What You Need To Know About Weight Loss At Home

By Cathy M

There is a special occasion and you have to wear that old dress or suit but it does not fit so now you have to lose weight fast. Lose weight too fast and you could harm your body. A loss of muscle tone or even heart disease and issues with other internal organs can result from fad diets, miracle pills and extreme fasting. Here are some tips to safely lose weight fast.

Since losing weight is in simple terms expending more calories than you consume, figure out exactly what you are eating. Keep a written log of every tasty morsel, for a minimum of a week. Don't cheat. Short cuts on this only harm you. Now with the help of sources like mypyramidtracker.gov figure out the calories in what you have eaten over that time.

Once you have a list of all the calories you eat, look for ways to reduce them. This can be as uncomplicated as reducing down on meal portion sizes. Serve sizes are generally too big both at home and in restaurants. There are a lot of other simple tactics that don't significantly modify what you eat. Soda and juice, cake, cookies, butter, lose them all from your diet. Salad dressing is the prime source of calories on most dinner tables! Getting used to the delicious taste of a salad with a pinch of lemon juice makes a substantial difference. Also note that empty calories such as sugars and white breads (carbohydrates) are the first things to restrict. These can be replaced with sugar substitutes and whole grain breads without to much impact to you.

But I really like the side dish? This part of the meal is often a minefield of bad food choices including French Fries, macaroni and cheese and potato salad. Replace these items with healthy alternatives such as steamed vegetables, cottage cheese, or salad (minus dressing.)

Build up some muscle to build up muscle mass and metabolism. That leads to burning more calories even when you are sitting still like at your office desk. An Aerobic workout is probably the best for calorie control and fat burning. Many Guru's say to participate in some form of aerobic activity for 30 minutes a day 3-5 days a week. Don't pay attention to the 3-5 times a week school of thought on this. Find an activity you like and can achieve for seven days each week, as this is now a lifestyle change meaning forever..

There's the plan to lose weight fast. Now get moving! - 17273
