Would you like to lose two pounds in two days? If so, keep reading! Just a few minutes of reading could change your life, if you're willing to apply what you read here.
As you have probably heard on the news or the radio, America has a problem. America has one of the highest rates of obesity among first world nations, and this poses a risk both on a personal level and a national level. Maybe you are among those Americans that feels that you should lose a few pounds. The best way to make a big change is to start small, so here is a simple, achievable goal: lose two pounds in two days.
That seems awfully fast, doesn't it? How can someone safely lose a pound per day, even over a short period of time? Well, there are many small changes you can make in your life that will enable you to lose two pounds in two days, and you will barely realize you've made a change. Instead of driving around the mall parking lot for fifteen minutes looking for the closest spot, make an effort to park as far away as possible. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. If you live a sedentary lifestyle, make sure to get up and walk around every hour or so.
Of course, it will take more than just a little bit of extra exercise to lose two pounds in two days. The most significant change you can make to effect weight loss is in your diet. Specifically, avoid foods with lots of carbohydrates. Obviously, this includes snacks and desserts, but there are many other foods that one might think "healthy" at first, but that are high in carbohydrates, and should be avoided. Fruits like pineapple and mango that have a glycemic index probably do more harm than good. Potatoes are, of course, high in starch as well. Do you order wraps when you go to a sandwich shop, instead of a normal bun? It turns out that wraps have more calories (and carbs) than regular bread!
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Maybe you feel as though you have a mountain of weight to lose, and can't bear to start a plan to lose weight for fear that you'd never finish. Or perhaps you just need to lose a few since summer is coming. Either way, a key to success in anything is to be able to set small, reasonable, measurable goals, and then succeed in fulfilling them. So here's the challenge: right now, this week, your goal is to lose two pounds in two days. As discussed above, a change in eating habits, a slight increase in the time you spend exercising, and you will be amazed at how quickly your body responds. So, why wait? It won't be any easier to get started tomorrow than it is today, and you will be robbing yourself of one more day of fulfillment. Start losing today.
I hope you have found this article useful and hopefully you will take the first steps to lose two pounds in two days.
