The biggest event of the year is finally here, only 6 days to go! You have
your outfit all planned out already – you bought those gorgeous shoes and
that stunning dress the minute you had saved up enough money to buy them.
Everything is going according to plan, except the dress which seems to
have become a bit snug on you. Needing some help on how to quickly lose
those extra pounds just before that event? Here are a few tips to help you
out.
The first thing is, immediately overcome the temptation of going on a
crash starvation plan. Some people feel that if they suddenly stop eating,
they would begin to shrink and would finally get to the weight they want.
The problem with a crash starvation diet is that there is a tendency to
take it to extremes, and while you want to look great at that event you
really don’t want to end up fainting and having to leave early. Your body
needs energy to carry you around, and it gets that energy from the food
you eat. Another problem with starving yourself is that by doing so, you
are sending a signal to your body to keep whatever that comes in. It is
the body’s own way of survival. So, like never before, whenever you eat,
either before or after your plan is over, the body stores up everything it
can as glycogen, and you would most likely end up being fatter for it.
The second thing is, if you are planning to embark on some exercise plan,
give your body enough time for the results to kick in. That is, do not
start exercising the day before the event. Prepare your body with warm-ups
and small exercises before you jump into the routine proper. Research has
shown that it takes at least 3 days for the effects of exercising to start
showing on the weighing scale. So plan your exercises well, and do not
exert your body muscles with overly lengthy exercise sessions or a too
high number of workouts if you do not want to spend the entire event
wincing over aching muscles.
The third thing is, whatever you do, be consistent with it. Usually, when
expecting to lose weight quickly, it is advised that you combine as many
weight loss plans as possible. I recommend a combination of exercise and
reduction in carb intake. Of course, as mentioned earlier, go easy on your
body with the exercises; do not put your body under undue strain. There
are many simple exercises that do not require contorting your body or
pulling any muscle unnaturally and only require a good length of time –
say 20 minutes daily – to have significant effect. With the diet, please
see your doctor before you embark on a complete change in diet plan to
avoid adverse effects.

When most people consider an exercise program, they usually feel weak and even defeated already because in their mind they picture a lengthy series of grueling, muscle-straining, difficult workout steps that only leave them with body aches and probably no change in their weight situation. But the fact really is that exercise does not have to be that challenging. Sometimes all that is really needed to lose some extra pounds is probably just a change in some lifestyle patterns; like using the stairs instead of the elevator, getting rid of the remote control and getting up to change the TV channel, parking your car a few blocks away from the office so that you get a little exercise or even parking the car at home altogether, taking out the garbage every night so that you get the chance to exert yourself after dinner. These seemingly small steps are often overlooked by people with the excuse that they could not have much effect in getting weight off but if they are consistently done they would bring about significant weight loss.
There is room for improvement in every person’s way of living; all they really need to do is to take an objective look at their lives to see what can be made better. Some of the options listed above can be implemented by everyone; some are not even feasible for some people, so you can just pick which one is easy for you to put into practice. Asides from the simple steps listed above, other exercises to help you lose 15 pounds are cardiovascular exercises as running, skipping and even walking for at least 20 minutes in a day. The trick with these exercises is, just like the simple ones they require consistency, and with time you would see those 15 pounds get shed off, effortlessly.

There are some basic not too difficult things that you can do to help you shed that weight that keeps making you worry or worse still embarrasses you. Lets start with your feeding. Food Proportion The food portion you consume must be in . With this in mind, start taking limited portions of food when you eat .You can measure your food proportion with your fist.Yes.You heard me. Use your fist as a measure. This gives you an idea of just the amount of food you should start taking. You need just enough food to get by but do not starve yourself. Watch your Appetite Levels. Appetite is not hunger. Hunger is the need to eat food while appetite can be said to be the desire for food. It is appetite that controls the volume of food we eat. If you previously had a voracious appetite, you have to reduce it drastically. In a similar manner, if you have a great appetite for sugar food, you will have to watch it. Understanding, analyzing and taking actions to reduce the calorie intake by a small extent such that your hunger levels are well inside limits is a very positive stride to achieve the goal of losing excess weight. Walking is a good cardio exercise. Walking for at least 45 minutes 5 days in a week and resting for two days in a week will help your body gradually adapt to your exercise routine. Gradaually,you can walk everyday. When walking, try to inhale as much fresh air through your nose as possible and exhale through your nose. Your breathing should be synonymous with the pace of your walking. Watch your sweet Tongue Instead of consuming those ice creams and milk shakes that have high calorie content in them, you can take skimmed milk or chocolate milk shake which gives you the same degree of sweetness with low calories in hand.. Make it a habit to search food contents that are good substitutes for high calorie foods and replace the high calorie ones with them..You cant imagine the amount of calories you will be saving yourself from ingesting. Also try to stay on track your weight loss program. Do not complicate not go about it half heartedly.Restrist too much eating and curtailing your voracious appetite is one sure way to stay on track.
