WEIGHT LOSS
TIPS
Losing those
last 15 pounds
Take your
weight loss slowly and you'll be able to keep that 5 kg (10 lbs)
off for a long time. Be sure to treat your self well because you
want to be beautiful on your wedding day, and you can only be
beautiful when you're happy.
If you want to lose 5 kg, it will take a minimum of 3 weeks. Don't
do anything drastic -- that is, don't completely change your life
to lose 5 kg. I have some suggestions for you that will help you
lose weight gradually in a healthy way:
1) Drink only water -- no teas, coffees, Coca Cola, juices, etc.
Water has zero calories and will help you body flush out the
excess fat as you lose weight. I am not familiar with Zera water,
but if it has zero calories, go on drinking it.
2) Eat the same foods you always eat, but eat only 1/2 as much as
you usually eat. I have found that you will not lose weight by
making a big change to your diet. By eating the same food but only
1/2 as much, you will be able to enjoy your usual diet but you
will
reduce the amount of calories you ingest. You must eat to give
your body fuel to keep it working, so fasting is NOT the way to
lose weight. In fact, when you fast, your body over-reacts to the
food deprivation and will change your chemistry so that it will
hold on
to your fat for protection. If you are too hungry when you cut
your food by half, try eating 2/3 of your usual portions. YOU MUST
EAT TO STAY HEALTHY.
3) To tone your thighs, take long, brisk walks. Your pace should
be faster than normal but not as fast as running. You want to get
your heart pumping a little faster than normal but you do not want
to put too much stress on your heart. You should walk for about 45
minutes to an hour a day, and if you can find a few gentle hills,
your walk will be additionally slimming. Going up and down hills
is a great way to tone your legs.
4) To tone your tummy, try this twice a day:
* While sitting in an upright position on your chair, tighten your
abdominal muscles and breathe in.
* Hold this position for 10 seconds.
* Breathe out and release the abdominal muscles.
* Repeat this exercise 30 times.
