Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I've been really busy with life and trying new opportunities like finishing my book. But anyways here is what you have to absolutely do to lose that stubborn 5 pounds and I swear this worked for me.
How to lose 5 pounds fast
1) Do not eat sugar
Everyone know sugar will store fat. It has empty calories so it has no nutritional value at all. Avoid all processed sugary snacks, such as candy, sodas, ice cream, cereal and artificial sweeteners (the bad fake sugar in the pink or yellow packets) and high fructose syrup. If you are craving something sweet eat berries or an apple, which are naturally low in sugar. Stay away from the other fruits because it has too much sugar even though it's a fruit. All berries are low in sugar and jammed packed with vitamins and minerals and it won't spike your blood sugar too high like other artificial sweeteners.
2) Eat lots of fruits and vegtebles
Fruits and vegetables, especially leafy green veggies is a great way of getting your daily fiber and it's rich in vitamins and minerals. These are natural carbohydrates that will keep you energized throughout the day and will make you healthy inside and out. Your hair will love it and your skin will glow. The best way to get veggies in your diet is to make a smoothie and this way it will go directly into your body and cells faster absorption into the blood stream.
3) Drink lots of water
Drinking half your body weight in water can flush out toxins out of your body. Water is especially important for all aspects of life, such as delivering oxygen to all organs of your body. Without water we couldn't function well and we would die. So drink water even though it might be hard for you. If you are not used to drinking plain water then you could mix 2 ounces of juice with 6 ounces of water to get you started. Then you could slowly tapper off the juice and just drink water plainly.
4) Exercise
Getting at least 30 minutes of exercise daily could make a huge difference in weight loss. You could possibly lose more than 5 pounds if you exercise daily. I recommend taking a nice walk outside for about 30 minutes, but if you are not used to walking that long I suggest starting at 15 minutes then gradually increasing your preferred length of time you would like to walk.
Other exercises are excellent are weight training, aerobics, circuit training, playing any sports, running, biking, hiking etc. Basically if you start doing any type of exercise you will see results and you will feel healthier. It should be fun and get a friend or spouse involved with you because in that way you both will motivate each other to your target weight loss goal.
5) Have some protein
Eating organic chicken, meat, or fish is the best way to go. Eat in moderation and don't over indulge in meat. You can also eat more beans and other sources of plant protein to get your daily intake, such as soy beans, tofu, almonds, pecans, walnuts. You don't have to eat meat to get your protein.
6) Reward your self
After you have met your goal weight for either the week or the month what ever it may be, reward yourself for a job well done. You can indulge in a slice of cake or some ice cream or it doesn't need to be food. You can go out to a movie or buy that dress you always wanted. Just remember not to go overboard and eat the whole cake. Moderation is the key when you want to indulge.
Stay by these tips and you will reach your goal weight. This worked for me and I have kept the weight off for a long time now. You can even eliminate some health problems according to some individuals, which plague some people today like diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, arthritis and obesity. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE! Remember you can do it! Healthy bodies equal healthy lives!
