You Can Lose 20 Pounds the Healthy Way
Do you wish you could lose 20 pounds in time for a special occasion coming up soon- like a wedding, a vacation or a family reunion? Do you find yourself panicking whenever you look at the calendar and realize that you need to start losing weight SOON, or it will be too late? Well, stop panicking and start doing something about it now. It's NOT too late.
There are several things you can do in order to lose weight quickly and safely. Even a fairly large amount of weight, like 20 pounds, is not impossible to lose in a relatively short amount of time. You just have to stay focused and be persistent.
Oatmeal for breakfast. It tastes good, and it's good for you. The fiber in oatmeal absorbs the fat and cholesterol from your bloodstream and helps your body get rid of it. It's a great way to start losing those 20 pounds.
Drink lots and lots of cold water instead of soda, or so-called "energy drinks" (which are full of sugar). Your body actually burns a few extra calories dealing with cold water versus, say, room temperature water. Who knew? Besides, drinking water makes you feel full, and it's better for you than soda or other sweetened drinks, even diet drinks.
Eat LOTS of fruit - especially citrus, apples and bananas. Apples have tons of fiber, which fills you up and helps flush out the fat. Bananas also have fiber and potassium, which is good for your heart. Citrus fruits, like oranges, grapefruits and lemons, again have tons of fiber AND tons of Vitamin C, both of which help maintain a healthy body and weight.
Not only does fiber fill you up, it also aids in digestion, moving things right along, so your body doesn't have time to absorb every last calorie out of your last meal!
Want great taste AND quick weight loss? Eat spicy foods! The spice enhances your metabolism, which makes you burn more calories, more quickly. Spicy foods also help your immune system fight off infection. Don't eat too much, though. A little goes a long way.
Two of the best foods to eat when trying to lose weight are FISH and CALCIUM-RICH FOODS. Why? It's simple. Both are loaded with protein, which fills you up like nothing else. When you're satisfied, you don't eat as much. In addition, the omega-3 in fish is terrific for your heart, and it may have appetite-suppressant capabilities.
Exercise shouldn't be a chore. Find something you like doing (or THINK you might like doing) and try it for a week. Swimming, walking, jumping rope (Double-Dutch is optional!), bike-riding or even roller blading can be fun and will burn fat. Nobody is asking you to be a triathlete, just get moving. It will help you lose weight faster.
Following these simple, easy tips will help you shed those 20 extra pounds before you know it. - 17268
