Fast Weight Loss – Part 2 - Health Plus Digest

Let’s face it, when we decide that it’s time to lose weight we want the weight to come off quickly and painlessly. When those first few pounds come off easily we are more apt to stick with the diet plan and continue to move forward, believing that we will be successful. The real trick is to get past that initial three to 5 pounds and move forward with the consistent weight loss each and every week that is based on sound nutritional and dietary information.

Here are a few tips to help you get started losing those initial pounds and motivating yourself to keep moving forward. Take a good long look at what you are really eating every single day. Use a short-term diary to record what you eat, we when you ate it and how much of it you are eating. This is incredibly important. Most people have no idea how much food they are eating every single day until they begin to write it down. Our minds will actually trick us into thinking that we are doing better or worse than we are actually doing.

Do not forget to write down how much water, soda and alcohol that you are drinking as well. Everything that goes into your mouth counts. Be honest with yourself because it is only yourself that you cheat when you don’t write everything down.

Take a look at your exercise patterns. Do you exercise? How much and for how long? At this time if you do not exercise, start to incorporate something into every day of your daily regimen. Even if you only begin by walking for 10 minutes every day, this will help you to lose that much more quickly in your quest for fast weight loss.
