How To Lose Weight In Weeks
In today's world of fast-paced development and travel, there are a few things which seem to have gone missing. Listen up: Skipping meals will not make you lose weight faster. If a hectic day makes a sit-down meal impossible, stash an energy bar or a piece of fruit in your car or tote, keep snacks in your office desk drawer, and make a point of getting up to grab a nosh — anything that will keep you from going hungry! Going long periods of time without food does double-duty harm on our healthy eating efforts by both slowing down your metabolism, and priming you for another binge later in the day. (Think: You've skipped breakfast and lunch, so you're ready to takedown a whole turkey by dinner!) Make it your mission to eat three meals and two snacks every day, and don't wait longer than three to four hours without eating. Set a "snack alarm" on your phone if needed.
To lose fat, burn more calories than you eat. To estimate how many calories you use each day, multiply your body weight in pounds times 15. At 160 pounds, you expend 2,400 calories if you live a relatively active lifestyle - fewer if you have a high body-fat percentage or are sedentary. Subtract 500 from the number of calories needed for maintenance, and eat that amount of calories each day to shed a pound every week. For faster results, add regular exercise to your routine.
