What To Do if You Are Absolutely Desperate To Lose Weight Quickly

     If you are desperate to lose weight quickly there are a few things you can do. Sure you may not like it, but really dropping the pounds in a very short amount of time will probably take a bit more work than you bargained for. Also, it may take a bit more pain. It takes a lot fo self control and discipline to lose weight in a couple days or even a week.

However, if you are desperate, and I mean really desperate to lose weight quickly, you will have no problem getting and maintaining the discipline it will take.

First, let's talk about calories. Calories are units of energy that our body uses. We get our calories from food. You will only lose weight if you use more energy than you actually consume in a single day. If you use less energy than you consume than you will gain weight. Our body turns unused energy into fat. After reading this, it should come as no surprise to you why many people who have jobs that require them to do nothing but sit at a desk all day, slowly but surely begin to thicken at the middle. They also gain saddle thighs and all other types of weight related body issues.

Since you understand energy, you should understand why one of the best things to do if you are desperate to lose weight quickly is to exercise everyday. Doing so will guarantee that you get on the path to using more energy than you consume. If you go for days without exercising, you are giving yourself a very good chance of gaining weight.

I recently picked up a workout tape. It's called the 500 calorie work out. It's by the firm.

This is an awesome tape, and the exercises are really fun to do. Do you know long it takes to lose 500 calories on a treadmill? It takes hours. Even on the elliptical it takes a long time. However, with this tape you can burn 500 calories or more in just 60 minutes. All you need is some hand weights. If you do this work out tape every for seven days, you will definitely lose weight and lose it very quickly.

Increasing exercise is one of the best things to do if you are desperate to lose weight quickly.

Now of course you will be sabotaging everything if you burn 500 calories but you go and eat an 800 calories slice of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory or even Wholefoods. That's right: Whole Foods. Just because it's organic does not mean it's not fattening and that will not make you gain weight.

Therefore, if you are really in a bind and you need to drop those pounds in a flash, exercise and eat really healthy. You can do it. It may be hard at first, but the good thing is that we are all creatures of habit. Once you start do something for a number of days or weeks it will just begin to become natural to you. Therefore, even if it's hard now, don't worry. It will get easier.
