able to get back to the weight you were in high school if you haven't been that slim in over 20 years.
3. When your body talks, listen. Don't assume that the same program that worked for your brother or best friend is going to work for you. We're all different. We all have different rates of metabolism, or endurance levels, or muscle strength. If you overdo it, give yourself a rest. The key is, find a program that starts on the appropriate fitness level you currently are at -- if you were a couch potato, find a program that is geared toward beginners. Additionally, ensure you are including strength training for quick weight loss! The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be and the more fat you will burn!
4. Get in to fiber! And I don't mean fiber optics. With any quick weight loss plan, you want a diet that is high in fibers - it has many benefits: Fiber quickly makes you feel full. Fiber takes a lot longer to digest, so you feel full longer. Fiber cleanses your colon, and has a wonderful effect on your digestive track. I haven't even mentioned the rich content of vitamin and minerals it contains. Lastly, fiber has the added benefit of upping your body's natural insulin level, which boosts your metabolism so you burn calories at a fast rate all day!
5. Trans and saturated fats are the devil. Keep away from fired foods, especially deep fried foods. These contain enormous amounts of saturated fats which slow down your metabolism, increase your cholesterol, risky for your heart, and generally just balloons your body fat. Even though fish and chicken appear leaner than beef, if either one is deep fried, it will contain twice the amount of fat than beef. For quick weight loss, stick to broiled or grilled lean proteins, such as chicken, and fish, and pass on the deep fry.
6. Water, water, water. Did I say water? Proper hydration is crucial for a healthy rapid weight loss plan. You should be drinking at LEAST eight glasses of water daily, and more based on your exersize and diet plan. High-protein/low-carb diets as well as higher intensity exercise programs require more water. Additionally, water eliminates the body's waste, which is essential to rapid weight loss.
7. Forget about low fat diets. That's a shocker huh? Truth is, they don't work. American's have been sold that low fat diet myth now for over 20 years and, are we any slimmer? No, quite the contrary. We need fat in our diets, in fact, you can't effectively or quickly lose body fat without it. However, don't go running out and ordering those french fries, we already covered that in point #5. You need health fats. Fats like monounsaturated (olive, peanut, or canola oils) and polyunsaturated fats (like fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts). Your body needs them, it's an appetite suppressant and stunts hunger. Just keep in mind, to lose weight, we reduce our caloric intake, not eliminate fats.
Adapt those 7 quick weight loss tips into your daily routine, and you'll be amazed at how quickly the fat will melt. Keep in mind that focus, will power, and consistency are the key to lose weight fast. Stick with your nutrition and exercise plans. Make sure you don't get complacent in your exercise routine -- keep bumping up the intensity. You do that, and before you know it you will be amazed how your clothes feel looser, you'll feel better, you'll have more energy, and most importantly, you'll make a lifestyle change that will reap rewards for the rest of your life.
