Many people live a hectic lifestyle and they just don't have time to work out religiously to get the body they want. However, there are a few simple tips to help you look your best in a week's time. So if you have a big date, or a special event for work, these tips will help you drop 5 pounds fast enough to be confident about your body on the big day.
Follow these next few steps for losing up to five pounds fast, and stick with it to continue dropping weight fast.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!! Drink plenty of water, not soda or fruit juices, but just water. Keeping the body hydrated will prevent it from retaining water and will help to flush out excess water from the body. This helps you lose weight because some of the extra weight we carry around is from excess water. So by regularly flushing out water, our bodies have less of a chance to carry extra water around.
Reduce / eliminate simple starches. Eliminate simple starches, such as white breads, pasta and rice, and replace them with vegetables. Our bodies digest simple starches fairly quickly and leave us hungry again in a short time span after eating. Vegetables, on the other hand, are complex starches, so our bodies take up a longer time digesting them, leaving us fuller for a longer period of time. So by replacing simple carbohydrates, with complex carbohydrates, our bodies work longer at digesting food, keeping us fuller, and lessening the need to snack in between meals.
Reduce the amount of sodium. You should limit your sodium intake to 1500mg a day. Eating too much salt makes the body hold on to extra water in order to process the salt and eliminate it from the body. To eliminate the salt, you will have to drink lots of water to flush out the sodium or you can sweat it out.
Exercise. Do 20-30 minutes of cardio daily to help burn calories. Specific exercises that target multiple muscle groups at once are optimal because these exercises help to burn more calories, up to 350, in the allotted time span. Consider doing cardio kickboxing, spinning or boot camp workouts to burn more calories as well as tone up your body. Alternatively you can do interval training. This is where you mix short intense bursts or activity with slower ones. For example, you can jog for 20-30 minutes but every 5 minutes you spend 1 - 2 minutes sprinting.
Get enough sleep - Sleeping peacefully helps boost our metabolism, and the faster our metabolism, the quicker we can burn calories. When we are resting, that is when our bodies repair itself; it is also when our bodies start building muscles. So if you need to, give yourself an extra 30 minutes to sleep in.
If you follow these tips, you should be able to lose 5 pounds in a week's time. If you plan on changing your lifestyle permanently, this is a good way to start, but there are other things you can do for yourself to be healthy and happy.
