As a fitness instructor I am often asked about how to lose weight as fast as possible. Usually this question arrives from women looking to drop a dress size for an important event or wedding, and quite often their need for a 'gimmick' and their lack of interest in anything which isn't going to provide overnight success is what prevents them from reaching their goal. We know people who have literally spent two years trying to lose weight instantly.
Here are a few very basic and easy to follow rules which will help anybody to drop some unwanted poundage from their waistline.
* The first thing to do is figure out your daily calories and work at a slight deficit from now on.
* Secondly, protein has less impact on fat storage than carbs or fats so if you fancy a snack, protein up.
* Third we look at convenience snacks. Most people fall off the 'wagon' when they are at work without food and can see the vending machine in all it's glory staring them down all day. Take some small tubs to work, pack them with a healthy protein rich snack and you will be amazed how much weight this will take off you over the course of a couple of weeks.
* Fourth comes the tried and tested carb deficit. The basic rule when cutting down on bad carbs and bad fats is to also increase your protein intake. If you fail to do this you will hit a wall and find it impossible to lose any more weight after a couple of weeks.
* Finally we discuss the the benefits of having a day off. Regardless of whether you need one or would simply like one, the benefits of taking a day off your diet at the end of each week far outweigh the downsides.
First of all your body will react well to suddenly having a completely different day in its schedule. You will also end the risk that if you ever need to eat junk food your body won't start reacting negatively because you have avoided it for years.
But the main killer reason we recommend doing this is because it gives you a target. There is a difference, of course, between 'off day' and Christmas day. Don't overdo it. But having that relaxation period on a Sunday is something which will get you through even the toughest week, particularly if you have found it hard to stick to diets in the past.
These rules are proven to work. If you are trying to lose weight fast or trying to simply shift an few pounds and keep them off forever, each step here will put you on the right track immediately.
