Most of us girls have been there and done that. It's a few weeks before prom, we've seen that sexy dress we want to wear but don't quite fit in, and we panic. We want to lose weight before the prom fast! So, what do we do?
For days we literally go hungry, drink just water and munch on lettuce like a deer in the backyard.
We suddenly remember that gym membership and jump on the treadmill for hours every day.
After a few days we're completely pooped, look like a slightly overweight ghost, and snap at everyone because we're cranky, hungry, and that darn dress is still a size or two too small.
Okay, we figure, this isn't working.
Next we jump on the Internet and find all those quick weight loss solutions. You know, the ones that have you run on that darn treadmill for hours wearing a plastic bag, drink herbal tea till you want to gag, or pop pills that wind up your metabolism like a coiled spring.
It's tempting at this point in time, isn't it? Prom is getting closer every day!
Listen girl, just don't do it. The risks to your health and wellbeing just simply are too great to try to lose weight fast before the prom.
One pound of fat equals roughly 4,000 calories. It is impossible to do enough exercise, eat little enough without dying from starvation, or increase your metabolism enough to burn that number of calories in a short period of time.
Remember, you need to burn those calories in addition to the calories you need to stay alive.
The best you can aim for in terms of realistic fat burning is around one pound per week.
To do that, you need to eat sensibly to stay healthy, do moderate exercise, and closely watch your calorie intake.
Buy that dress in a number that fits you. Then be creative and add a few extras or accessories to hide what you don't like. You know, use those little secret tricks that just us girls know.
Then go out, have a blast and forget about how to lose weight fast before the prom.
Tisha Diaz recommends this fat loss and weight control program that will help you get rid of those excess pounds and make you slim and trim.
