How to Lose Weight Fast for a Modeling Event

Preparing for a modeling event can be very exciting, but can also make you feel self-conscious about any extra pounds that you might be carrying. The longer you have until the event, the more weight you will be able to lose. Although there are certain things that you can do to speed up weight loss, recognize that there are limitations to how quickly you can shed pounds without compromising your health. While being trim can make you more attractive, so can the shiny hair, clear skin, and bright eyes that come with a healthy diet.

Instructions

Establish a Healthy Diet

1

Create a dietary plan that includes lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats. Cut out all foods high in sugar and minimize your intake of those that are high in saturated fat. An example of a healthy meal would be a quarter-pound burger made with lean ground beef on a whole wheat bun with a side of steamed broccoli drizzled in olive oil. You should not include cheese on the burger or add fries as a side.

2

Ensure that you are drinking eight glasses of water a day. This will aid in your digestion and prevent water retention. Cut out any sugary drinks or diet sodas.

3

Refuse to starve yourself. While this may be tempting, cutting out too many calories will actually not help you lose fat. Although you may lose weight, much of it will be from your muscles, which will actually make you look less fit. It could also lead to dull, coarse hair and skin. This is because fat is actually one of the body's least preferred sources of energy. Muscle and protein provide greater energy than fat and are more efficient to utilize when your body thinks that it is starving.

4

Commit to eating healthful foods in adequate amounts and you will lose fat without sacrificing muscle or good health.

Establilsh an Exercise Routine

5

Plan on spending several hours engaging in intense exercise each day. This is the best way to lose weight rapidly. While starving yourself will not actually help your figure to look better, exercise will. Not only does it burn calories, it also builds muscle. Increased muscle mass will help your body to hold in fat better and improve your metabolism.

6

Engage in a variety of exercises. Aerobic exercise, such as running, dancing, or biking, will allow you to burn calories quickly. Anaerobic exercise, such as weight lifting, crunches or resistance training do not burn very many calories, but will improve your muscle tone.

7

Utilize a personal trainer to help improve the effectiveness of your exercise regimen.
