How to lose weight fast? Should you?

Dear Reader,
you might be unhappy with your current weight and want to reduce it.
That’s a worthy goal but, safety first! Rapid weight loss can release toxins into your body that results in Skin Rashes, symptoms like brain fog, tiredness or fatigue, and aches and pains in your joints.

An average woman needs about 2000 calories / day to maintain their current weight, and 1500 calories per day to lose 1 lb of weight / week. An average man needs 2500 calories to maintain, and 2000 to lose 1 lb of weight / week.

It’s better to make gradual changes that moves you towards your goal of healthy living.

Here are 11 Things you can try to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

1. Eat more Protein, Fat and Vegetables. So bacon and eggs taste great in the morning.
Substitute buttered toast and jam, a breakfast muffin with carrots and celery.

Best protein sources are:

Meat: Beef, chicken, lamb

Fish and Seafood: Salmon, Tuna, trout, shrimp

Eggs: Whole eggs with the yolk.

2. Cut back on sugars. It’s strange but true that your body wants to store anything more that one teaspoon of sugar as fat. If you keep adding sugar as a fuel source your body won’t switch to burning your extra fat. It’s ok after you are seeing gains to have a “cheat day” a day that you eat some carbs and sweets. But take it easy when you do.

3. Drink more water. It Is the secret weapon of weight loss. Make sure your water is filtered and from a glass or metal container. Plastic can leach unwanted chemicals into your water. It aids with digestion, elimination and overall health. As you burn fat you will want to flush the toxins that may be stored within it with water. Also identify and eliminate any toxins that are in your home.

4. Resistance Training at least 3 times / week
Whether it’s free weights or resistance bands, your body was meant for you to use its muscles. Isn’t it also of interest that we are naturally attracted to fit toned physiques.
It’s an instinctive indicator of good health. Yoga is also a great way to use your own bodyweight for exercise resistance. Even light weights can work. Move them slowly and you can reach that all important Time Under Tension goal. It will burn fat, build muscle and get you looking and feeling great.

5. Fasted Cardio. Try exercising before your first meal. Drink water when you do. A high intensity work out will give you great energy for the rest of the day and have you metabolism humming along all day.

6. Drink Coffee or Green Tea. No milk or sugar though. Both will raise your metabolism.

7. Eat your food slowly. Fast eaters gain more weight and will suffer digestive issues. Eating slowly makes you feel full, satisfied and boosts weight-reducing hormone production.

8. Use your scale every day to see your progress. You can’t manage what you don’t measure.
If you see the numbers going down, then keep up the good work. If you see the numbers going up reflect on what you ate. Also muscle weighs more than fat. If you like your new muscle gains and you look more symmetric and aesthetic then you are still on track for your body goals.

9. Get enough sleep. Not getting enough sleep will stop you from losing weight and might be the main cause of your weight gain.

10. Supplement with a Probiotic, Magnesium and Fiber. Help you tummy to do it’s job and it will help you to to look and feel great. When losing weight you will need to eliminate waste and toxins efficiently.

11. Intermittent Fasting. This is the method of consuming all of your meals in an 8 hour window. It means not having breakfast or a breaking of the fast til much later in the day. Say you had your first meal at Noon or even 1:00 PM or 2 :00 PM you could then have your last meal at 8:00, 9:00 or 10:00 PM. You know how you feeling like sleeping after eating a big meal? Well eat up and get some sleep. And because you are sleeping for 8 hours you won’r feel hungry. Drink black coffee or green tea to feel satiated. They have zero calories and won’t get you out of the intermittent fasted state.
