In summer or maybe when we go on vacation is a time when we often need to lose weight quickly. The advantage of winter clothing is that it can hide a multitude of sins. Short-sleeved tops and bikinis can become items you dread wearing. It is at these times that we realize that we must face the awful truth, the extra weight has to go.
There is a lot of information available online about how much you can eat in a day and lose weight, did you know, for example, that 3500 calories equals 1 pound of fat? For some, losing weight quickly can be quite easy. If you eat a lot of fatty foods and sugary drinks, you’re probably over your goal weight. Switching to a healthier diet with water replacing sweet drinks and reducing fat intake can result in rapid weight loss.
Still on the subject of beverages, not only do regular fizzy drinks help you gain weight quickly, but two beverages enjoyed by many have similar effects: wine and beer. If you’re in the habit of having a drink with your meal or perhaps enjoying a drink or two in the evening, you may want to reconsider your intake. Even cutting out alcoholic beverages temporarily, during the period when you plan to achieve rapid weight loss, is a good idea. The lack of these calories, which you may not have considered before, will help you lose weight faster.
This type of diet is a wise, life-changing choice. It’s worth taking a little extra time when shopping for food to see if an item is unacceptably high in sugar or fat. It can be surprising how quickly these adjustments to your diet can make you look and feel better.
Cutting back on snacking and sticking to three meals a day is essential. Try to eat fruit whenever you feel hungry, remember that water and fruit juice will also help fill the gap. Another option is to eat five or six meals a day, but make sure these are very small meals. So you can control exactly what you’re eating, sitting down to eat at the same time every day is much better than snacking on the go. If there’s one thing I’d beg you to put at the top of your don’t-have-list, it would be pound-producing snacks.
This has all been about rapid weight loss, however the same basic rules apply, if the idea of being permanently thin appeals to you. You’ll feel better, look better, and find yourself revitalized—you might even start exercising!
