How to Lose Weight Fast at Home

It is astounding to me how some people can lose weight in their sleep, yet some people can run an iron man, yet never lose a pound!

Is this something we can change? Read on for some powerful tips.

Detox Your Body!

We are largely in contact with toxins every day, whether it be in the air you breathe, your food, or your homes! Your bodies even produce more toxins as your stress, anxiety, and fear levels increase. However, your bodies are naturally able to detoxify themselves using your kidney, liver, and skin, but these systems cannot always handle all the toxins you throw at them. And, when this happens, your bodies resort to storing these toxins in your joints and fat cells.

There are some common, obvious symptoms that your body might be holding on to too many toxins. These symptoms include: headaches, feeling off-balance, gastrointestinal problems, insomnia, depression, and most prominently, weight gain!

Detoxification is the most important step in the treatment of obesity and enabling yourself to lose weight quickly. These toxins are being stored in your fatty tissues and joints, and the greater your problem with obesity is, the more toxic your system is.

Following a good detoxification program can produce wonderful results. There are numerous great programs out there, including body wraps, juice diets, and more. And, in practicing one of these programs, you will become healthier, look and feel younger, and have more energy!

Get your Heart Rate Up!

Your heart is a muscle and just like all the rest, it needs it exercise. And, when your heart is being helped from some good exercise, it reciprocates by helping you to lose weight!

Many people will simply work out on a treadmill or home gym for a few minutes, and then wonder why they have a hard time with losing weight. If you know anything about the way your heart works, you will know that your heart rate needs to be within its target zone to be burning fat. And, by the time those 10-15 minutes are up on the old treadmill, you have just barely gotten your heart warmed up!

But, how do you know what your target heart rate is? You can dedicate a lot of time to figuring this out using elaborate formulas and tests, but there is an easier way. Its called a "talk test". Try having a normal conversation during your exercise activity. If you can speak clearly, without any difficulties, you are probably in the 50 to 80 percent target heart range. This is a fantastic fat burning zone, and will definitely help you to lose that weight.

If you are having problems speaking while exercising, you are probably exercising too vigorously. If that is the case, you should bring the intensity down a notch, and prolong your exercise. That will enable you to last longer and burn more calories!

Drink Water!!

You have been hearing your parents tell you this since you were a little kid. Drink water! It will do wonders for your looks, it will flush out impurities from your skin, and it will give you a clear, vibrant, glowing complexion. Even skin that begins to sag with aging can become taut and tight when the skin cells are properly hydrated.

When you are properly hydrated, your muscles can literally feel the difference. They will contract more easily, and your workouts will be drastically more effective. Consequently, you will be left with great muscle tone and you will be on your way to losing that weight!

So, is drinking 8 glasses of water a day too hard? Really? Its only 2 quarts of water. I know dozens of people who drink that much soda in one day. Make the effort to drink the water, and it will pay off in multiples.

When you are drinking the amount of water that your body desires, you will notice a decrease in appetite, and you will become a healthier and leaner new you!
