Wanna Lose Ten Pounds?

by Anna Cross

It doesn't matter who you ask - in a church, at a college,
or any company - you are bound to find out the bulk of most
people need to lose ten pounds or more of stubborn fat. Some
need to lose more, but a lot just can't get over the hump
and get rid of those pesky last pounds.

If you are one of the numerous who want to lose 10 pounds,
you can do it! there isn't some sorcery pill to take to
make those pounds melt away. There really are just a few
bonafide ways to lose pounds. You can reduce your calorie
intake or you can increase your exercise activity. Or, if
you need to lose pounds quicker, you can do a combination of
both : cut back your calories and boost your exercise.

Exercise helps burn the calories that you have recently
consumed. To shed weight fast, join an intense
cardiovascular fitness program. You'll need to find some
intensive cardio routines like running, cycling, swimming,
rowing or hiking. Although walking each day will raise your
exercise activity and help you in losing weight, it will
take much longer than the heart aerobic activities. You
would like to get your heart pumping for no less than 40
minutes a day.

Cut back on calorie consumption, too. This can easily be
done by simple things like picking green tea (unsweetened)
or water over sodas and vitamin waters. With many sodas
racking in at around 200-250 calories, you can see how
quickly this can add up if you drink a couple a day, or even
a few a week.

To lose pounds fast, you need to chop out the majority of
your sugar, too. The calories you take in should be ones
full of nutrients. Sweets such as cookies and cakes and
candy bars do nothing apart from spike your blood sugar and
add calories to your body.

Be aware of what you eat. Try cutting down on salad
dressing, which is high in calories. Try and drink less
alcohol. If you want a glass of wine, add some seltzer to
it. This will not only lesson the quantity of calories per
serving, but the bubbles will make you feel fuller. If you
drink whole milk, trade the entire milk for skim milk.

Not only should you be mindful of what you eat, but how much
you eat. Yank portions are much bigger than needed. If you
eat out at a restaurant, don't finish your whole plate.
Typical restaurant portions are much bigger than required.
If you fix your own food, fix smaller amounts. Put less food
on your plate. Eat that amount. Then wait at least 20
minutes. If you're still hungry, you can eat more . almost
all of the time, you will not be hungry after the twenty
minute wait.

Studies have shown that if you take your time while you are
eating, and are mindful about eating slower, you will
actually consume less calories. You are giving your brain
time to catch up to your stomach signally it is full - so
slow down!

Increase your cardiovascular/aerobic activity, cut back on
your calories, watch what you eat, and how fast, and you'll
be amazed at your results - because you can't help but to
lose weight when you do it right. Good luck! (Be sure to
