1. Exercise! get your heart rate up at least 5-7 days a week for 30-60 minutes. Short on time? Try 10 Minute Trainer.
2. Add strength training to your workout. By working out with weights regularly, you increase your lean muscle mass, and lean muscle burns calories at a much higher rate than fat does. The more lean muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn -- even when you're staying perfectly still.
3. Drink 8-10 glasses (8oz) of water per day.
4. Get plenty of rest. At least 7-8 hours of sleep at night.
5. Keep a food journal to help you keep track of your eating pattern so that suitable changes can be brought in accordingly. I recommend using livestrong.com to log in your meals and WOWY for logging in your workouts.
6. Make your plate look like a rainbow! eat at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies everyday.
7. Instead of eating 3 big meals, try to eat 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day. Eating small frequent meals helps to balance your calorie intake throughout the day and to keep your blood sugar level balanced.
8. Eat smaller portions. Check out this guide on portion sizes.
9. Replace 1 meal per day with a meal replacement shake, I highly recommend Shakeology. Contact me for a FREE SAMPLE.
10. Make this a lifestyle. Stop calling it a "diet". Diets are temporary and do not work because as soon as you stop them you gain all the weight back and some more. By changing your habits you are putting yourself on track for long-term weight loss and weight maintenance success.

It is definitely difficult to lose weight fast. I hope these tips will work. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe fastest and easiest way to lose excess weight is to avoid salt and salty food. When you reduce salt intake you lose some of the fluid retention, so this is easy method to reduce weight and also reduces high blood pressure and risk of stroke and heart disease. Have a full glass of water immediately when you wake-up in the morning and stop putting toxins in your body. Avoid use of vehicles for small distances and use staircases instead of lifts at your workplace as well as your home. Exercising is one of the best ways to burn calories. Thanks a lot.
