Fast Weight Loss Tips for Special Occasions
You may have been in this similar situation before, the family wedding is coming up next month and you need to lose at least ten or more pounds urgently because you can’t seem to fit into that suit or dress. So, how do you do to lose weight that much in short period? Of course, you want to try any fast weight loss programs possible.
Losing weight quickly is not advisable as most of the loss will be muscle tissue and water; you put on the weight slowly (usually over years) so normally you should take it off slowly and then you will know that the majority of the loss will be body fat.
Now the clock is ticking and you will have force your diet to meet your target weight loss. Let’s look at that first, you all know that diets don’t work; they send the body into starvation mode, a survival mechanism from long age when humans faced periods of famine.
Going too low in calories causes the body to lower its metabolic rate, which reduces its ability to burn fat. At the same time, hunger signals increase and you quickly start to crave high-energy foods loaded with fats and sugar, the same foods you are trying to avoid.
Research shows repeated dieting actually makes it harder to lose weight and easier to put it on because when you dump the diet and return to normal eating habits the drop in metabolic rate caused by the diet means that your old habits actually represent an excess in calories. Not only do you regain the fat stores just lost, but also you may even gain an extra bit.
Knowing this, you really don’t want to put yourselves through this painstaking process, but for this special occasion you will. A successful weight loss diet program always associates with three things: workout, food and activity.
Workouts
First of all, you will have to boost the metabolism that has been lowered by the dieting. To do this you will have to perform a "Strength Train" workout to generate that initial spike in your metabolism. By increasing the lean muscle on your body by using Strength Training, your metabolism will increase, burning fat along the way.
The strength training technique requires just twenty to thirty minutes per week. Gone are the days of the five-day a week program with 6 to 12 sets per body part that, method has never worked. One short intense strength-training workout a week will elevate your metabolism more than you ever thought possible.
Biking
When it comes to fast weight loss, the formula is simple and it never changes. You have to burn more calories than you take in, and that more calories equals more weight gained. Therefore, most people believe that losing weight is as simple as cutting way back on calories.
