Fast Ways To Lose Weight – The Beginning
Has the media intrigued you into looking for fast ways to lose weight? Have the recent Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, Lindora, and other such commercials inspired you to do something about the extra weight you have? Congratulations, you have come to the right place. Weight loss is a huge commitment and searching for answers is the first step. But now that you are here, if you are looking for me to endorse the prepared foods diet methods, you are mistaken.I must say, those weight loss systems work. You must buy the food, microwave the food and then eat the small portions. You will also receive many losing weight tips from their prescribed program. You will be given the right amount of calories to lose weight. While they teach you to eat the small portions, they do not teach you to prepare your own food and eat healthy meals. What they do not teach you is the importance of nutrition. They also do not teach you about the negative effects of microwaving food which I will cover in a future post.To start, I would suggest that upon waking in the morning you drink one liter of water. Water allows your kidneys to function properly. When your body receives adequate water, it will also eliminate the extra water in your body. Thus allowing you to lose water weight. As you continue to give your body all the water it could ask for, it gets rid of what it doesn’t need. In addition, your body functions at its maximum efficiency when it is fully hydrated. Oh and yes, you will eat less. Make sure you drink at least 1/2 of your body weight in ounces of water.Eat at least six meals per day. Yes, it is one of the fast ways to lose weight. Research shows that eating throughout the day will keep your metabolism up, thus allowing you to burn calories to lose weight. It is not an easy request to keep up. It is important that you plan your meals ahead of time or you will find yourself reaching for the very junk you do not wish to eat because you are desperate.If you are interested in my story and my journey through my weight loss battle, I encourage you to visit www.naturescureforhealth.comIn my next post I will discuss fasting weight loss, and meal replacement smoothies.
Fasting For Weight Loss
Many people have asked me if I have lost weight through fasting. As I reflect on my weight loss journey, I would have to say yes. But it was not the type of fast that
most would consider. I have done a variety of fasts for cleansing and detoxification purposes let me stress that I have not done fasting for weight loss.
It is my belief that when you cleanse and detoxify your system, your body will have the ability to absorb more of the nutrients in the food that you are already eating.
Because your body is absorbing more nutrients, you will eat less food and feel better. Consequently, you will lose weight because you are eating less.
When I began looking into cleanses I started with what is called a Daniel Fast. In the bible in the book of Daniel you will find an account of these fasts. Basically the Daniel fast is a diet consisting of fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and grain. During this fast you may NOT have all meat and animal products, solid fats, dairy products, sweeteners, processed foods, fried foods, or drinks except water.
I did this fast for 21 days and I lost 16 pounds. I ate whenever I was hungry, I just
limited my intake or what I ate. This is the only fast that I lost weight on and it stayed off. Remember my goal was not to lose weight.
The second fast I did was also as a cleanse and that was the Arise and Shine cleanse. On this cleanse I did lose weight but not that much. I lost 9 pounds but I gained 4 of
them back.
The third and final cleanse that I have used is the master cleanse. I did this on for 10 days and l lost a total of 4 pounds after gaining some of the weight back.
Even though I lost weight as a result of the fasts, that was not my intention going in to them. I must stress once again that I did not do these for weight loss. One important issue to remember is that when you are fasting you will lose water weight.
When looking at the fasts as fast ways to lose weight, I would choose the Daniel fast or Daniel diet. I encourage you to read up and study about the different fasts. I will post links for more information soon.
