Eight Simple Secrets of Fast Weight Loss

By Ricardo d Argence

Its important before starting the long process of weight loss to consider the time it took to put the weight on initially. It is important that you consider safety factors when dieting. Starting a diet is not only not practical, it is often unsafe and unhealthy. There are many things you can do to start losing weight.

Although this may sound a bit far fetched, please hear me out. Reduce as much stress as possible by meditating, resting, reading, taking time for yourself, or whatever works to help reduce your sensation of stress. When we are stressed, our bodies naturally slow down the metabolism function because historically food scarcity has been known to cause stress.

Healthy and nutritious food should be eaten constantly throughout the day. You should consume a minimum of six small meals spaced out evenly over the day. The last meal rather than storing it up, not quite sure when the next meal will be coming that this will trigger your body in to a faster metabolism because it wil get in the pattern of expecting another meal very soon , so it will feel comfortable metabolizing.

Your body is full of toxins, fecal matter, and general junk that are inhibiting proper absorption and digestion of your meals. A complete body cleanse will not only quickly reduce your weight, but it will give you more energy and a healthier physical appearance.

I am certain that you are not drinking enough water. Do you know how much you should be drinking? Using this calculation, if you weigh approximatey 180 pounds then you would want to consume at least 90 ounces of water each day. According to the formula, the correct number of ounces of water you should drink each day can be calculated by taking your weight (in pounds) and dividing by two. Note: tap water is not an option. You are best off switching between drinking water filtered with reverse osmosis and water that has been distilled. If you can't stand the taste of water, then add fresh squeezed lemons, but no sugar or sugar substitutes.

Even a thirty minute brisk walk will do wonders for your weight, with forty-five minutes to an hour of aerobic exercise being ideal for overall health.

Many people do not eat well-balanced diets. Adding supplements to your diet is essential, as it is difficult to get all the nutrients needed daily with normal eating habits. Be careful to not be tempted to get them from Wal-Mart or a chain vitamin outlet like GNC. For best results, seek advise from a knowledgeable clerk in a natural health food store.

One of the best ways to promote a diet is to tell everyone the success that you are having. Don't wait until you have results. Just say it. Never talk talk to yourself about any negative self image you may have, or even your fear of failure, but talk about the success you are experiencing and/or hope to find. Bottom line: If you can BELIEVE IT, you can ACHIEVE IT!

Figure out how much weight you need to lose for optimal health. Then find a child that is about that same weight and walk for five minutes with that child in your arms. If you can't find a child, fill up a gym bag with books until it weighs the same amount that you want to lose. You will be so relieved to finally put it down that you will feel amazing, just think of how you feel when you lose that much of you!

So many areas of your life being overweight is bead for you. The biggest concern regarding your weight is your health, but it can also leed to relationship problems, as well as social and psychological problems. Don't you deserve better than that? - 15343
