Let’s accept it…we want to look thin and we want it NOW! But quick weight loss is
easier said than done. It requires undying motivation and resolve. And it all starts with
choosing the right kind of program. A program that helps you shed extra flab but in a
healthy manner. There is no dearth of options that claim to provide these kinds of
results. There are the much advertised home-use fitness equipments. Different kinds of
weight loss products marketed through Multi Level Marketing are getting increasingly
popular. Different diet programs like high protein Diet, Mediterranean Diet, blood group
etc. are also hugely marketed.
So which among these programs does one choose? Well, the first thing to remember, if
you want to achieve quick weight loss, is that there are no short cuts. Fat in your body
that has taken years to accumulate will not disappear overnight. You will have to work
hard and be highly disciplined. So if there is any program that is offering easy weight loss,
you are advised to stay away from it. As far as the others go, ignore the ones that are
against the very principles on which our body works. For example, anything that asks
you to crash your diet. It is difficult to imagine any good coming out of something that
deprives your body of important nutrients like vitamins, fibre, minerals etc. You make
end up losing weight but with that your vitality, energy and liveliness may also go for a
toss.
Thankfully, there are some things that will never go out for fashion. And those are eating
a proper balanced meal along with good amount of physical exercise. This combination
will work irrespective of what your fitness goals are. At the same time, if quick weight
loss is your main requirement, here are a few tips that will add a little extra to your
program and will help in speeding up things:
1) Drink plenty of water…and more: 8-10 glasses of water are needed to maintain our
body functions. However, a little more water than this is known to mobilize fat and
cause liposys leading to more burning of fat.
2) Less food, more times: Eat small portions of food, 5-6 times a day. This is known to
facilitate quick weight loss as it increases your metabolism and keeps you away from
hunger pangs.
3) Go green: Fibre and vitamins that body derives from fruits and vegetables are
essential to losing fat and should thus be consumed in plentiful. Vegetables should be
a regular part of your meals while fruits are a great way of snacking!
4) Get Moving: A fitness program that combines cardiovascular activity(walk,
swimming, jogging, running etc) with strength training will be the perfect supplement
to diet changes suggested above.
Although the above tips look very simple, they are difficult to implement. However, once
you get used to such a lifestyle, a new, slimmer you is possible in very quick time!
