I am always amazed at how much weight the contestants of The Biggest Loser seem to drop in their first week on the show. It just goes to prove that it is possible to drop weight in a short period of time. Now while there is no way you’d be able to shed massive amounts of pounds over such as small time frame like they do, you can lose weight in days if you make a plan and stick to it. This article will show you the best and healthiest way that you can drop some pounds before the weekend arrives.
The Biggest Loser contestants exercise around 6 hours a day (or more) and are on a very limited diet. That is how they are able to drop such massive numbers. Unfortunately unless you signed on to the television show in the past week or so, you probably don’t have the same hours in a day or instructor cracking a whip to get you moving that they do. So how do you do it?
Losing weight is really just a simple mathematics equation: you need to be expending more energy than you eat. Therefore you need to make sure that you burn more fat per day by exercising than you consume in your diet.
To burn the most fat you need to be incorporating both strength and cardio exercises into your day. Aim for at least 30 minutes a day for cardio and an extra 15 to 20 minutes for strength exercises. For an averaged sized person of 155lbs, 30 mins cardio and 15 mins strength should burn around 300-350 calories.
You’ll also burn calories during the day by doing day to day things around the house or office. Even breathing expends some energy.
Next is your diet: To get the most out of your diet you need to start choosing healthier alternatives than what you are currently doing, however that doesn’t mean you should starve yourself. In fact skipping meals and drastically reducing your food can have the opposite effect as your body starts to go into starvation mode and hold on to every bite you eat.
You need to find out how many calories you need to be eating per day for your body size. There are many online calorie counters and calculators for finding out what your daily intake for your weight should be. Stick very closely to those guidelines because they have been proven to work for most people. An average woman of 155lbs needs around 1500 calories per day for fat loss.
By eating around 1500 calories (depending on your specific needs) and burning 350 calories per day you should start seeing the weight drop off within days.
To lose weight even faster, incorporate a healthy eating program that helps drop that fat off your body super quick such as the strip that fat program.
