Lose 5 Pounds in 5 Weeks
Lose 5 Pounds in 5 Weeks
To lose five pounds in five weeks can be accomplished by following a safe,
effective, and nutritious diet. A weight loss rate of 1 pound per week is
perfect for experiencing lasting, healthy weight loss. Make sure you ask your
doctor if this plan is the right one for you so it will be healthy and
effective.
- Restrict calories moderately. Start by reducing your intake by 200
calories. Also begin to eat more fruit and vegetables instead of fatty or
sugary foods; they contain plenty of fiber and vitamins, which help keep you
full. - Gradually increase your calorie restriction until at the end of the 5
weeks you are eating 500 calories less per day than you used to. Eat a
balanced diet every day. Include one lean source of protein, one serving of
complex carbohydrates, and two to three servings of vegetables and fruit at
each meal. It is suggested that you get your daily percentage of calories in
the following portions: 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates, 20% fat. - Eat five to six small meals per day, spaced about two to three hours
apart. If you eat before you get hungry, you don’t need to eat much. If you
wait until you feel hungry, you will eat far more than you need to. Now, we
know this is really inconvenient for anybody who actually goes to school or
has a job so just make sure you eat small but adequate portions whenever you
eat and have a healthy lifestyle. - Exercise by walking 30-45 minutes every day. Do not use ankle weights as
this is the leading cause of orthopedic injury. Walk up hills or on inclines
as your conditioning improves. You can jog for 20-30 minutes a day for those
who have less time. - Resist food cravings by brushing your teeth when you feel hungry. Food
cravings are often strong in the late afternoon, and if brushing your teeth
fails you should eat one of your meals during this time. Remember, when you
get cravings, you are burning fat so sip some water or have a light, low
calorie snack. Fruits and veggies are great.
