Rapid Weight in Three Steps
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009The battle of the bulge continues, with more than 68% of Americans being classified as obese, that is, with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30. Despite access to information, tools and strategies, the U.S. keeps gaining weight.
That’s the bad news.
The good news is that rapid weight loss is possible. In fact, people are losing weight faster than they ever thought possible, using some simple strategies you can implement in your own life.
Losing weight isn’t easy, of course, but research has shown that people who “bite the bullet” and do whatever it takes to get to their goal weight tend to have better results, long-term, than those who take the more leisurely approach.
Meal replacements (shakes or bars) are low calorie alternatives for regular meals. Nutritional information and research suggest that using meal replacements for just two meals per week can help keep off about ten pounds of fat per year. This is pretty significant, when you consider that even ten pounds of excess weight can reduce the length and quality of your life.
While very low calorie diets are not feasible for most of us for the long term, they can offer a quick weight loss process that can keep us motivated to make the more gradual life changes needed to maintain rapid weight loss.
In addition to using meal replacements, consistent exercise (where you burn at least 400 calories per session, at least five times per week) is another very important piece of the fat loss puzzle.
And, of course, the old standby: eating fruits and vegetables, as well as drinking lots and lots of water can’t be overlooked.
So these are the main keys to rapid weight loss: meal replacement, high physical activity, and increasing your intake of fruits, vegetables, and water.
These three steps will help you lose weight quickly, sometimes as much as 65 pounds in just five months.
