How To Lose Weight Fast

Want to lose weight fast for a HS reunion, a vacation on the beach, or just for your own peace of mind?  While there are many ways to shed weight quickly, losing it too fast can be a shock to your body and thus a danger.  A loss of muscle tone or even heart disease and problems with other internal organs can result from fad diets, miracle pills and extreme fasting.  Here are some tips to safely shed weight fast.

Determine how many calories you eat, because burning more than you consume results in weight loss.  Keep a written record of every morsel, for at least a week.  That means everything, every morsel, every sample, every sip of water.  Then write down the calories in each of these foods and drinks.  There are many sources such as http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov that can help with this.

Once you have a list of all the calories you consume, look for ways to cut them.  One great way is to use smaller plater.  Portion sizes are generally too large both at home and in restaurants.  There are a lot of other no brainer cuts that don't significantly change what you eat.  Soda and juice, cake, cookies, butter, drop them.  Salad dressing is the largest source of calories on most dinner tables!  Getting used to the healthy taste of a salad with a pinch of lemon juice makes a big difference.  End you consumption of white bread, sugar and carbs.  These can easily be substituted with sugar substitutes and whole grain breads.

An easy place to target for calorie cutting is the side dish.  This portion of the meal often contains more calories than the main course.  Make a switch to healthy foods, or cut out the sides completely.

Pumping iron increases lean muscle mass, which increases your metabolism.  It's a decent calorie burner, but will help you burn calories even when not exercising.  Aerobic exercise is the best for calorie and fat burning.  Many experts say to perform aerobic activity for 30 minutes a day 3-5 days a week.  Hog wash!.  Make it seven days a week, which means an activity you can sustain day after day for the rest of your life.

You have your orders.  Get it in gear!
