An easy weight loss plan

Did you say there’s a way I can eat what I like and still lose weight? Is that even possible? Is there really a way I can lose weight without counting calories, carbs, fats, and without doing allrepparttar other stuff that these diet experts tell me?

Yes there is. First of all, to put it bluntly, diets just don’t work at all for long-term weight loss. The main reason why diets don’t work is because they take you out of your comfort zone. Diets say things like “Okay put downrepparttar 138424 cheeseburgers & fries and start eating rice cakes all day.”

Nowrepparttar 138425 all new popular Rice cake diet by “Dr. Whoever” may work just great while you’re on it but how long can you just eat just rice cakes. Basically,repparttar 138426 amount of weight you lose on a diet is equal torepparttar 138427 amount of time you’re willing to put up withrepparttar 138428 diet’s silly restrictions.

The worst part about being on a diet isrepparttar 138429 period right after you finishrepparttar 138430 diet. Most people tend to gain all their weight back and more after a diet because they go back to eating even more ofrepparttar 138431 regular foods they liked inrepparttar 138432 first place.

Being on a strict diet for any period of time only increases your cravings forrepparttar 138433 food you loved inrepparttar 138434 first place. It increasing your cravings to a point where you overeat so much that you gain weight.

To eatrepparttar 138435 foods you like and still lose weight you simply have to increase your metabolism. Your metabolism is your body’s fireplace. This fireplace will burn all that ugly body fat off you if operate it correctly. Here are some (6) simple ways to increase your metabolism:

1. Eat More! That’s right. Instead of eating 1-3 big meals a day try eating 5-7 smaller meals a day. Remember your body’s metabolism is like a fireplace. Think about this way: when you eat 1-3 big meals you are basically putting a real big log on your fireplace and anytime you put too much on a fire it goes out.

When you feed yourself small meals spaced about 2-3 hours apart duringrepparttar 138436 day you are putting small pieces of wood on your fat-burning fireplace. These small meals keep your fireplace burning throughoutrepparttar 138437 day.

What happens when you don’t put any wood on a fireplace? It goes out right? The same thing happens when you eat less than 3 meals a day. Waiting 4-6 hours between meals is too long, to keep your fireplace going remember to eat SMALL meals every 2-3 hours.

Just eat enough in each meal to satisfy you and not so much that you fell full.

2. Build Muscle Did you know… * That just 1lb of muscle burns off a pound of fat every 70 days! * 3lbs of muscle will burn off a pond of fat every 23 days * 5lbs of muscle will burn a pound of fat every 2 weeks.

Building muscle doesn’t mean you have to start Bench pressing, squatting, or buying fancy equipment. To build muscle you can do simple bodyweight exercises like pushups, crunches, and bodyweight squats.

Walking up steep hills at a moderate to fast pace will build muscle in your legs. All it takes is 10-20min a day 2-3 times a week with weights or your own bodyweight. Don’t worry about whatrepparttar 138438 scale says when you put a few pounds of muscle.

Fast Weight Loss…Can you really lose 60lbs in 30 days?

Is it better to lose 2lbs a day or 2lbs a week?

Yes it’s very possible that you can lose 60lbs in 30 days but I don’t think you would want to and here’srepparttar reason why:

Let’s say you do lose 60lbs in 30 days… how much of that weight you lose do you think is going to be pure body fat? Remember-- body fat makes us look ugly.

Anytime you try to lose more than 2lbs a week or 60lbs in 30 days (2lbs a day!)…A larger part ofrepparttar 138423 weight you lose is only going to be water and muscle. Losing a lot of water and muscle weight does nothing to improve your looks and it slows down your metabolism

Slow metabolism = easier weight gain

Every time you see a weight loss ad that’s too good to be true…the ad is basically saying “Hey you can lose 60lbs in 30 days but some of that weight you lose is going to be water and muscle weight”

Whenever you are trying to lose weight (body fat) for good and look your very best you definitely do not want to lose any muscle. Every time you lose muscle your metabolism slows down. A slower metabolism makes it easier for you to gain weight

As a matter of fact you may be one of those people who gain weight just by looking at food. The reason for your easy weight gain is that you probably don’t have that much muscle to begin with and when you try to lose 60lbs overnight you are only going to lose more muscle making it very easy for to gain allrepparttar 138424 weight back you just lost!

The more muscle you haverepparttar 138425 better you look. Even if you had two people ofrepparttar 138426 same height & weight but both had different amounts of muscle in their bodies--the person who hasrepparttar 138427 most muscle will always look better.

Arerepparttar 138428 outrageous claims thatrepparttar 138429 weight loss ads make true? Can you lose 60lbs in 30 days or 10lbs overnight? The answer isn’t No but a big Maybe.

But if you do happen to lose 60lbs in 30 days you’re only going to look worse (because ofrepparttar 138430 muscle you lose) and you’re going to gain it all back quicker than you lost it (because you’re metabolism is slower now that you lost muscle)

What if you have to lose 10lbs in one week to pass a physical exam? In this case you may have no choice but to go on “Dr. whoever’s rice cake diet” to lose 10lbs in a week. All you’re looking for in that situation is a quick fix to your weight loss problem.
