Fast Ways To Lose Weight

1. Cut your exercise time in half and double your fat loss. You do not have to give up the fast fat burning benefits of exercise when your life gets busy. In fact in as little as 20 minutes a day you can boost your fat burning by 9 times over the old style long and slow exercise session. The key is to add short burst of higher intensity to your aerobic workout. By alternating back and forth between one minute intervals of high pace and one to two minute intervals of lower pace you stimulate your metabolism.

2. Stay strict with calories during the week and up them over the weekend. A great way to lose weight and at the same time keep your metabolism high is to vary your calorie intake during the week. By keeping calories low for the weekdays you lose weight but you also slow your metabolism so on the weekend you can boost your calorie intake (start with 25-50%) and at the same to boost your metabolism.

3. Watch out for the refined carb trap. In the middle of the afternoon you might feel tempted to reach for a packet of cookies or pretzels as a pick me up but this can slow your weight loss. Quick carbs like these cause a surge of insulin in your body and this opens up your body’s ability to make fat and shuts down your body’s ability to burn it off.

4. Don’t drink your calories. When you down a sugary soda, flavored coffee or even juices you are adding a lot of quick digesting carbohydrates and unneeded calories. These drinks do little to satisfy your hunger and contribute to weight gain.

5. Pack the veggies. Vegetables are a dieters best friend because they add a lot of volume to your diet which digests very slowly and they add very few calories. Learn to love veggies for the way they fill you up and you will find them and easy and fast way to lose weight.
