How to Burn Fat in 2 Weeks Without Diet Pills

There are several lifestyle changes that can be successfully implemented when trying to lose weight in two weeks. Introducing the combination of a healthy diet and an increased program of exercise to your daily routine will encourage weight loss. Diet pills often are seen as a quick and easy solution when trying to lose weight in a short period of time, but they can be harmful to your body and, in some cases, addictive. Weight loss can be achieved in two weeks through sensible diet and regular exercise.

Instructions

• 1

  Replace refined carbohydrates and starchy foods such as potatoes, white rice and white pasta with yams, brown rice and brown pasta. These foods are known as good carbohydrates and contain the essential fats and oils the body needs in order to function.

• 2

  Exercise daily. Studies have shown that half an hour of moderate exercise per day will help maintain a sensible body weight and keep your heart healthy. Start out by taking a brisk 15 minute walk twice a day. You also could try swimming, jogging or joining a gym.

• 3

  Drink plenty of water. Water retention can be the cause of excess weight. Drinking six to eight glasses of water a day will encourage the body to flush out excess water instead of storing it. Water retention also can be reduced by cutting down the daily intake of salt. The recommended daily allowance of salt is less than 2,400 mg, which is around a teaspoon.

• 4

  Increase the amount of protein in your diet. Recent studies have shown that a diet rich in protein can aid weight loss significantly. Protein appears to suppress the appetite, meaning that fewer calories are consumed daily. Protein should make up around 20 percent of each meal.
