Do You Want To Get Rid Of 15 Pounds Fast?

Do You Want To Get Rid Of 15 Pounds Fast?

by Winnie Marais

People, who speak about being overweight and wanting to lose weight, many times fail to understand what it is all about. Generally weigh is connected to fat but that is not totally true.

If it is about knocking 15 pounds of the scale then it does not matter if you lose, fat, water or muscle. If your objective is to get rid of that bulge in the middle, you need to shake 15 pounds of fat as fast as possible

Whether or not you lose fat or pounds, it is important to know that water is a part of this loss. In fact, in the first days of any diet, water makes for the most loss in weight.

There are countless sites on the internet that claim to be able to show you how to lose 15 pounds fast. What they don't always tell you is that losing weight fast can be dangerous to your health. Of course, it all depends on what you consider 'fast'. For some people, a month would be fast while others see it as something more immediately, like a few days or a week.

The realistic goal would be to lose 15 pounds in a month, because it can be achieved more realistic. But it can be dangerous if it is not done correctly.

The best way to lose 15 pounds fast is by eating foods such as meat that use more of your energy to digest it. You could eat nothing but meat, but that wouldn't be healthy either. Your body needs a well-rounded diet that provides all the required nutrients. You can eat a well-balanced diet and still lose weight if you know which foods to choose.

Before any diet program begins take measurements of you weight and fat content. Using special calipers (usually part of a weight loss/fitness kit) take measurement of different parts of the body for fat content. While busy running the weight loss program always has these figures at hand to monitor you progress

Here are some help in what you can do to lose 15 pounds fast.

1) Avoid foods that cause high water retention such as salt which will help in weight loss.

2) Eat 5-6 small meals rather than breakfast, lunch and dinner as this keeps your digestive system active

3) More energy is needed to digest when eating foods such as chicken, beef, salmon, cheese, carrots, pumpkins, asparagus and beans.

4) To boost metabolism drink water throughout the day.

5) Exercise your muscles frequent as this increase metabolism naturally.

Stay with your program by taking regular measurement every week or two. Adjust your weight loss program if you don not get the desired results
