So you've noticed that your clothing doesn't fit quite the way it used to. Well, gaining weight is easy to do, but losing it is a bit harder. However, it's not the end of the world, and there are solutions.
Most people do very little exercise, which ultimately leads to being overweight. If you're overweight, you're far from being the only one. In fact, you and about one-third of the population are in the same boat. Processed, packaged foods, along with the convenience of dining at local restaurants of all types, lead us to gain weight easily.
In this article, we'll explore ways that you can drop an entire jean size in just ten days. You'll be amazed with how easy it can really be. So if you're looking to lose weight super fast, just follow the tips below!
Diet
Diet is such an ugly word that most people don't want to hear it. But if you want to lose weight quickly, you have to eat properly. I know you've heard that a thousand times, but often in this life it is the simple, obvious things that make all the difference. But just what does eating properly mean? It means staying away from bad fats such as hydrogenated fats, chemical additives such as mono-sodium glutamate (MSG), and high fructose corn syrup. It means eating raw fruits and green leafy vegetables. These are foods that contain enzymes and other phyto-chemicals (plant-derived nutrients) that help us to lose weight and stay healthy. Scientific studies performed by the University of California at San Francisco prove over and over that just by getting raw fruits and vegetables into your diet you can lose weight.
One of the best ways to lose weight quickly is to cut out processed foods, such as white bread, processed cheese, and pre-packaged foods. Also, stay away from fast food restaurants, and eat at home as much as possible. Fill your diet with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low fat dairy products.
Next, have a look at your portion sizes. Instead of eating one or two meals, eat 5-6 meals that are smaller. Space these meals regularly throughout your day. Each mini-meal should be about the size of the palm of your hand.
Exercise
The next component to any weight loss plan is exercise. There's no need to join an expensive gym or to work yourself to exhaustion. You can lose a jean size by doing nothing more than cutting out some of your bad habits and replacing them with good habits. For example, if you normally take an elevator or escalator to reach your floor at work, take the stairs. You can also park further way from the entrance to your building, walk a block or two between meals or bike to the corner store instead of driving.
In today's society, we tend to use machines to get around, when we should be using our muscles. Our bodies were meant for motion, and by incorporating as little as ten minutes per day of exercise into your daily routine, you can lose inches off your middle in no time flat.
Partner Up
Most people find it easier to exercise with a partner. If you know someone who is looking to lose weight, try walking with them. Perhaps take up a class such as Yoga. The important thing is that you enjoy whatever it is you're doing. It's easier to stick with physical activities that you genuinely enjoy, than it is to do something you hate.
Make exercise fun, and you're more likely to lose weight more quickly and easily. Once it becomes a lifestyle, rather than something you think you have to do, you'll never have to worry about pants that don't fit again.
