5 Ways to Get Fit and Slim Fast

5 things anyone can do to slim down and get fit fast are:

1.
Energize Yourself
Ways you can do this include getting enough
sleep, eating lots of fresh vegetables and fruit
and exercising regularly.

2. Eat an all natural diet
I agree with this lots of good fresh fruit and
vegetables, good quality protien, good oils, and
whole grains; perferably in that order. Please
also include some high quality whole food
supplements in your diet that are what we call
nutrient dense (our soils do not contain
enough minerals and we need to make sure we
are getting high enough amounts of minerals,
vitamins, antioxidants and enzymes).

3. Do high intensity exercise a few times
per week
High intensity exercise is a great way to burn
fat and boost your heart, if you find this
difficult try looking at a vibration platform to
get you fit enough to workout at a high
intensity (it can make it so much easier). Also it
has now been scientifically proven that
creating small bursts of intensity within a
workout can be just as or more useful than a
full high intensity workout. So in a ratio of a
count of 8 to 12; go hard for 8 seconds and
slower for 12 repeat until workout is finished.

4. Do strength training
Resistance training is vital to keep your bones
strong and your muscles toned, and toned
muscles accelerate your metabolism and burn
unwanted fat; this can be done with weights
your body weight or on a vibration platform.

5. Snack often
This is what I like to call grazing, graze at your
food rather than try to eat it all in one sitting at
a meal. Grazing is a natural way of eating and
can actually help to raise your metabolism. One
caution: if you are insulin resistant or leptin
resistant this will be counterproductive until
you have it under control. See my eBook "Sick,
Tired & Overweight" for more information on
this and the recommendations for these
metabolic syndromes.
These are all great recommendations with
certain proviso's, not all of us are young
enough or slim enough to tackle them straight
away. I want you all to know that there are
ways for everyone to get to the place in their
journey where they can read a blog like this
and know that they can use all of these
recommendations easily.
Taking care to educate yourself on the proper
lifestyle recommendations if you are older or
have a metabolic syndrome (the modern
epidemic) or are already overweight and find it
difficult to exercise (use a vibration platform to
speed up your weight loss and toning) you can
be healthy and slim.

Lose 15 Pounds in a Month: Free Sample Exercise Plan for you

In order to lose 15 pounds in a month, you'll need
to follow a vigorous fitness routine and engage in
physical activity each day. It's important to
continue switching up your work outs in order to
shock and stimulate your muscles and
metabolism, and to keep from reaching a fitness
and weight loss plateau. Here is what a typical
week of fitness should look like in order to lose
this type of weight:

Day ONE
Start your week off with a metabolism boost, and
engage in a form of intense cardio for an hour.
During this exercise session, your heart rate
should be elevated, your breath should be short,
and your sweat glands should be activated.
Choose any type of cardio you'd like, whether it
be jogging, swimming, biking, hiking or using a
fitness machine. Follow up your cardio session
with at least 15 minutes of abdominal exercises.

Day TWO
On day 2, you should focus on strength training,
and spend an hour lifting weights and performing
other strengthening exercises, such as squats,
lunges and planks. It would be ideal to take an
hour long weight lifting class or spend this time
with a personal training if you're just starting out.
After your weight lifting session, hop on a fitness
machine for 30 minutes. This can be a bike,
Stairmaster, elliptical trainer or treadmill, as long
as it's a different activity than you performed the
previous day.

Day THREE
Treat your muscles right on this third day with
either a Pilates or yoga class, to stretch them out
after all that strength training and keep them
looking great. These flexibility classes will tone,
lengthen and strengthen your muscles, while
burning calories, and are important to include in
your fitness routine. On the third day, also get
outside to enjoy an hour of moderate activity.
Maybe you can speed walk through your favorite
trail or take a bike ride along the coast.

Day FOUR
On day 4, participate in a vigorous fitness class
that lasts at least an hour and simultaneously
incorporates both cardio and strength training.
Try a boot camp class, a circuit training class, or
anything else that constantly switches up the
exercises. This will enable you to burn more
calories in less time and keep your metabolism
revved throughout the day.

Day FIVE
Try another challenging class on day 5, but this
once should solely focus on cardio. Perhaps you
can participate in a spinning class or cardio
kickboxing. Follow this up with 15-30 minutes of
abdominal work and possibly some yoga or
Pilates.

Day SIX
On day 6, spend an hour and a half in the gym.
Pick a cardio machine to stay on for 45-60
minutes, and hit the weight room for 30-45
minutes.

Day SEVEN
Take day 7 to relax and give your muscles a
break; you deserve it! Don't be completely idle,
however, and consider a light walk or some low-
intensity yoga.
To lose 15 pounds in a month, you must
continuously keep moving. Couple your workout
routine with a healthy diet, and ensure you're
consuming the right amount of calories to fuel
your workouts.

Lose Weight Fast: How to Do It Safely

Sick of crash diets and fad diets? Follow
these healthy tips:

Working on weight loss? Then you probably want
results -- fast.
Let me save you some time: skip the fad diets.
Their results don't last. And you have healthier
options you can start on -- today!
You can safely lose 3 or more pounds a week at
home with a healthy diet and lots of exercise,
says weight loss counselor Katherine Tallmadge,
RD.
How to Lose Weight Fast
If you burn 500 more calories than you eat every
day for a week, you should lose about 1-2
pounds.
If you want to lose weight faster, you'll need to
eat less and exercise more.
For instance, if you take in 1,050 to 1,200
calories a day, and exercise for one hour per day,
you could lose 3-5 pounds in the first week, or
more if you weigh more than 250 pounds. It's
very important not to cut calories any further --
that's dangerous.
Limiting salt and starches may also mean losing
more weight at first -- but that's mostly fluids, not
fat.
"When you reduce sodium and cut starches, you
reduce fluids and fluid retention, which can result
in up to 5 pounds of fluid loss when you get
started," says Michael Dansinger, MD, of NBC's
The Biggest Loser show.
Diets for Fast Weight Loss
Dansinger recommends eating a diet that
minimizes starches, added sugars, and animal fat
from meat and dairy foods. For rapid weight loss,
he recommends focusing on fruits, veggies, egg
whites, soy products, skinless poultry breasts,
fish, shellfish, nonfat dairy foods, and 95% lean
meat.
Here are more tips from Dawn Jackson Blatner,
RD, author of The Flexitarian Diet :
Eat vegetables to help you feel full.
Drink plenty of water.
Get tempting foods out of your home.
Stay busy -- you don't want to eat just because
you're bored.
Eat only from a plate, while seated at a table. No
grazing in front of the 'fridge.
Don't skip meals.
Keeping a food journal -- writing down everything
you eat -- can also help you stay on track.
"Even if you write it down on a napkin and end
up throwing it away, the act of writing it down is
about being accountable to yourself and is a very
effective tool for weight loss," says Bonnie Taub
Dix, MA, RD, author of Read It Before You Eat It .
Besides jotting down what you ate, and when,
you might also want to note how you were feeling
right before you ate it. Were you angry, sad, or
bored? We often focus so much on foods and
calories, but our emotions are a huge part of our
eating habits.
If you see a persistent pattern in your emotional
eating, please consider talking to a counselor
about it. They can be a big help in finding other
ways to handle your feelings.
