Six Tips To Help You Lose Some Fat By Christmas
Christmas is on it’s way. This means it’s time to start getting serious about your weight loss if you want to lose some of that fat before the holiday photos are taken.
Yeah, people want to lose weight before Christmas so that they look stunning and sexy when the party season begins! However is it really possible to lose all your weight before the onset of Christmas? Well, if you work hard and start early then of course it is possible to get rid of fat before December 25th.
It is well known that in order to lose weight, you must consume fewer calories than what you burn. Most people however, take this conception it to an extreme point and believe that if they don’t consume any calories at all, they would be able to lose weight pretty fast! So they begin starving.
This is totally wrong! If you starve, not only will your health deteriorate, but your metabolic rate will also become much lower. When your body realizes that you are not providing it with enough calories, it will hold on to the fat instead of burning it, so that it can use this fat for producing energy in future.
Do you still think that you could lose weight faster by starving?
Remember that when it comes to weight loss, there are certain rules and guidelines you need to keep in mind:
1. You cannot lose more than 1-2 pounds of fat per week; if you try to lose more, you will lose muscles instead of fat!
2. Secondly, you shouldn’t attempt to reduce your daily calorie intake by more than 500 calories. For most people this means that you should take in at least 1,200 calories per day.
3. The third thing to keep in mind is that if you want to lose weight fast, you cannot expect to achieve your goal by dieting alone. You need to add some exercises to your daily routine so as to accelerate the weight loss process. In my opinion, cardio and strength training are best exercises for quick weight loss!
4. The fourth rule of weight loss is that spot reduction of fat is impossible, no matter what others tell you. You may think that you will lose your love handles by doing sit-ups and abdominal crunches constantly; however, you might be surprised to notice that you are losing fat somewhere else instead of your targeted area! When it comes to weight loss, it is your BODY which will decide where to start burning fat first!
5. The fifth rule of weight loss is that calorie counting is unnecessary. Many people think that this is the surefire way to keep their calorie intake in check, and it might be true, but isn’t it too tedious and boring? I will tell you of an easier way to keep your calorie intake in check. If you get rid of fast foods such as biscuits, cakes, soft drinks, soda and other junk foods, and eat fruits and vegetables instead, you will obviously be consuming fewer calories than usual and hence, you won’t need to keep track of your calorie consumption!
6. The last rule of weight loss is that you must drink plenty of water every day, for it is water which will keep your metabolic rate high and help you burn fat fast. An adult should drink at least eight glasses of water per day, if not more!
If you follow these six rules of weight loss then I can guarantee that you would be able to lose some weight even before you could hear the jingling of the Christmas bells!
