Fast weight loss is really not that difficult. What’s difficult is keeping the weight off. In fact, most people gain the weight back with as much speed as they lose it in the first place. Never-the-less, if fast weight loss is what you’re looking for, here’s how to do it.
Here are the 5 things you need to do to lose weight fast:
1. Limit carbohydrate intake to approximately 50g a day. That’s not a whole lot. Limiting carbohydrates will drop the water weight quickly because of its diuretic affects. Expect to lose quite a bit of weight from this one tip alone. Fruits and vegetables are the carbs that should be eaten. (More carbohydrates should be eaten on the days you work out.)
2. Flush your body with lots of water. Women sometimes mistakenly believe that drinking water will cause water bloat. In reality the opposite is true. When you limit water intake the body tries to hold onto it. That’s because our body’s main function is to keep you alive. Drink up to 2 gallons of water a day and you’ll flush out the excess water.
3. Increase protein intake. Study after study shows that eating a higher ratio of protein to carbs helps the body lose bodyfat easier. Protein will boost the metabolism and increases satiety. Protein should be eaten at every meal.
4. Give strength training a try. If you already train with weights, ramp it up a notch. Training with weights is one of the best ways to burn fat. Having more muscle gives you a huge metabolic boost. That’s why bodybuilders are so efficient at burning fat.
Unfortunately many women train with weights that are too light. Pick a weight that allows you to do between 8-12 reps, but don’t go to complete failure where you can’t do another rep. Stop a couple of reps before you reach that point. Training with weights is one of the best things you can do to lose fat.
5. Try interval training. Have you ever seen a fat sprinter? Probably not. That’s because sprinters train with high intensity. This type of training has been proven to burn fat much faster than steady state cardio training.
It’s all about kicking the intensity of your workout up a notch or two. Here’s a simple workout: On a treadmill after warming up, run at 80 – 90 percent maximum effort for 30 seconds. Rest for 30 – 60 seconds and repeat 8 to 10 times. Do this twice a week and watch the fat melt away.
I guarantee fast weight loss will come easy if you follow these five tips.
