Lose weight fast by the numbers may not have really occurred to you before. It is easier to want fast results and just think that your scale is off, but with some real diligence, fast weight loss can be achieved.
Fast is a strange term. It means moving rapidly along a path that leads to somewhere, not an immediate arrival, but steady and sure. Immediate and unrestricted weight loss can harm your health. Go ahead cautiously and rapidly.
With your notebook as your constant companion, choose a beginning page for some simple math. For example: You are a female age 34 and weigh 150 pounds You are 5'2". Look at several weight charts in books or on the Internet. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company published a basic chart in the late 1950's which was somewhat lower than some newer charts. Therefore, you could be anywhere from 109-136 pounds and that would depend on age and frame. You would therefore think that you would like to lose at least 14 pounds or just a little less than 10% of your weight.
The first day may be frustrating as you drag your notebook around jotting down every morsel you consume, but you must. If you are like most people, you forget that half of brownie or that small handful of nuts. You remember meals, but often forget the tartar sauce, the extra butter on the noodles and the nibbling you did while preparing the meal.
The numbers will guide you to the answers about your weight. Determine how many calories you need to support life, your BMR, and determine how many pounds you have decided to lose. Use charts on the Internet or in books to find your correct number. Losing about 10% of you current weight is very beneficial. Remember that it takes 3500 calories burned or not consumed to lose 1 pound.
Look at the BMR chart and jot down the number of calories that you need to maintain your body weight. Since you will to lose weight and not maintain this weight, start by subtracting a number that will make your total calories no lower than 1200. You must eat 1200 calories for your metabolism to function properly. Lower consumption interferes with metabolic rate. You probably see that this is a slow process when you limit calories only.
If you increase your activity to include walking or jogging, you will burn more calories. By burning 500 calories per workout, 5 days a week, that's another 2500 calories. This totals 4250 calories off per week. That's an easy way to lose weight fast.
When you don't take all the numbers into account, you lose track of knowing what you ate that you didn't burn and you can determine how many calories you sent to fat storage. This is not a pleasant thought, so burn what you consume.
