Weight Loss Hidden Secrets

By: Jared Wash Home | Health-and-Fitness | Weight-Loss


Today's society surrounds the media with the newest weight loss program, supplement, and solution that leaves them right where they began. But they make millions of dollars so why they people seeking weight loss the truth? There is absolutely no need too.

Ever since I became so passionate about health, fitness, and nutrition all my research, training, and experimenting has proven several weight loss tips, tricks, and flat out common sense methods for losing weight that are incredible.

1) Eat Breakfast

With people's busy schedules and not enough time in the mornings, breakfast becomes a low priority and often never eating. If you are serious about reaching your weight loss goals than eating a healthy breakfast is vital.

Think of breakfast as a jumpstart to your metabolism, and it was proven that people who eat a healthy breakfast are energized throughout the day, burn more calories, and controls late night eating binges. In fact, they believe people that don't eat breakfast only burn 2/3 the calories they would normally burn if they ate breakfast.

2) Weight Training

The reason I use the phrase weight training," is because it defines using heavier weight to tax your body. By taxing your body to a certain point it helps you build lean muscle tissue that tone and slims your body for over all incredible weight loss results.

Most women and some men fear using weights as they fear getting bulky. But actually it should be the least of their worries. Depending on their body type it is very hard to gain a large amount of muscle, and most gains will be lean muscle that will benefit them more than they could imagine.

Just think that every pound of muscle you have on your body take 50 calories a day to maintain it, so the leaner muscle you have the more calories you burn in a day. Another interesting fact about weight training is that your body will have an after burn up to 78 hours after your last workout.

Again, by taxing your body to a certain point your resting metabolic rate (RMR) will increase while you are sitting or even sleeping. That is around 18,250 calories a year, and almost 5 1/2 pounds of fat for doing nothing. And, that's only one pound! Increasing lean body mass is important as people in their mid 20's lose 1/2 to 3/4 pounds of lean body mass a year. Just one more thing that should motivate you to use weights is using weights burns calories up to 72 hours after the workout. Resistance training is a must when learning how to lose weight quickly, and remember you are never too old.

3) Sleep

Some people ask me why sleep is important for weight loss? I must say when learning how to lose weight quickly, sleep is more vital than ever to relieve stress, have energy, and loss weight.

Sleep loss is shown to affect the secretion of cortisol, a hormone that regulates appetite leading you to feeling hungry and storing fat around your abdomen area. Not only that, but loss of sleep enables your body to metabolize carbohydrates resulting in excess sugar that develops insulin resistance and long story short; your carbohydrates turn into fat. To avoid these side affects it is recommended that you get at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night.

Wow, I won't have enough time in the day to get stuff done." Now, instead of thinking about the length of sleep, think more about the quality of sleep. If I got 8 hours of sleep a day my life during the day would be crazy as I would have so much to do and so little time to get it done in. And here's the solution. I have discovered a way that left me more energized, better workouts while getting 1-3 hours less sleep. I use to rely on caffeinated drinks to get me through the day but now I have more energy than ever.

4) Cycling 5-6 Meals A Day

Now, this lesson on how to lose weight quickly on eating 5 to 6 meals a day does not mean you can eat whatever you want, not at all. Eating frequent meals and snacks keeps your metabolism burning at a much higher rate than people that only eat 3, 2 or even only 1 meals a day.

Think about this for a second...

Every time you eat your body produces heat and the heat accelerates your metabolism as it's breaking down your food. After digesting the food your body dips into your fat storages burning fat for energy. Eating smaller meals more frequently will have your body dipping into your fat storages a lot more aiding in weight loss. Not only that but keeping your body away from high blood sugar levels limiting fat storage.

Want to learn more on how to lose weight quickly? That is where cycling comes into play. Mostly, calorie cycling is having high days and low days and not keeping your calorie intake the same. What I have learned and what has worked best for me is cycling the carbs and keeping your protein and fat intake the same. Having high and low days with carbohydrates increases your metabolism while burning calories and staying elevated on low days. Just remember that your metabolism try' s to maintain your homeostasis meaning a resting metabolic rate, and keeping thing the same so by cycling your calories your metabolism has to keep guessing resulting in more calories burned while doing nothing.

5) Drink Water

Most people know that our bodies consist of mostly water and to be exact about 80% water. Then why don't we base our fluids on drinking mostly water as it is very important in this lesson on how to lose weight quickly? One of the myths that I have heard lately is that water will make you bloat up and gain weight.

First, the only weight you should be trying to lose is fat and second, water does not make you bloat up it actually helps flush out your system of all the toxins and helps lubricates your joints. If you do not get enough water yes you will lose weight. But the weight you will lose is water and muscle that will slow down your metabolism, dehydration occurs and fat just piles right on your body. When you drink enough water your body is able to do all its function and aids in burning that unwanted fat.

Try to drink at least ten 8 ounce glasses of water every day and limit your caffeinated and favored liquids that you love so much for awhile. Another tip on how to lose weight quickly is to try drinking a glass or two when you wake up as it will prepare your body for the day ahead of fat burning. Or what I found that worked was going between drinking cold water and hot water to make your body burn more calories to keep your body temperature changing. But that a little excessive so just try to increase your water in take.

If it's hard for you to limit your other liquids and drink mostly water just do the best you can and remember every thing the water is doing for you.

I hope you enjoyed this article and good luck!
