Lose a Dress Size in 4 Weeks With This Fast Weight Loss Program

(Rate this article)

By Heather Picken

Every woman wants a fast weight loss program, especially if they are getting ready for a special event.

Can you speed up fat loss to slip into that little black dress?

Yes you can!

Here is a special fast weight loss program for women. Keep in mind that you only want to do this for about 4 weeks so your metabolism won’t slow down.

The first thing is that you want to make sure you are drinking enough water, at least one gallon a day. Simply keep refilling a one gallon water jug each day to keep track of your water. Water is very important not only in fat-loss but it helps regulate your body.

Secondly, in your fast weight loss program, you want to reduce or eliminate simple sugars. These are found in foods like cookies and sodas. Eliminating these will have a huge impact in your body to burn more fat..fast!

The next step in your fast weight loss program, is figuring out how many calories you eat a day. I recommend tracking it for a few days and weighing foods (like chicken or other meats) and counting calories. This will give you a baseline of where you are at. For one thing you could be eating too little and if that’s the case then fat-loss will be impossible or perhaps you’re actually eating more than you thought you were. For example, if you are eating 2000 calories a day, cut out 250-500 calories. A good rule of thumb is to cut your calories from carbohydrates like breads and pastas and extra fats like butter and make sure your protein is kept high. Most women do not eat enough protein. Not having enough protein will prevent you from building a lean, sculpted body.

Exercise in your program should consist of weight training at least 3 times a wee. Also add interval cardio, which is extremely effective in burning stubborn fat. Interval cardio is completing anywhere from 20 seconds to three minutes of high intensity cardio then switching back to a moderate pace for one to five minutes.

If you just walk on a treadmill or use another piece of cardio equipment with very little intensity, you’re not doing your body any good. You don’t have to sprint, you just need to get your heart rate up so that you are breathing hard.

An example of a program:

Monday - Full body weight training, 30 minutes of interval cardio after weights.

Tuesday - 45-60 minutes of interval cardio.

Wednesday - Full body weight training, 30 minutes of interval cardio after weights.

Thursday - 45-60 minutes of interval cardio.

Friday - Full body weight training, 30 minutes of interval cardio after weights.

Saturday - 45-60 minutes of interval cardio.

Sunday - Rest or do cardio only.

Stick to this program for four weeks and you should be able to easily lose unwanted fat and inches.
