Hi there,
You too can lose weight quickly by counting the calories you consume. Remember the basis for weight loss is to burn more calories than you consume. If you want to take this weight loss route, you will have to learn how to count every single calorie that you consume.
To lose weight in a short space of time, you would have to do more than counting the calories you consume. You would have to include exercise and eating healthily to ensure you get the full benefits of counting the calories. Calorie counting is easy and anyone can count their own calories.
The best part of calorie counting is that you get to eat whatever you want to eat, but then you have to burn off all the calories that you have consumed. That can be hard though, so you will need to exercise a bit of restraint. You can’t just go and gobble on 3 burgers and 3 packets of fries, because that will take you more than 3 hours to burn those calories at the gym. It makes sense to combine this with exercise, because whatever calories you have accumulated during the day, have to be burned off before you go to bed. Those calories cannot be left to hang around because then they will turn into fat.
What I love the best about calorie counting is that it forces your awareness on the type of foods that you put into your stomach. With this method, you will learn to be conscious about the foods and the amount of calories they contain. You will have to consciously know when you choose to eat junk food, and the amount of work that will be required of you to burn off those calories.
Ok, so you have decided that this is the route you want to take. How exactly do you start to count every calorie that passes your lips? It has been said that women need about 2000 calories for optimal function and men need about 2500 calories, the actual figure for each individual will be determined by your height, and your built. Other factors that would come into play are the muscle you have, as muscles burn calories.
The first step that you will need to figure out is how much calories do you need for your body to function optimally, your doctor/dietitian can help you with that. Let’s look at an example:
Say based on your muscles, height and your build, you need only 1900 calories a day. If you only consume 1400 instead of the 1900 calories, that is 500 calories less of what your body requires for optimal function. That will translate to a weight loss of roughly a pound a week, which is healthy and attainable.
If you want to accelerate your weight loss to more than a pound a week, you will need to continue to consume less than what your body requires, so that your body can start using the fat that is already stored for the extra energy.
As you can see this is a really quick way to take control of your weight. It is simple to do and anyone can do it.
