The 6 Tips for Loosing Weight Quickly .

Ever since I went through my growth spurt in my teen years, I've been obese. I finally said to myself "I'm tired of being fat and people looking at me, I'm going to be thin and muscular". I actully accomplished that over the last year. Now I run every day. I feel great and I eat like a horse because of my high metabolism.

You too can have what I have and learn how to lose weight quickly. You just have to commit yourself to a whole new lifestyle. Here's some weight loss tips:

1. If you want to lose weight quickly, try some intervals. Intervals are a combination of running and walking. For example: You can run for 5 minutes and walk for 5 minutes then repeat. This pumps your metabolism up and also allows you to have a "resting" period while walking. Do this every day and the fat will melt away and you will notice your clothes getting bigger... or you getting smaller!

2. Eat Breakfast! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you don't eat it, your body doesn't give itself the jumpstart it needs to keep a high metabolism throughout the day. Make sure to eat within 2 hours of waking up.

3. Do not eat right before you go to bed. This is just asking for trouble since it would be extra energy your body stores which translates into fat. Give yourself a couple of hours in between that last snack and bedtime.

4. Stay away from processed foods, soda, foods with fructose syrup, hydrogenated oils and trans fats. When you go food shopping, try to pick a variety of foods, preferably whole grain and organic foods. If you're going for the deli meats, stay lean by choosing turkey or roast beef.

5. Water is important! Drink at least 8 cups of water a day. This keeps you hydronated and flushes out your body of toxins. Your body consists of mostly water anyways.

6. When you're working out, make sure you give each half of your body a rest every day. For example if you work your upper body on Tuesday, only work on your lower body on Wednesday, alternating every day. This gives your body a chance to actully build muscle onto your body.

Please remember that strength training is a very important role in weight loss. Ever hear of the term "turn fat into muscle"? That's not literally what happens but it is pretty darn close. When you build extra muscle, your body needs more energy. This is why body builders eat alot. Their metabolisms are very high, they are very muscular, therefore they have low body fat.

Skip 100 Calories Today, Lose 10 Lbs. This Year

You can drop ten pounds this year without lifting a weight, without starting a diet, and without lacing up your running shoes. In fact, it’s what you DON’T do that will get rid of those ten lbs. Simply DON’T eat those extra 100 calories a day.

100 calories are easy to find – we’ll go over that later. Here’s is why it works: By leaving out 100 calories per day, you are eating 36,500 less calories a year. (100 calories a day x 365 days in a year = 36,500 calories). It takes a decrease of 3,500 calories to lose one pound of fat. A decrease of 35,000 adds up to 10 pounds of fat…10 pounds of excess fat off of your body!

According to the American Heart Association, as of 2005, there were 140 million overweight or obese people in the United States. 72 million of them were men, 68 million women. Overweight is defined as a BMI of 25+. Obesity is a BMI of 30+. Overweight and Obesity -- Statistics.

Just think of how well you can do if you add in exercise, too. If you burn 100 calories a day through exercise and skip another 100 from food, it will equal 200 calories a day. That, in turn, will equal twenty pounds of fat gone from your body this year! Burning 100 calories with exercise is easy: (at a casual pace, for a150lbs. person) Ride a bike for 10 minutes, jog for 12 minutes, play tennis for 15 minutes, walk for 30 minutes. Start today!
