Lose 7 Pounds in 7 Days - Fitness Models and Bodybuilders Methods

These proven strategies are used as a quick weight loss plan by fitness models and bodybuilders to lose weight quick naturally anytime they need it. Quick weight loss is definitely possible and that is what models and bodybuilders do all the time whenever there is a competition or a requirement. The only reason stopping it from happening would be you and your believe. I will show you how to lose 7 pounds in 7 days without any struggle.

At an average in America, the per day calories consumption counts to 3790 calories for the years 2000-2002 according to FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) of the United Nation. Interestingly, many people who want to lose weight quick are taking even higher consumption of calories than the average consumption.

On the other hand, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines for minimum safe level calorie consumption is 1200 calories for women and 1800 calories for men. What I wanted to point out is that even if you are an average American women, you can create a calorie deficit of 2590 (3790 – 1200) calories just from your total calorie consumption in a day. That leaves you with a mere 910 calories to burn in a day to achieve your goal, and we haven’t considered Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) or physical activities yet, which accounts almost 50% of calories burn in a day. I know most of you are saying “It easier said than done”. Well, I would like say that this is a proven strategies and you just need to follow the rules and the result follows.

Rules to maintain minimum calorie consumption and increase metabolism:

* First of all you need to break up your total daily calorie intakes into 5 - 6 small frequent meals with breakfast as the largest portion of the meal and the last meal before bedtime the smallest portion. These meal frequencies help you control hunger and binges and more importantly increase your metabolism.

* Take self brewed green tea before every meal which help to burn fat for energy (shift in the utilization of energy) and control hunger drastically.

* You should always take food in its natural form, and that is the way it is suppose to be taken. Do not take processed or preservative food including fruit juice, even home made because the calorie density i much higher. Avoid junk foods at all cost. Take less salt and fat but do not abstain from good fats.

* Maintain a balance diet with the right nutrient composition. The composition of your daily nutrient should be approximately 45% carbohydrate, 40% protein and 15% fat.

* Always drink adequate water of 8 – 10 glass (1.8 – 2.2 liters of pure water).

* Keep away from alcohol for at least a week ( I find this hard).

* Sleep uninterrupted for 7 – 8 hours everyday.

Dieting and restricting your day calories is not enough to lose weight effectively. You need to understand the fact that you can never lose weight permanently and maintain a good physique without exercise.

A highly recommended exercise used by models and bodybuilders is High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). This exercise routine will burn maximum calories during the workout and also keep burning calories even after the workout up to 24 hours which is referred as Excess Post – Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC). This exercise consist of 30 - 60 seconds of high intensity cardio like sprinting followed by low or moderate intensity of cardio.

While performing your high intensity session the target is to reach your maximum heart beat rate to the point of losing your breath. Then you slow down with the moderate or low intensity cardio for the stipulated period of 30- 60 seconds and repeat the cycle.

This is exactly what fitness models do to lose weight rapidly. When you follow these rules closely, you can quickly lose 7 pounds or more in a week. Needless to say, your effort and determination will give you what you want.
