My Rapid Weight Loss Technique

Earlier this week one of the executives from worked commented on my weight loss. When I had first started losing weight it was common to have people ask how I lost so much weight so quickly. Since I haven’t made any big gains in a few months I haven’t heard the question recently. It was only now that I was asked recently that I realized just how lack-luster my answer was.

I usually just say I’ve been eating less, and exercising more. That is accurate, however I think it lacks the detail most people expect when asking me how I lost weight. With that realization in mind, I’ve found myself thinking about just what I did to lose weight. I’ve come up with a few answers but I think the primary reason I’ve been so successful is that I made an effort to find an outdoor activity I enjoy doing. For me this was rollerblading, however the exercise wasn’t as important as my enjoyment of it. I am able to go outside and rollerblade every day without getting bored of it. There are ways for me to push myself further, either by increasing my distance or speed.

Another secret to my weight loss has been the lifestyle change I’ve made in my eating habits. For me that means not compromising on my fulfilling lunch; but being much more health conscious for dinner. I usually try to keep my calorie intake during dinner down to 300 – 500 calories. This lets my body digest most of my food before I go to sleep and my metabolism slows.

I know my entire success can’t be reduced to those two weight loss techniques. I need to think about it some more. Of course, but because it worked for me doesn’t mean it will work for everyone. I made sure I consulted with my physician during my rapid weight loss, and that is always a wise precaution.
