Diet Pill Mania

Now that you have made some great progress during your first week the weight loss will start to slow.  You body is getting used to the calorie reduction, and the exercise, but it doesn’t have to end here.  Here are more tips to keep the fat melting off of you.

 

Continue the week one steps:

 

You need to continue drinking one half to one full gallon of water each day, and eat your small meals throughout the day.  Also continue to get adequate sleep each night to fight off the fat accumulating hormones.  You will continue to exercise, not more, but differently – and that is the first change for week two.

 

Add Resistance Training and Reduce Cardio:

 

Continue to walk, or do other cardio exercise, but reduce it to every other day.  On the days you don’t walk, you will do some resistance exercise.  Now if you are just beginning to explore this type of exercise, the best thing to do would be to either do body resistance exercises only, such as push ups, sit ups, deep knee bends, and a rowing type of exercise.  If this is too much, you could pick up some exercise bands or other exercise equipment to add resistance to exercise type movements.

 

This starts to build a little bit of muscle and burns extra calories.  Remember, the only thing that can burn fat is muscle, so it makes sense that adding a little muscle will burn more calories.

 

Add Calories:

 

I know what you are thinking – that sounds crazy!  But as you add calories, your body adjusts by burning extra calories rather than storing them.  You see, your body will start to go into a starvation mode after a week of restricting calories.  Of you start adding calories, the body snaps out of the starvation mode and burns the excess calories rather than storing them.

 

Add 200 – 400 calories per day of mostly clean protein foods.  That could be a couple of protein shakes, or an extra chicken breast, some egg whites with one yolk for breakfast.  Just use your imagination and watch the fat and carbohydrates.  Tip:  For week three and beyone add another 200 – 400 calories per day.

 

Vitamins and weight loss supplements:

 

If you aren’t already, you should be taking a decent multi vitamin.  Men should avoid the multi’s containing iron, but women should have an iron supplement.  You can also boost your metabolism, suppress your appetite, and increase your energy with a quality weight loss supplement.

 

 

It is with these tips and a quality weight loss supplements that you can continue to lose all of the weight you feel you need to.  By losing just 20 extra pounds, you will double your energy and begin to do things you never thought you could.
