Lose 10lbs Fast.

     Health is wealth. A healthy body leads to a sound mind. You have to make efforts to remain in good health if you want to be fit and ward off diseases. A fit body also builds our confidence. A fit body cannot be demanded. It has to be achieved. If you are overweight or obese and want to lose weight fast, you have to have a balanced diet along with regular exercise. A balanced diet comprises of foodstuffs that fall in all the major food groups. You have to have a diet which includes grains, fruits and vegetables, milk and milk products and meat and meat products. A balanced diet will give you the right amount of nutrients from these five food groups and keep you in good health. But you can抰 have one good meal in a day and then binge on fat rich food. You have to stick to healthy habits and stick to the diet.

If you want to lose 10lbs fast, then here are ten steps which will help you achieve your target.

The first step is to find out the amount of calories your body needs to function properly. For that you need to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate [BMR]. The formula for that is body weight [lb] x 15 + (moderate activity [minutes/day] x 3.5). Since you want to lose weight fast you need to consume at least 500 kcal less than your BMR. For example, if you weigh 140 lb and perform 30 minutes of moderate activity then your BMR is 2205. So you need to consume only 1705 kcal everyday. By doing so, you will lose 1 lb per week.

You also need to consume minimum five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. This is because they are rich in vitamins, fibers and antioxidants. They act as fillers and help to fill up your stomach so you won抰 feel like eating. They contribute fewer calories and thus help you to lose belly fat.

You need to keep a tab on your portion size. You can have whatever food is being prepared but have it in moderation. Do not stuff yourself just because you like something or because it is not good to have leftovers in the plate.

Never skip meals. Try and eat small but frequent meals throughout the day that will help to spread your calorie intake. It will also help to maintain your blood sugar level.

If you want to lose weight fast, then have wholesome food. Always go for fresh foods and avoid processed and packed food. This is because the packaged food is rich in sodium and fat. Do not eat in restaurants or fast food joints. Instead enjoy home cooked food.

In your hurry to lose 10lbs fast, do not be too hard on yourself. Indulge in your favorite food once a while. But do watch out for the quantity. By pushing yourself too much, you will just end up craving the food that you shouldn抰 have even more. It can lead to you giving up on your fat burning furnace diet. Cut out on juices, soda, cream and sugar. Instead drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday.

Most importantly, exercise. Nothing will help you to lose weigh fast like a good work out.
