If you want to lose 2 pounds per week, double your workout time or
your intensity level. There are plenty of activities above you can do to
lose that amount of calories such as jump rope, high intensity
treadmill, jogging or even swimming (swimming, which is low impact
on your joints).
How you go about this is in your hands. You have to find the starting
level comfortable for you then to work your way from there. Always
remember to build muscle you have to feed muscle. Extra muscle
tissue strips that fat right out of your system and burns it off for
energy so it’s important that you get a good balanced diet.
When it comes to eating never consume more than 20 grams of fat in
a day. This way you are not burdening your body with unnecessary
extra calories to burn off.
Consume smaller meals and take notice of the way you eat. Eat
slower than you normally would. Focus on how you chew your food,
take notice of how much food is on your plate so that it doesn’t seem
to vaporize before your eyes leaving you wanting second helpings.
Eating slower gives your brain an accurate measure of fullness as it
takes 30 minutes for your brain to register that you are full.
Make an effort to exercise at least 3 times per week any additional
exercise will only increase calories burned contributing to your overall
weight loss.
Don’t eliminate entire food groups, ensure you eat a balanced diet with
a mixture of good fat and complex carbohydrates. You need carbs for
energy in order to lose the weight and you need a certain amount of
good fats for normal body functioning. It’s ok to have the occasional
bad fat treat just remember the amount of exercise you’ll have to do
to burn it off.
