Hi lyndsayHere are some simple steps to help you lose weight fast:1. Before dieting, you must know how many calories you normally need in a day. If you are sedentary, multiply your weight (in pounds) by fifteen. If you are moderately active, multiply your weight by seventeen; if you are active, multiply your weight by twenty. This will give you the average calorie intake you need per day.2. Remember to eat your fruits and veggies! You need at least five servings of them per day �C doing this will put you on the right track to a healthy body, because fruits and vegetables have beneficial fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. They also fill up your stomach fast so that you don��t overeat and take into many calories.3. Monitor the quantity of food you eat. Avoid high-calorie foods and eat in small portions. A helpful tip is to chew your food slowly because this makes digestion easy on your body and you will also be less likely to overeat.4. Don��t skip meals. When you want to lose weight it may be tempting to starve yourself �C but eating small amounts of food frequently can help you maintain a healthy, balanced calorie intake throughout the day. Also, your blood sugar level will be adversely affected if you don��t eat often. You can even divide the standard allotment of three meals into five or six smaller meals.5. Fresh fruits and vegetables are ideal �C packaged and processed foods have high sodium and fat content. You are more likely to lose weight if you eat naturally fresh foods.6. Don��t limit your food intake too much. Go ahead and indulge yourself; eat your favorite treat. It��s okay to have that slice of birthday cake at the occasional party. Just make sure to eat in moderation and use those special desserts as rewards, instead of enemies, to your weight loss experience.7. Don��t always believe everything you read on a food label. ��Fat free�� does not necessarily mean low calories. The same wisdom goes for foods that boast ��low sugar�� or ��low carbs.�� Glance over the nutrition label �C there you��ll find the calorie count.8. Try to limit the number of juices and sugary beverages you drink. Instead, drink eight glasses water a day �C this flushes out your body��s toxins and waste.9. If possible, keep a food journal. This will help you keep track of your calorie intake and will be a daily reminder of the types of foods you need.10. Don��t forget to exercise! Thirty to sixty minutes of physical activity a day will ensure your health and help you lose weight (and not to mention, firm up those muscles). Weight-bearing exercises are especially great ways to burn those pesky calories.
It takes -3500 calories to loose a pound, which means you need to both burn calories by working out take less calories in by eating in order to loose weight.Eat fruits veggies of course. It s typical to eat a small breakfast and a big dinner, but my health teacher said you actually want to do the opposite. And never skip breakfast, it helps you loose weight. I stopped driking pop and lost 50 pounds in 1 year!! Don t drink juice. You d think fruit juice is good for you, but its not. It has alot of sugar and extra calories. People say dont eat carbs not true, 60% of your diet is suposed to be from some type of carbs... just make sure you eat whole grain or whole wheat bread. And drink only skim milk, all others arent so great for you. Just watch what you eat and pay attention to nutrition labels!Make sure you do some weight bearing activities along with cardio, it ll help build muscle and burn fat!
