Losing 40 pounds in 2 months is an achievable weight loss goal. Most people can’t make it. 40 pounds seems a lot of weight to lose but if you calculate and break it down in weeks then you will see that it’s not that hard to reach this weight loss target.
You just need to drop about 5 pounds a week. It’s not necessary to lose the exact amount each week because you can’t control how much your weight will be shed off each week. It depends on many factors in your body system. The first week you may be able to lose more than 5 pounds but the next week, the number will slow down.
Eat Breakfast Everyday
Starting your day with healthy breakfast is the important key to lose weight and keep it off. You may wonder why eating breakfast can help with weight loss. The first reason is that you haven’t eaten anything for at least 7 to 8 hours since dinner time so if you don’t eat anything in the morning till lunch time then your body will be without food for more than 10 hours. When the body can’t find food anyway, it’ll try to reserve anything it can, this is the cause of slow metabolism. Skipping breakfast can also affect your health. You will feel tired and have no energy to work. When you are tired you seem to crave for sweet stuff, instead of eating healthy breakfast, you may eat unhealthy junk foods like cookie, chips, and sweet drinks. This habit doesn’t only prevent you from losing weight, instead you gain more weight.
