The issue of weight loss has over the years generated a lot of
controversy with both those over weighted and those with normal weight involved
in this heated argument. Experts are however of the opinion that losing 1 to 2
Ibs per week is recommended for health sake. So in this article, we are going
to be looking at the fastest ways of losing weight while still maintaining good
health. The entire article is based on making adjustments to our diet, exercise
regimens and also avoiding drastic calorie cutting, which is characteristic of
crash and starvation diets. Come with me as I let you into this fabulous truth.
FIRSTLY: The first step of
achieving this is to get at least 1 hour of cardiovascular exercise daily. This
exercise should be performed at moderate intensity, so that your heart rate
increases. It is also advisable at this point to incorporate speed walking,
bicycling etc. then as your strength increases, you can add to the intensity. SECONDLY: You can achieve a great
result by adding intervals to your cardiovascular routine. This obviously
increases the amount of calories you burn. Riding a bike or jogging at moderate
rate for 2 minutes. Then at this point, you could switch from moderate to
higher intensity over the duration of your workout.
THIRDLY: Performing strength training exercise for at least
two times weekly will do wonders. During which you burn calories immensely
because, to maintain muscle tissue, your body has to work harder than when it
maintains fat. This training exercise uses your body weight. Also, at this
third stage, you can include lunges, pushups and squats and incorporate
exercise with free weights and weight lifting machines. FOURTHLY: It is time to
remove attention on exercise but to focus more on intakes. Here, it is
advisable to consume fewer calories on a daily basis. Multiply your current
weight in pounds by 7 to find out the calories you can consume daily to lose
weight while still maintaining your health. Ensure you do not go under 1,200
calories a day without medical supervision. Furthermore, reducing your starch
intake can do you a lot of good, you should consume complex carbohydrates like
oatmeal, whole-wheat pasta and brown rice, if you must have starches. When
necessary, eat starches early in the day and reduce or avoid them as the day goes
on. Fill up on vegetables, fruits, lean meats, non-fat dairy products and
water. In addition, it is wise to keep a food and exercise journal to help you
stay focused. Record your daily food intake and your daily exercise routine. If
at any time you experience any halt in weight loss, consult your journal to see
what is causing this and where you can make adjustments . .Finally,
sleep well. Ensure you get up to 8 hours of sleep at night, because lack of
sleep keeps your metabolism from functioning properly during working hours. You
are also less stress resistant during the day when you are sleep deprived. You
may give into cravings quicker and sabotage your diet. Putting the above tips
into practice ensures that you not only lose weight but fast too.
BEST OF LUCK!
