Lose a Few Pounds by Christmas

How would you like to lose some weight before the holidays? Chances are most of us will spend some time visiting with family we rarely see, meeting new family members, and making first impressions on new girlfriends, new boyfriends, nieces and nephews, and a host of other individuals that we only come in contact with during the Christmas season. Well, the good news is you still have two whole weeks -- that's plenty of time to lose a few pounds, and to give yourself a healthy glow before meeting up with your long-lost family members.

If you're among the masses that would like to lose a few pounds before Christmas, it's a good idea to study up on the best place to start. We all know the crash dieting, starving ourselves, and over-exercising are not only dangerous, they typically don't work. The good news is that there are ways to get yourself into shape quickly and easily without subjecting your body to the dangers of crash dieting and starvation.

The first step you should take when trying to lose a few pounds in a short period of time is to alkalize your system. There are a wide variety of foods and beverages that will help alkalize the human body. Remember, too much acidosis in the body promotes obesity, and a host of other life-threatening illnesses. Not only that, having an overabundance of acid in your body will actually prevent you from losing weight effectively. For this reason, alkalization is of vital importance when trying to achieve rapid weight loss.

One of the best ways to quickly alkalize your system is to engage in the consumption of a substantial amount of alkaline water. Because your body is 70 percent water, even if you're eating a largely acidic diet, consuming an adequate amount of alkaline water will ensure that your neutralizing the acid you consume through your food and will also seek to provide you with an overall alkaline system. This in turn will promote healthy and rather rapid weight loss. When you combine alkaline water, with careful eating, regular exercise, and plenty of rest, you have created a formula for quick and effective weight loss. So, for the next two weeks, consider drinking as much alkaline water as you can, get a least an hour of exercise each day, and sit back and watch as the pounds melt away.
