How to Lose 5 Pounds
Whether you are
trying to lose 5 pounds or 50 pounds, the best
way to lose pounds is through a slow, steady
approach. Strive for 1 or 1-1/2 pounds a week of
weight loss. You can do this by reducing calorie
intake per day by 300 to 500 calories and
increasing your metabolism through daily fast
pace walks of 30 minutes per day.
A fast pace walk
for 30 minutes will burn 200 calories. Cycling
or stationary biking ( with back support) will
burn 300 calories for 30 minutes at moderate
speed.
There are 3500
calories in a pound of fat and to burn 1 pound
each week, you need a 500 calorie per day
deficit. By walking each day for 30 minutes,
which increases calorie burn by 200 calories,
you only need to reduce your calorie intake by
another 300 calories per day. If you burn 500
calories less per day for 7 days, you burn 1
pound of fat.
To speed results,
eat 5 to 6 small meals per day and drink 64
ounces of water. Avoid refined sugar and white
flour as much as possible. Reduce your intake of
bread, pizza and pasta and increase your intake
of green or leafy vegetables. You will start to
lose weight and you can lose as much as you
want.
