Weight loss is simply getting rid
of extra mass stored up in the body as fat. The body requests calories to work properly
but when we take in more calories than the body needs, it is stored up as fat
in the body. The main goal when we embark on a weight loss program is to get
the body to used up the fat stored up in it while we cut down the number of
calories we take in. In order to do this, we need to be aware of what we take
into our system. We need personal discipline, commitment, and patience.
Many individuals who started out
determined to lose weight have discovered that although fast weight loss is
possible on the short run. However, it is almost impossible to maintain it
without the right personal discipline and commitment. The main purpose of this
article is to show you some steps that could help you lose weight quickly in
the short run and also help you maintain it on the long run.
Set Your Goal
To lose weight quickly, you need
to determine how many pounds you want to lose within a set period of time and
be committed to doing it. To do this you need to seek counsel from your
personal doctor. He is in the best position to advise you on the most
appropriate goal that would be healthy for you.
Drink Plenty of Water
Water is necessary for the kidney
to function efficiently. The kidney is what actually rids the system of toxin
and other waste the body generates. You need to start out by drinking enough
water so your liver can function doing what it is meant to do - transforming
fat to expendable energy.
Eat Healthy Food
Food is needed for the body to
function properly. Do not starve ever. It is not healthy for your body organs. None of
the doctors will appreciate it.
Eat Healthy Fat and Starch
Good fat is the fat the body can
easily convert into fatty acid by the body enzymes. Enzymes are a kind of catalysts
essential to speed up a chemical reaction. Body enzymes help the digestive
system break down complex food molecules so the body can use them for growth
and energy.
Healthy fat is found in fish and
poultry products. Carbohydrate is necessary for energy. Carbohydrate with reasonable
fat can increase body metabolism.
Proper Exercise
Increased aerobic activities
increase body metabolism and this burns fat rapidly. As a result, a person can
handsomely lose weight. Do not drive when you should walk. The staircase is especially
a regular source of aerobic activity. Do not use the lift if you do not have to
walk up the sixth or seventh floor, instead use the stairs and burn your extra
calories. Home tasks like cleaning and gardening are also good sources of
aerobic activities.
