Speed Up Your Weight Loss

Although we’re accustomed to hearing stories of celebrities dropping 10 or more pounds in only a few weeks, for the average person, weight loss takes much longer. However, aside from hiring a personal trainer and a personal chef and spending eight or more hours per day working out, there are a few tricks that you can use to speed up progress and shed pounds faster.

  • Get enough sleep. Studies have shown that people who get less than four hours of sleep per night often have slower metabolisms than people who get at least eight hours. Burning the midnight oil also makes you more susceptible to late-night junk food cravings and can hinder your body’s ability to lower its cortisol level, which increases abdominal fat if maintained for long periods of time and can also lead to increased chance of heart attacks and strokes.
  • Eat breakfast. While skipping breakfast may seem like a good idea, it often leads to overeating later in the day, as well as prevents your body from producing the enzymes that it needs to metabolize fat and help you lose weight. Make time for breakfast, and shoot for high-fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
  • Stay hydrated. People often confused hunger with thirst. By drinking enough water, you can not only avoid this problem, but also equip your body with the fluids it needs to run smoothly.
  • Mix cardio and weights. The combination of efforts will give your metabolism an extra boost, since you’ll be burning fat and also building muscle. Try alternating intervals of cardio with intervals of weight lifting.

For years, people seeking weight loss tips such as these have enrolled in Live-in Fitness Enterprise (LIFE) fitness boot camp. California is the perfect backdrop for this camp, as participants enjoy beach workouts, hiking, bicycle rides, and more at LIFE’s beautiful Los Angeles location.
