How To Jump Start Your Weight Loss

There is nothing more motivating in weight loss than seeing progress.  If you begin on a new diet or exercise program, it is difficult to stick with it if results are slow.  Losing 2 lbs per month would be difficult even for the most determined individual.  However a program that helps you drop several pounds the first week is extremely encouraging and a person will often continue with that.

The first, most surefire way to jump start weight loss and keep a person motivated to stick to it is by supplementing your program with a safe and effective weight loss product.  A product such as Apidexin has helped people lose 4-7 pounds the very first week.  With these kind of results, it’s easier to adhere to a boring diet or an intense exercise program.

A second way to jump start weight loss is to find out where your current dietary intake lies, and cutting back.  Keeping a food journal for three or more days will give you good insight into your average caloric intake.  Once you are able to assess where you are, you can see where to cut back.   Slashing 500 calories per day for 7 days equals a 3500 calorie deficit.  This is the range most experts claim is necessary to lose 1 lb of fat.  Begin to make substitutions from your food journal to cut back by 500 calories.  Can you replace butter with a no calorie butter spray?  Can you eliminate the afternoon vending machine trip?  Can you substitute your morning muffin for a slice of whole wheat toast?  Eliminate the evening cocktails?  These small changes can add up to 500 calories very quickly.

The third way to jump start weight loss is by increasing the intensity, duration, and frequency of your workouts.  If you generally meet the neighbors for a 30 minute morning walk, increase that to 60 minutes.  If you generally hit the gym 3 times per week, aim for 4-5 times per week instead.

A fourth way to jump start weight loss is to change the routine of your exercise.   Our bodies are amazing at adapting to certain activities.   After 5 years of walking the same route at the same pace, you literally will burn less calories doing that activity.  Your body has figured out how to do it most efficiently.  Changing your exercise with activities you are not accustomed to is a great way to kick things off in a different, more fat burning direction.

Lastly, drink lots of water.  Eliminating any water retention or bloating will not only help you lose pounds more quickly, but also help you to look leaner immediately!   Traditionally we’ve been taught to drink 64 oz or more of water per day.  The buzz is changing as researchers are finding out how different people, climates, and activities are.  The new rule of thumb is the pee test.  If your urine is light yellow, like lemonade, you are adequately hydrated.  If it’s more like apple cider, you need to drink more water.

Using these tips to jump start your weight loss will pay big dividends in the end.  Using a weight loss pill, such as Apidexin or Phenphedrine is a great way to get started.
