Quick Weight Loss Tips

Short cuts and quick tips are often sought by those who need to lose weight fast but are lacking in motivation or simple will power to get on and do it for themselves.

While the last post here looked at some of the useful foods that you can include in your diet to help you shift some of the excess fat by simply eating, here we'll look at some of the ways in which you can shed several pound reasonably fast without doing any damage.

There are many very fast ways to lose weight, but a lot of them involve dangerous surgical procedures which is really not part of the scope of this website, which concentrates on the many easy ways to burn fat and get in shape that are both natural and safe. But that doesn't mean you still cannot lose weight fast when you put your mind to it.

It also helps to have some handy quick ways to lose weight to hand just to ensure you are in no doubt as to what it is you are going to do. So go ahead and give these a try, if you like:

Tips for Faster Slimming

1. Every morning before you get out of bed, spend two minutes stretching
2. When you get up, drink a full glass of plain water
3. Before you have breakfast, go for a 30 minute or longer fast walk or run
4. Eat a filling breakfast but no fried food allowed! Instead go for muesli, porridge, fresh fruit etc
5. During the day, no slouching around on the sofa, stay as active as possible
6. Eat small meals more often rather than one or two big meals
7. Include plenty of vegetables in your meals and eat fruit afterwards. No cakes or puddings!
8. Drink two litres (8 glasses) of plain water a day
9. In the evening, go for another 30 minute or longer fast walk or run before your evening meal
10. Do not eat close to bed time. A two hour gap is good, longer is better
11. Make sure you're completely relaxed when you go to bed, so that you sleep well

These few quick tips are very basic and easy to stick to. They are not the whole story, but will help you get into a kind of routine that will improve your metabolic rate and ensure you get plenty of exercise every day. It only has to be light exercise by the way. Going to the gym a few times in the week will of course be even more beneficial, but not everybody can do that.

But everybody that has the ability to walk can certainly go for a 30 minute or longer walk twice a day. This is so important for getting your muscles moving, your heart pumping harder and raising your body temperature.

Do this for long enough (in excess of twenty minutes) and the body begins to burn the sugars stored in the fat cells to fuel those muscles. You don't have to go mad, just get some sensible, easy to do daily exercise like this into your life and you will surprise yourself.

Knowing What to Avoid

You may have noticed that I left out the obvious no brainer stuff, like avoiding sweets, chocolate, cakes, biscuits, pizzas, burgers, potato chips, fries and all the fattening foods that will simply nullify all of your efforts to lose weight fast. That doesn't mean you can have any of them, by the way!

Another of the highly important quick weight loss tips is to get your head into the right frame of thinking, meaning not just being positive about wanting to get in shape, but actually visualising yourself being the weight you want to be at.

You need to set aside some quality time to do this. Twenty to thirty minutes is plenty, where you can be quiet, uninterrupted and simply relax while you imagine yourself actually walking around at your perfect weight.

This is such a powerful technique that anyone can do and it really does work. The more you do it and get into that feeling place of being at your ideal weight and body size, the faster you'll achieve it.

So now you've got some of the tips that you came here looking for. Your task is now to get yourself into the place of carrying them out and losing that weight!

So what are you still doing here?

Get off that computer and start moving your body!
