Eight Simple Secrets of Fast Weight Loss

By Ricardo d Argence

Take time to consider how long it took to put the weight on, before you start your weight loss marathon. While it would be wonderful to lose weight instantly the only safe and practical way is to take your time. Even so, there are a variety of things you can try to start losing weight. Some of these ideas may work more quickly than you initially thought.

What I am saying and suggesting might sound odd, but if you listen for a minute, I think I can make myself understood. Reduce as much stress as possible by meditating, resting, reading, taking time for yourself, or whatever works to help reduce your sensation of stress. Our bodies naturally decrease metabolism when we are suffering from stress because stress-related things typically occur when food is scarce.

Healthy and nutritious food should be eaten constantly throughout the day. You should consume a minimum of six small meals spaced out evenly over the day. The last meal rather than storing it up, not quite sure when the next meal will be coming that this will trigger your body in to a faster metabolism because it wil get in the pattern of expecting another meal very soon , so it will feel comfortable metabolizing.

Your body is full of toxins, fecal matter, and general junk that are inhibiting proper absorption and digestion of your meals. A complete body cleanse will not only quickly reduce your weight, but it will give you more energy and a healthier physical appearance.

I am certain that you are not drinking enough water. Do you know how much you should be drinking? Using this calculation, if you weigh approximatey 180 pounds then you would want to consume at least 90 ounces of water each day. According to the formula, the correct number of ounces of water you should drink each day can be calculated by taking your weight (in pounds) and dividing by two. Note: tap water is not an option. You are best off switching between drinking water filtered with reverse osmosis and water that has been distilled. If you can't stand the taste of water, then add fresh squeezed lemons, but no sugar or sugar substitutes.

A brisk walk for thirty minutes to start with will do wonders for your weight, eventhough it is idealy,engaging in forty-five to sixty minutes of aerobic exercise is ideal.

It is difficult for most people to eat a balanced diet. What we need to so add supplements to your diet and it wouls be hard to eat enought food to give us. Be careful to not be tempted to get them from Wal-Mart or a chain vitamin outlet like GNC. You can go to a natural health food store and ask a knowledgeable clerk for recommendations if you want results.

One of the best ways to promote a diet is to tell everyone the success that you are having. Don't wait until you have results. Just say it. Never talk talk to yourself about any negative self image you may have, or even your fear of failure, but talk about the success you are experiencing and/or hope to find. Bottom line: If you can BELIEVE IT, you can ACHIEVE IT!

You should determine how much weight you need to loose in order to be in optimal health. Then with a child of proportionate weight in your arms, walk for five minues. If you can't find a child, fill up a gym bag with books until it weighs the same amount that you want to lose. When you finally put it down, it will be a great relief, so just imagine how amazing it will feel to lose that much of yourself!

Being overweight is bad for you in so many areas of your life. The biggie is health areas, but your weight can also cause social, psychological, and relational problems. Don't you deserve better than that? - 15683
