Obesity in industrialized nations is at an all
time high. Most researchers link this to the standard Western diet which is too
high in fats, sugars and processed foods. Most individuals also expend very
little energy and expect everything quickly. We want fast food, fast weight
loss, fast Internet and fast track.
Everyone requires food for energy. The body
uses what we take in to feed the body at the cellular level and produce some
level of health. The only difference between being individual who wears a size
6 and one who is overweight is how much food and how long between meals.
In a perfect world
fast weight loss would be easy.
We could take a magic pill and be fit and trim
by evening. But in the real world we may be able to lose some initial weight
quickly but maintaining that weight loss and keeping it off requires commitment
to a healthy lifestyle.
There is a very good reason why a most weight
loss plans begin with a way of achieving fast weight loss. In the first place,
the human body can usually accommodate a quick loss of two or 5 pounds without
throwing it into starvation mode. This is a process in which the body actually
hoards calories and weight loss is achieved much more slowly, even though the
individual is eating very low calorie diet. Unfortunately, when the individual
stops eating a very low calorie diet the weight will actually return quickly
and often in greater amount. Secondly, taking off those first three to 5 pounds
is incredibly motivating!
Here are a few tips to help you get started
losing those initial pounds and motivating yourself to keep moving forward.
Take a good long look
at what you are really eating every single day.
Use a short-term diary to record what you eat,
when you needed it and how much of it you are eating. This is incredibly
important. Most people have no idea how much food they are eating every single
day until they began to write it down. Our minds will actually trick us into
thinking that we are doing better or worse than we are actually doing.
Take a look at your
exercise patterns.
Do you exercise? How much and for how long? At
this time if you do not exercise, start to incorporate something into every day
of your daily regimen. Even if you only begin by walking for 10 minutes every
day, this will help you to lose that much more quickly in your quest for fast
weight loss.
Drink lots and lots of
water.
When you hydrate with water the body flushes
out toxins and waste products from your body, through your sweat, your lungs
and your kidney. You will actually begin to feel better and your skin will look
better as your hydration level improves. Water is the most important fluid in
your diet. Get rid of sodas and alcohol that only add calories, no nutritional
value and will actually dehydrate your body.
Set your weight loss
goals and write them down where you can see them.
Be sure your goals are attainable and point
you towards good health and not a goal of looking like America's next top
model. For instance, instead of a certain weight loss each week your goal could
be to drink 10 8 ounce glasses of water and work out for 30 minutes every day.
With these types of goals to weight loss will take care of itself.
