Healthy Way To Lose 20 Pounds For Summer

Now, we may not all be interested in losing 20 pounds; some more and some less.  However, with whatever amount of weight you want to lose the message and strategy remains the same: Drop caloric intake, eat wholesome foods, and exercise regularly.  Following these three rules will ensure that you will put yourself in a healthy weight range!

Drop Your Caloric Intake 

The calories you eat are the quickest determinant of if you’ll gain weight (Caloric Surplus) or if you lose weight (Caloric Deficit).

Eat Wholesome Foods That Are Good For You 

Eat good sources of quality proteins like eggs, chicken, grass fed beef, bison, salmon and various other fishes. Eat good sources of carbohydrates like sweet potatoes, oatmeal, quinoa, and beans. Eat good sources of quality fats like coconut oil, olive oil, sardines, almonds and various other tree nuts, and avocados.  The exact amounts all depend on your current weight and your goal weight.  Focus on getting your caloric requirements for fats and proteins and filling in the rest with carbohydrates.  It is very important that you cut out of your diet both refined sugars and low quality salts…both of these are very prevalent in processed foods.

Exercise Regularly

Find an activity that you love and stick with it. Most people think going to the gym is the key but that’s where most people fail! Find an activity that you enjoy (Biking, walking, Tennis, etc.) and join a group, team, or league. Next, go to the gym and work on strength training that will improve your performance for that activity. You’ll have fun, and see the weight drop off because of REAL motivation!  Be sure to visit our workout generator for tons of free workout routines!
