You’re anticipating a holiday that’s 14 days away and you want to do your level best in shedding pounds before it arrives. You also want to make sure that you fit perfectly well in your swimsuit. You have probably read about some diet that promised to help you lose weight but to be on the realistic side that’s not the safest thing to do, instead of losing weight you will gain more weight and you that’s not the thing you need for your trip. While it’s possible to lose 2 pounds a week then it’s also possible to lose 4 pounds in 14 days. Ensure that you consult your doctor before making any short-term weight loss plan – making sure that your doctor gives you specific diets you need for your weight-loss goals.
Lose four Pounds in 14 days
Though it’s possible to shed more than two pounds in a week, it best you get the recommendation and OK from your doctor. Shedding pound in a rapid manner also leads to the loss of more muscle than fat. And that has an effect on your muscle as it causes a dip in energy levels and may make it tougher for you to keep the weight off.
In every one pound of fat, there are 3,500 calories, so in order to lose 2 pounds in a week, you need to create a 1,000 – calorie daily shortage. So you’re not starving, you might want to split the calorie deficit between diet and exercise, decreasing your daily intake by 500 calories and working out to burn another 500 calories. In order to know how many calories is needed for you to maintain your weight, use an online calorie calculator then subtract 500 from that number to find out your weight loss calorie.
Cutting Calories to Lose the Weight
Besides keeping tight tabs on what you eat, there are things you can do to cut 500 calories from your daily intake. Instead of a whole egg omelet, substitute egg whites and save 55 calories per egg. Also, replacing 1/4 cup of regular cheddar with low-fat saves you another 65 calories.
Burning Calories to Lose the Weight
You may have to work out hard to burn 500 calories a day during those two weeks, but the initial weight loss may be just what you need to turn your two-week diet into a new lifestyle plan. There are a number of different ways you can burn off those calories, from running to mowing the grass. How many calories you burn depends on your weight and how long you move. For example, a 155-pound person needs to run at a pace of 5 miles per hour for 50 minutes to burn 500 calories, while an 185-pound person would only need to run for 40 minutes.
