People talk about healthy living and losing a pound per week to stay in the safe zone but the truth is that people want to loose weight fast. There is a reason that diet pills fly off the shelves and that gastric bypass surgery is one of the fasted growing areas of the medical profession. If you aren’t willing to go under the knife and you don’t want to waste your money on useless supplements here are a couple of ways to loose weight fast.
Join a team and start playing a sport. The harder and more intense the sport the faster you will loose weight. Soccer and Ultimate frisbee are some of the higher intensity sports that don’t require lots of gear or full contact. Find out about pick up games in your area or join a league. Playing a high intensity sport for a couple of hours a week will burn a tremendous amount of calories, be loads of fun and inspire you to keep getting in shape.
Stop eating dinner. Yep I said it, you eat too much and you know it. Missing one meal a day won’t kill you and you may actually realize that you feel better without all of the extra calories that weigh you down and make you sleepy. If you start feeling hungry drink a couple big glasses of water or have a protein shake. This will eliminate at least 500 – 600 calories from your diet per day maybe more.
Quit drinking alcohol. You don’t need it and you probably forgot how good it feels to function without it. Two beers per night will easily add 300 calories per day to your diet of totally empty calories. As much as you would like to think that those studies about alcohol preventing heart disease and such its all baloney, you are better off without it, not to mention leaner. Alcohol is a depressant and don’t forget it.
Loosing weight fast doesn’t have to be an insurmountable battle and it is a battle that is winnable, you just have to pick the right fights.
