Quick Tips To Fast Healthy Weight Loss

So many today are asking the question of how can I lose weight in a very short amount of time.

The tips I am going to give you should help with weight loss but should also help you to keep that weight off at the same. I believe both are important to many different people as they struggle against the waistline getting bigger and bigger.

Before we get started, I want to mention that I don't agree with the idea that just because we get older we have to get fat and unhealthy. I do believe that all we have to do is take a look at the life style of the individual and their eating habits. Then we can see a common thread that many eat what they want and don't stay active. I think all we have to do is look at our kids today. We can see the trend of video games and eating junk food and fast food so that by the age of 12 or younger many have health issues such as high blood pressure and diabetes. This often gets excused as hereditary when really the habits have been learned to sit around and eat instead of getting out and playing sports and games. Burgers, fries and sodas have replaced healthy meals and exercise.

We want to lose weight fast but do it in a healthy way

I would start by drinking lots of water. I know water may seem boring to you but God did design our body to be mostly water and it needs water to flush the poisons out and to not retain water in the tissue and in fat. Studies have shown that the majority of people today are in a constant dehydrated state even though they drink lots of pop or sports or energy drinks. They also find that even though we take vitamins, we are still deficient in minerals. When our body is full of poison, the liver can't keep up, The body robs minerals from the bones and other vital places to try and compensate which makes the adrenal glands work harder..

This next tip goes right along with the first tip hand in hand. Put a little fresh lemon in the water. This will give the water flavor and it will also alkaline the water so your body already will readily absorb. Drink this lemon water in the morning before you ever eat and several times a day to help decrease water retention and the releasing of the poisons in the body that cause the body to retain water. Detox is so important to a quick healthy weight loss and a restoring of energy and health. You could also add a dab of cayenne pepper to your lemon a couple times a week to maker it a stronger alkaline process and also aid in the detoxifying of the body (I do mean a dab). Notice there is no soda pop anywhere in this article. Pop actually is extremely acidic and is next to battery acid in the PH scale. It also increases weight gain, due to chemicals, especially diet pop.

The next thing I recommend is to lower your sodium intake. Sodium causes the body to retain water and store it as well. Table salt and canned goods are the two largest sources for sodium. We can use sea salt instead of table salt and eat fresh vegetables instead of canned foods to do away with a lot of sodium.

These simple diet changes will cause rapid weight loss but is also a good idea to add exercise to the routine so the muscles can burn fat while you sleep and also speed your metabolism up even more, putting you and your body into overdrive.
