Lose a Pound a Day, It's Weight Loss the Safe Way!

I have tried everything from weight loss pills to hiring a personal trainer. And everything seemed to not work or take to long. I wanted results right away, and for what I paid. I was not seeing what I wanted. One day I looked at myself and got just the right boost of motivation I needed to push me to lose weight. Here's how I lost a pound a day for two weeks and kept it off:

**I eat little and walked often**

--meaning I would walk every day for an hour and ten minutes. (1hr10mins). And ate around 1,000 calories a day. But of protein, because protein builds muscle.

I would wake up around 8 o'clock every morning and go for a walk around my neighborhood on an empty stomach. That way I burned more fat. Here's the thing, I would only drink water for two hours before I ate after my workout. That way my muscles were still being worked after the work out, therefore burning more calories and fat. I ate the same things every day, that way I knew how much I was eatting and I knew how much I had to burn off.

Surprisingly, it wasn't hard to keep doing this. Mostly because I was motivated enough. I dropped a pound a day. I looked and felt great every day!

Diets do not have to be hard and they also don't have to take a lot of time and effort. In fact, if you want to lose a pound a day and feel great at the same time, then take a look at some of the simple and effective methods that have stood up the test of time. Losing weight is part art and part science, and learning the basics can help you do develop a plan and routine that will work for you. Nobody likes the word diet, and exercise seems to be a scary word for many, but to be honest, both need to be incorporated into your daily life in order to see results that you can be proud of.

It is completely realistic to set a goal to lose a pound a day, and you can accomplish this by making some simple changes to your lifestyle. Exercising for just 20-30 minutes every day can put you on the track to sustainable weight loss, and it doesn't have to be high impact exercise that makes you sore just thinking about. In fact, you can achieve your goal by simply walking. Although, it will be much better if you step up your routine to include some sweat inducing steps like jogging, dancing, jump rope or other activity that will heat you up and melt away pounds.

In addition to exercise, dieting is also very important, and the good news is that you don't have to starve yourself to make it happen. Simply adding fruits and vegetables as well as other natural, whole foods can cause excess pounds to slip away as you eat until your heart's content. If you want to lose a pound a day, then don't starve yourself to make it happen.
