Rapid Weight Loss Done Right

We see major transformation weight loss shows on television all the time.

They transform their bodies in a few months and are completely different people. It seems simple and like even us at home can accomplish fetes like these.

Truth is, we can. It may sound strange, but it is possible to lose 1-2 pounds a week with dedication and a very strict diet and exercise routine.

To lose weight all that needs to be done is to burn more calories than you take in. It has been recommended that cutting calories each day by 500 and adding in more exercise, the 1-2 pound deficit each week can be a realistic goal.

Of course if wanting to lose weight even faster, workout more.

It may not be like the shows you see on television where hours each day are dedicated to working out, but adding in exercises here and there each day can add up by the end of the night

How Many Calories Do You Need

For weight loss the recommended caloric intake should be between 1,050 and 1,200 calories a day. That is the amount that you should take in to see a rapid weight loss, but lowering calories below 1,050 is not ideal.

This could in fact keep you from losing weight and instead keep your body at a stand-still. Instead, stay within the recommended amount of calories and boost your workout routines.

To make sure that you are taking in the proper amount of calories each day, consider a food journal. This allows you to write down everything that you consume -from main meals, snacks and beverages.

This will give you a good idea of what you are eating by visually seeing it on paper.

When wanting to lose weight rapidly, but in a safe and healthy way, it is important to think of eating food as a way to properly fuel your body.

Your body is going to need foods that promote weight loss, but at the same time fuels your body with the energy it needs to keep going. Be sure to eat tons of protein, which are energy boosting nutrients and help keep you feeling fuller longer.

Also, fill your body with plenty of fruits and vegetables that are not only healthy, low in calories and keep your body satisfied longer, they taste great.

Importance Of Hydration

Water is another key element in weight loss. Staying hydrated allows your body to not only feel fuller for longer periods of time, but allows your body to have the ability to stay energized during your workouts.

Water is a perfect tag along item for those long cardio workouts. Cardio burns more calories faster and is a perfect workout routine to take up when wanting to lose weight rapidly.

But, it is also important to designate two days a week for strength training. Try and get in two workouts a day, that is only two hours total.

Designating two hours a day, even breaking up each workout is a great way to kick your body in gear and to lose weight fast, and still within a healthy way.

If dreaming of looking fabulous in that dress for your high school reunion or friend’s wedding, a rapid weight loss can occur and can be done in a healthy way.

Remember to stay motivated, burn more calories than you take in and stay hydrated.

The entire process is up to you and your determination to see results.
