After Christmas Weight Loss Plan

It's always sad once a holiday comes to an end, particularly a holiday like Christmas Day that means so much to so many people but stay positive, it’s only 365 days until the next one. For now the priority must be to reclaim your body and take control of your life once again and that begins with your weight.

If you truly would like to lose weight you only have to focus on two things - eat less and exercise a lot. It really is simple.

Over Christmas we have all gained between one and five pounds and that means that to get back to pre Christmas weight will take us between one and five weeks. It is not possible to lose weight faster than one pound per week and expect it remain unredeemed. Therefore this article is about going back to basics of how to lose one bump each week.

One pound is equivalent to 3,500 calories, or five hundred calories each day. An adult requires a minimum of 2,000 calories each day to outlast fit and healthy in the developed world we consume an average of 3,500 calories every day. This intake gives us many options for losing weight. For advance we can reduce our daily intake by 500 calories providing we do not fall below 2,000 calories every day. This will help your weight and consequently your health but won't make you fitter and more able to enjoy life.

That is why we suggest that initially you set out to reduce your daily calorie intake by 300 calories and burn off a further 200 calories through light exercise.

This way you work on both your aerobic fitness and diet at the same time and then as you become finer you will increase your burn off rate and therefore allow for a few extra rewards in your diet. Have memories it is not good practice to lose weight at a rate greater than one pound each week or you will soon be putting all that weight back on again rendering your program worthless. The whole point of losing weight is keeping it lost, not losing it this tempo and watching it come back next.

Begin today and you'll see results within a calendar week.
