Lose 10 Pounds Fast With 5 Keys To Weight-Loss

So you want to lose 10 pounds fast? There are so many diets and training routines out there that all promise you can achieve huge success by using their product. The fact is there are some simple ideas that, if you apply them consistently will result in continued weight-loss which is safe and healthy. In this article I talk about my 5 keys to weight-loss and I am certain that by just following the steps outlined here you will lose weight very quickly indeed and have every chance to lose 10 pounds fast.

A major key to help you lose fat is to make sure you do not starve yourself. This is where many people who follow traditional dieting methods fall short. If your body is not getting an appropriate amount of fuel it begins to enter it's 'starvation mode' which means you will burn far less calories during everyday activity. The metabolism decreases and this is not conducive to fast weight-loss. Besides the obvious torment of traditional methods and the fact that muscle wastage rather than fat-loss is often their result, they also increase the chances of regaining any weight lost during the diet after its completion and any weight put back on is invariably fat. If you want to lose 10 pounds fast surely you want that 10 pounds to be made up of fat?!

This is what causes yo-yo dieting. You starve yourself for a few weeks and then end the program only to 'celebrate' the finish by finally being able to eat those foods you missed so much. This results in weight regain, leaving you depressed and frustrated and ready for another dieting spell. The cycle continues and is extremely unhealthy for both your body and mental health.

Below I give you my 5 keys to weight-loss that will help you to lose 10 pounds fast. If you are one of those people that constantly seem to be dieting you will find that making the following small changes to your lifestyle will greatly improve your long-term weight loss goals;

1. Eat 4-6 small meals per day, balancing your intake of nutrients. This helps increase metabolism as your body is constantly working to process the food, it also means you don't go hungry or get tires and will avoid you having to cheat by eating sugary foods to increase energy levels and stave off hunger pangs.

2. Start exercising - it may seem obvious but it is amazing how many people simply diet without any exercise. Even simple things such as parking your car in the space furthest from the shop, walking the dog or taking the stairs rather than the elevator will help. Activity has been proven to reduce the chance of depression and obesity and is a great way to stay young.

3. Use weight training combined with aerobic exercise - you don't need to lift massively heavy weights - just do a little, it helps regain any muscle mass lost during dieting and the aerobic workout will help increase the appetite appropriately. Muscle is important! When you increase your muscle mass, your resting metabolism gets a boost, and leads your body to burn more calories, even when you are doing absolutely nothing. On crash diets muscle is consumed by the body for energy so most of your weight-loss will be down to muscle wastage and not fat-loss slowing down your metabolism - do you get why 'starvation' diets don't work? They may claim you can lose 10 pounds fast but what use is that if its all down to muscle wastage and you can't keep it off?!

4. Eat Breakfast - this kick starts your metabolism for the day, meaning you will burn more calories and you won't get those 10 a.m. cravings, at which time many people make bad sugar-loaded snack decisions. Studies have shown that people who it a healthy breakfast actually lose more weight than people who skip it all together!

5. Drink Water - Your body is made up out of 60-65% water. Water is responsible for transporting important nutrients to the body's cells and getting rid of waste.

There are very few diets that help you lose 10 pounds fast and fewer still that can provide the continuous and long lasting weight-loss you are looking for. Ultimately it is up to you to get committed, get motivated and get determined to lose that unsightly, unhealthy excess weight - permanently. It is not easy, I know from experience, but I also know that it is definitely possible to lose 10 pounds fast or even more! Just by following the 5 keys to weight-loss above will give you a far greater chance of success.
