Weight loss should always be a accomplished at a healthy pace of 1/2-2lbs max per week. However, there are little tricks to give your program a boost. If you need to lose an extra few pounds in a hurry for a special event like a vacation, reunion or wedding then try these techniques.
Five Tips to Lose Weight FAST:
1. Drink more water.
Drinking your daily water requirements will help you shed water weight, which can be as much as 5-10lbs. Drinking water also aids digestion. The longer the food takes to digest, the more fat will cling to your body. Water also helps vitamins and supplements absorb. FYI- For this to work you need to cut out extra salt in your diet!
2. Take your cardio up a notch.
Cardiovascular activity is the best way to lose weight quickly. You can either up the intensity, the time or perform high intensity intervals. Cardio burns fat and revs up your metabolism for the rest of the day.
3. Up your protein, lower your carbs and fat intake.
This method is NOT recommended on a long term basis and you should never restrict food groups all together. First, figure out your caloric requirements and then your daily recommended Macro nutrients. Now lower your fat intake to approximately 20%, your carbs to 35% and up the protein to 45%. You will lose weight this way. This is a technique that celebrities use to shed some weight before a shoot or filming. It definitely works but if you do it for too long you will feel very tired all of the time. Eventually you will have to eat normally again and the weight will come back. In small doses, you can keep the weight off for good.
4. Add a couple extra lifting sessions in a week.
Weight lifting also helps to speed your metabolism. Not only that, but a more toned body equals an all around better looking body. If you look fit and your muscles are showing you may have gained muscle mass but your physique will be more fit, healthy and will look nicer than someone who is thin but doesn't hit the weights at all.
5. Hire a personal trainer.
Most of the time, the reason someone can't lose the weight they want, is because they are not pushing themselves hard enough and are not consistent with their workouts. Sometimes all it takes to see results, is a little help and motivation to make sure you are on the right track. Hiring a personal trainer to advise you on eating habits and to make sure you get through your workouts, is a great way to boost weight loss.
Be sure that you are losing weight at a steady pace. It's critical to keeping it off for good and feeling energetic and healthy. Never give in to crash diets or pills that claim to make you lose weight. Not only will they make you feel awful but it's just not realistic to expect a pill to make you look fab without ever having to lift a finger.
