I can't help but chuckle when I hear people tell me that they "Just can't lose any weight!"
First, losing weight is not "Instant" happening. It is, instead, a process that take time.
There are some short cuts that a person can do to begin to see results more quickly.
Here are a couple of those short cuts:
1. Pay attention to what you eat - EVERYTHING!
Remember that cookie that you grabbed on the run? How about that handful of
chips that you just couldn't pass up as you were going through the cabinet?
Didn't you grab a glass of juice with lunch? Juice is good, but it does have calories.
2. Speed up your metabolism. YEAH, RIGHT! So how do I go about doing that "Smarty"?
What you are trying to do is to make your body more efficient. Some people just
naturally (those lucky dogs) have a more efficient physiology that others. Most of us must
actually work at getting our bodies to cooperate.
To get your body to be more efficient, you need to make your muscles do more work.
When your muscles work more, they burn off more calories. So, getting your muscles
toned up and stronger is one of the keys to burning off more calories more quickly.
In a nutshell, pay close attention to what you eat each day (NO CHEATING! You only hurt
yourself in the long run). Cut out those small snacks, and drink more water. You can cut up
to 500 calories a day simply by paying attention. Next, you need to get more active. Don't
avoid stairs. Don't send your kids to do things that you can do. Walk a lot.
If you can cut out only 300 calories a day in snacks and drinks, and if you get enough exercise
so that you burn off 300 calories a day, that is a 600 calorie deficit without even trying hard.
In ten (10) days, you will have lost 2 pounds. Now, if you actually work at a diet, and do a
bit more serious exercise - WOW!
That's all I have for now.
