“The Keys to Mini Skirt Season Weight Loss”
By Registered
Dietitian Jayson Hunter
With
summer quickly approaching women are breaking out their Mini
Skirts and hoping they fit. Here are some of my best rapid
fat loss tips for fitting into your mini skirts.
Losing weight fast is actually a simple process, but simple
is not necessarily easy. There is effort involved.
Here are three weight loss keys for women to look sexy in
a Mini Skirt:
1) Exercise
Women can lose weight just by following a nutrition plan on
its own, but very few succeed at it and it takes much longer
than when women eat properly and exercise as well. And not
just getting on a treadmill for 30 minutes every other day.
Though some women may lose weight this way it is not the most
efficient use of your time. Nor does it maximize the ability
to burn calories if you want to fit into that mini skirt.
The most effective way to lose fat is by strength training
or some type of interval training utilizing strength training
and cardiovascular exercises. A properly designed program
can burn more overall calories in 20 minutes than 40 minutes
on a treadmill. Also, the X factor in all this is that women
will burn more calories per minute hours after they finished
strength training because of the EPOC (Excess Post-exercise
Oxygen Consumption) effect. Static exercise on a treadmill
doesn't produce this X factor. Did you know that research
shows that interval strength training can elevate your metabolism
for up to 40 hours after you complete your workout.
This means that your metabolism is elevated all the time 24
hours a day if you exercise every day or every other day.
Now that is what you want to look great in that mini skirt.
This is a good thing, a very good thing. You see speeding
up your metabolism is the key to losing weight quickly and
keeping it off for a lifetime. As you get older your metabolism
naturally starts slowing down. Stopping this natural metabolism
slowdown will keep you from gaining that 5-10 pounds every
year.
2) Keep a food journal
You will be amazed at what you consume and not even realize
you did it until you write it down and reflect back on the
day. Keeping a food log is critical to your successful trek
of fitting into your mini skirts because if modifications
need to be made you are able to evaluate and analyze. If weight
loss changes aren't happening like you had hoped the answer
can usually be found in the food and or exercise journal.
Make sure you record the quantities of what you eat and what
you drink. Many people forget that there are calories and
sometimes lots of calories in what you drink. Review your
food journal at the end of every day and see what you did
well and what you need to work more on. Make sure you note
the changes you need to make for the next day so you can re-evaluate
what you improved on the next day. This is a very important
step to ensuring mini skirt success.
3) Follow the 90% rule
If you can follow a weight loss plan 90% of the time then
that is enough for you to be successful. Women who find themselves
breaking the rules more than 90% of the time then the chance
of being successful with weight loss is not as likely. Your
chances of failing increase significantly. For most women
this means you are allowed to cheat on your meals 4 times
per week if you are eating 5 meals a day.
These are just 3 weight loss keys to looking great in that
Mini Skirt
this summer. Start implementing these mini skirt weight loss
keys and before you know it you will be looking great and
getting comments on how great you look in that mini skirt.
