How You Can Get On Track To Losing 20 Pounds

June 9th, 2010 |

We all want to be fit and healthy and sometimes if you’re carrying around a few extra pounds, it takes a big event in your life — like an upcoming wedding or reunion– to jump start your fitness goals.

If you’re interested in losing as many as 20 pounds in two weeks, it is possible with some dedication and sweat.

One way is to use the fruit juice cleanse diet plan. This diet is based on cleansing the body of toxins and undigested food. You ingest healthy amounts of carbohydrates and sugars.

This diet is effective but isn’t recommended for the long term. It is a quick way to get your body in weight loss mode so you can shed a large amount of fat in a short time. Whether you keep it off depends on you.

Another way to take down those unwanted pounds is to try intense exercise. Do workouts that emphasize cardio for five days during the two week period. Each workout should be about an hour long. Eat a healthy, low calorie diet and you will see the pounds melt off.

If you plan on using exercise as your process to lose weight, eat a sensible but low calorie diet. Do not use these two weeks to try a liquid diet plan because it will not provide you with enough energy to be able to exercise hard for two weeks straight.

It’s recommended that you limit your intake of carbohydrates during this period. Eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and lean proteins. Make sure the fats you consume are nutritious, such as olive and canola oils.

Losing 20 pounds in two weeks will be tough. Whether you choose the restrictive diet or the intensive exercise plans you will see results if you stick with it and remind yourself of your goals.
