Weight Loss Techniques - Rapid Weight Loss Tricks

To start yourself off on a healthy weight loss program, you need to set about adopting healthy habits. Weight loss which you can depend on will happen only when you are in the right mind set. Instead of depending on short cut diets that may help you lose weight temporarily but give you no long term support, go for the long term sustainable health approach. Here is how you can see yourself lose significant weight while gaining instantly in appearance as well as health and stamina.

Phase 1-Taking out the trash: before you can even think of losing the extra fat, you need to get rid of the following from your diet;

1. Junk Food: junk food is the enemy. From causing dehydration, to slowing down the metabolism to increasing the risks of diseases like heart attack, diabetes, etc, we have junk food and the likes to thank for all this. If you want to snack, get into the habit of eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Salads are excellent snacks and with olive oil dressings, you will feel full and energetic. When you quit junk food, you will not only lose weight, you'll improve your immune system as you replace the junk with nutrition.

2. Soft Drinks: these so-called drinks are another health hazard. They may be drinks, but they cause dehydration in the body as well as raise blood sugar levels. When thirsty, go back to the basics, water and fresh juices.

Phase 2- Overhauling of the Diet:

1. Drink lots of water: now that you've ridden yourself of the toxic waste that vending machines pass on in the name of food, you need to cleanse your body. Start drinking more water. No matter what you may hear or read by advertisers, water really has no surrogate. A healthy adult requires at least 8 glasses of water a day, while an extra 8 ounces should be taken for every 25 pounds of excess weight.

2. Drink Green Tea: taking a cup of green tea, freshly brewed, daily is a great way to cleanse your body of toxins as well as lose weight. Not only will green tea help you lose weight, it's great for the skin too. You'll be losing weight and glowing at the same time, not many diets can accomplish that.

3. Eat Breakfast: one of the healthiest eating rules is to never skip breakfast. This is also one of the most violated rules. While we sleep, our body keeps its longest fast. The metabolism slows down. To get the energy pumping throughout our body, we need to eat breakfast. People who eat breakfast are more active and eat less at lunch, hence gain less weight than the breakfast skippers.

Phase 3- Keeping the Fat Off:

Lastly, when you lose weight, you should have a mechanism in place to keep it off. That's where exercise comes in.

Exercise: fat burning exercises are collectively referred to as cardio exercises. The reason is that these strengthen the heart and lungs, improve the circulations and speed up the metabolism. You get a stronger pumping ticker, and you lose weight. For healthy weight loss, a vigorous exercise routine for 30 minutes a day 5 times a week should be followed. Keep your body well hydrated. Outdoor cardio workouts like cycling, running, hiking, swimming, etc are great for weight loss and toning of the body. Don't go straight for very intense exercise straight away, try to start off slowly and then gradually build your stamina.
