How to Lose Body Fat Quickly

By Jean Han

Have you ever asked yourself how you can lose weight withing a few days in order to get ready for a big event, such as your own wedding so that you may fit into that beautiful wedding gown or dress just this once? Look no further, read on and find out more

It is important to be able to lose weight the right way, that is to say, not to resort to 'miracle' diet pills. You may enjoy weight loss initially but once you stop the pills, the weight comes back again. What you need is a weight loss program and system which allows you to lose weight the right way and as naturally as possible. Some help from certain endorsed products by the health authorities should also be considered given that we are now living in the age of massive improvements in bio-technology.

You must also have realistic expectations; I hope you're not looking to loose 20 pounds in one day! That sort of a thing is not just impossible but also immensely detrimental to your general health. A more reasonable target would be to lose 1 or 2 pounds in a day or two so as to gain a slimmer look. There's a way to do this without sweating in gym (In case you don't like that) or starving yourself to death. Here are a few things which you can do for the same:

1. Increase your water intake.

Water is the most important constituent of your body. After all, 85 percent of your body is water. It helps in healthy digestion of food and also removes waste products from your body. Simply put, it acts as a natural purifier and hence will cleanse your entire system in a natural way. This is very important since your internal system must operate smoothly for easy weight loss. In case you workout regularly then your body needs even more water since you lose it consistently (as sweat) in the gym. Make sure you drink at least six liters of water on a daily basis.

2. Take smaller but more meals in a day I bet this one comes as a surprise! Let me elaborate. Instead of eating three large meals throughout the day you must eat five to six small meals at regular 2 to 3 hour intervals. The key phrase here is "small meals" meaning you're not eating to satisfy your complete appetite but rather just eating enough so as to get by until the next meal. A great way to do this is to buy those small snacks that have one serving of 100 calorie packages. You might have to look for the ones which you like since some of them taste pretty nasty.

Remember, that to lose weight you need to be burning more calories than you intake and hence you must eat natural foods which the body can burn easily. You also need to make a daily reading of the amount of calorie you intake. Just maintain a calorie diary in which you jot down the calorie content of every single item that you ate throughout the day.

3. Exercise regularly

In order to lose weight, you need to ensure that what you eat is less than how much energy or food is being used up by your body. Essentially, you need to exert more and burn up more food than you consume it. An active lifestyle could mean doing many things with the objective of expending all the food that you have consumed. You could jog, go shopping and walk, dont take the lifts but walk up flights of steps instead...etc. Just be conscious of the need to burn more calories and you will be fine.
