How To Make Rapid Weight Loss

Being heavy pretty much all the fun out of life. Not being able to participate in all the activities of life, going tracking or mountain biking with your friends, keeping up with your little kids, climbing a flight of stairs without losing your breath, etc. It's an endless list of disappointments. But loosing that weight is not only important for your health; it's also very easy to do. One thing that you should always consider when trying to lose weight is that you're losing excess fat. Losing weight at the expense of your body's muscle mass is a disastrous approach that will not only leave you body undernourished, you are also very likely to rebound on your overweight ways. Fad diets which claim to cause rapid weight are not healthy either. They risk your health and have no appreciation for the natural processes in your body that are present to aid any corrective measure you may be taking.

The problem with fad diets is that, though you may lose weight, you won't be able to sustain it. They get fast results but don't give a plan for continuation. Here is a way to lose weight fast, easily and in a healthy manner.

1. Set your target weight: find out what your normal weight should be, considering your age, gender and height. This is your target weight, and the difference between this weight and your current weight is the excess weight you want to lose.

2. Count your calories: take a note book and set yourself down writing all the items that you eat in a normal day, all meals, snacks, beverages, anything that goes into your mouth.

3. Make gradual calorie cuts: after calculating your total caloric intake, don't just jump to half of that if you want to lose weight. This will end up backfiring on your body. When the body faces a drastic cutback in nutrition, it goes into a state of starvation here it begins to hold on to every bit of fat as it's emergency reservoir and instead begins to eat protein. In the human body protein exists as our muscles. Thus, if you make drastic caloric cuts, you risk muscle loss. Cut around 100-200 calories from your daily diet. Gradually decrease the caloric intake on a weekly basis till you reach your ideal target weight.

4. Drink lots of water: water is nature's blessing to humankind. Poets have written scrolls of praise over it, and it's justified. Water is a natural cleanser; it detoxifies the body, makes the skin glow and stops your muscles from swelling up due to water retention. Water is also the best natural appetite suppressant. The average healthy adult should take at least 8 glasses of water a day, and when you're aiming to lose weight, take an extra 8 ounces of water for every pound of extra weight.

5. Exercise: exercise is essential for healthy sustainable weight loss. Exercise elevates your metabolism and increases your stamina. It makes you feel powerful, able and active. A healthy adult should have a 30 minute calorie burning activity on a daily basis. When aiming for weight loss, start with some brisk walking. If you can't walk for 30 minutes, walk as far as you can and gradually try to increase your time and your pace. Never over-exert yourself.
