This post is all about how to lose weight fast!
1. Determine YOUR why!
Because you are trying to lose weight in such a timely manner it’s time to get serious about your why.
Why do you want to lose weight? Why do you want it to happen fast?
What life events are coming up this year that you are planning for? Looking to feel confident in that new dress or swimsuit?
Do you just overall want to feel better, have more energy, eat cleaner?
Whenever you feel like you don’t want to go to the gym, exercise, go for a hot girl walk, etc keep your why in front of you. This will remind you of where you're headed.
2. Set ONE realistic goal
Focus on one goal. This could be anything from eating cleaner to working out to getting more sleep.
Grab your journal, computer, iPad or device of choice and write your goal.
You have to see it before you see it.
For example, if it's your goal to lose 10 pounds in the next 3 months - awesome, totally realistic - start thinking about what steps you’re going to take to get there.
At the end of the day, what are you willing to do in order to meet and surpass this goal?
Once you decide on that one goal, commit to it.
3. Create systems around your goal
Losing weight fast is heavily focused on creating systems, routines, and healthy habits. These give you the framework for what your days will look like.
Systems are all about creating, structuring and executing the necessary steps required to reach this goal.
A huge factor in seeing those pounds shed are habit changes. The same eating habits, lack of commitment habits, lack of working out habits, lack of discipline habits keep you in the same cycle. The longer you allow yourself to stay in the same cycle the more difficult it gets to break out of it. Seriously, start today!
Take your goal that you wrote down and think about what habits you can add into your daily routine that is going to help you.
4. Commit to working out 2-3 times a week
2-3 times a week is the sweet spot for beginners. It’s the balance of not being too overwhelmed while still holding you accountable. Remember we have goals to reach!
Keeping your goal in front of you while trying to lose weight fast also gives you time t
Get your planner out and take a look at your week. Pick 2 days. What are the best days for you to workout? Monday and Friday? Tuesday and Thursday? Saturday and Sunday?
During those 2 days focus on workouts that work different parts of your body. For example Tuesday is for lower body workout and Thursday is for a full body workout. Don’t forget about recovery! Insert link
These days will help you get in your flow and find workouts that work best for you.

5. Eat cleaner, less processed foods
Oh so you want to lose weight fast? This is tea, you’ll need to hear this.
Start nourishing your body with whole foods. That’s the secret sauce.
Think of your veggies, protein, healthy carbs and healthy fats.
You can get creative however you like! No, it doesn’t have to be chicken rice and veggies.
The easiest way to do this….cook more meals at home!
If anything you should be increasing your protein intake. More protein packed snacks like mixed berry protein smoothies, yogurt parfaits and protein chia seed pudding, deli wraps.
Yes, you can still eat the pasta and yes you can still have the bread.
These will fuel your body, help you remain satiated and reduce your cravings. Win win!
Don’t worry that doesn’t mean you have to cut out your favorite sweet treats.
There are SO many healthier alternatives that taste better than the originals. link
6. Increase your water intake
Not only are you keeping your body hydrated but you're reducing your cravings - especially your sugar cravings.
Have you heard people say that when you think you're hungry it’s actually a sign that you’re dehydrated. It’s very true.
Before you grab the sugary latte, drink, juice etc, pause and drink some water.
Before you overeat, pause and drink some water.
Increasing your water intake will flush out the toxins and help you feel more full. Don’t let your mind trick you.
Make sure you keep a water bottle with you. Aim for ½ gallon a day. When you’re running errands, at the office, at home, traveling make sure you have your water bottle so that you’re not forced to grab the sugary drink
7. Get your sleep!
7-8 hours of sleep each night is the goal. I know this isn’t always realistic BUT you have to start prioritizing your sleep.
Everything can’t get done in one day. You're one person. The to-do list can wait until tomorrow.
Lack of sleep is a common way that will slow down your weight loss journey and might even cause you to gain weight.
Think about it, late nights normally involve some type of food. When you’re eating late at night and going to bed right after. The food just sits on your stomach and is stored.
Depending on what the food is, it's stored as fat.
Multiple this habit by 2-3 months. It doesn’t take long for the extra calories to add up.
If you’re ready to lose weight fast, ditch the late night snacks. When you focus on fueling your body with whole foods and getting to bed by 10pm you won’t have time to even think about the late night snacks.
Especially for my girlies that like working out, your body needs rest in order to repair muscle tears and help you build new muscle.
