1. Create realistic weight loss goals:

Anything you don’t set a goal for and take daily actions that draw you closer to your goals is just a mere wish. 

Losing your body weight in 2 weeks is possible but requires lots of discipline and intentionality to achieve. 

The first thing to do before embarking on your weight loss journey is to visit a doctor or a nutritionist to guide you on the amount of pounds to lose and the unique strategies to achieve this. Consulting a doctor is important because our body systems vary and what works for your friend might destroy you. You also need to be sure of your health status and take note of any underlying health conditions.

Don’t forget to journal these goals with pen and paper because it sends signals to your brain that you are ready and international about your health and well-being.    

2. Pay attention to your diet:

You can’t achieve weight loss without screening your diet. 

Some diets disrupt your weight loss journey and you have to decide to cut them off, reduce the intake of them, and embrace new healthy eating habits to achieve your goals. 

Here are 6 dietary adjustments to make if you desire to lose weight in 2 weeks. 

• Create a calorie deficit: 

Reduce the consumption of too many calories in your body system. 

My favorite registered dietician Melody Sayers, once said “Reducing portions, switching to lower-fat products, and eliminating sources of extra calories can make a big difference.”

 If you can create a calorie deficit, then you are one step ahead of achieving your goals. 

• Eat more protein diet: 

Protein diets are generally known to increase muscle retention during weight loss and make you fuller so you don’t easily get hungry and crave food. 

Examples of protein diet to consume are fish, beans, lentils, eggs, and legumes. There are other sources of proteins like meats but just ensure the type you consume is not saturated with fat. An example of this is red meat. 

• Roll out processed food: 

Processed foods inevitably become your enemy if you are on a journey to achieving weight loss. If possible, it’s advisable to prepare your meals from scratch just so you can control your diet and be fully aware of what goes into your pot and down to your body. 

• Reduce your intake of carbohydrate: 

Have you noticed you easily get hungry after consuming carbohydrate food? That’s because our body quickly absorbs carbohydrate food and makes our taste buds crave more food. You can’t completely cut down the consumption of carbohydrates but do well to reduce them from your daily meals. 

• Fruits and vegetables are your go-to plug: 

Just like a protein diet, fruits and vegetables are low in calories but high in nutrients and fiber, which can help you stay fresh, healthy, full, and satisfied while reducing calorie intake to achieve weight loss. 

• Stay hydrated: 

Water is life, you know right? 

There’s a whole lot of weight loss improvement you can get within these 2 weeks if you can drink plenty of water. 

Water helps to clean toxins in your body, curbs hunger, functions optimally, and prevents water retention.

3. Exercise:

Have a plan to set aside one hour daily for your exercise. Exercise is an essential strategy for weight loss as it helps you to burn excess fats, and calories and keep your body healthy and fit. 

Engage in high-intensity cardio activities like walking,  running, cycling, swimming, or using an elliptical machine.

 These exercises help you burn a significant number of calories in a short amount of time. 

You can also involve weight lifting or bodyweight exercises commonly known as Strength training. It boosts metabolism by building muscle, which burns more calories at rest.

4. Eliminate toxic lifestyle such as glutton and consumption of alcohol

5. Prioritize your sleep hours:

Sleep helps your body to relax, and strengthens hormones that regulate hunger, so you don’t have increased cravings and overeating. Try to have 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to support your weight loss efforts.

6. Keep a record of your progress, stay and motivated too.
