Fast and Easy
Weight Loss Tips

Unless you have a metabolic challenge, it really comes down to the fact that you need to consume less calories than you burn.

Check out www.my-calorie-counter.com/calorie_calculator.asp to determine your basic metabolic rate (calories burned daily) as a starting point.

After determining your basic calories burned in a day, follow these fast and easy weight loss tips.

• It takes 3500 calories to burn 1 pound. If you consume 500 fewer calories per day you will take off 1 pound per week. 500 calories x 7 days = 3500 calories. Calorie counting can pay off.

• Keep track of what you eat for a week or so.

• This will guide you on how many calories you need to burn.

• Eat off of a salad plate and not a dinner plate.

• Increase your activity so you burn more calories than you consume. Wearing a heart monitor will track your calories burned. You can find a heart monitor at a local athletic store or from me at Heart Rate Monitor Specialist.

• Don't try fad diets.

• Eliminate all refined foods.

• Eat at least 7-9 fruits and vegetables per day.

• Don't cook with any oils (good or bad).

If you want the fastest weight loss, then you will need to exercise at a high intensity for 1 hour two times a day.

If your a beginner to exercise, then walk for weight loss in the beginning. Here is a simple routine. Be sure and wear your heart monitor.

• Walk at a normal pace for a 5 minute warm up.

• Pick an object in front of you and walk as fast as you can to that object. You should be short on breath when reaching the object.

• Continue walking until you are breathing normal again.

• Pick out another object and repeat the process.

• Your goal is to do this for 1 hour. Faster weight loss will occur if you can do it twice a day.
