Los Angeles - Need a weight loss plan? Nutritionist Susanne Bennett shares her tips for a successful weight loss success!
Susanne Bennett
"There are many different steps in planning your goal of weight loss..."
1. Keep goals short-term... lose one to two pounds a week.
2. Write down your goal... and be specific.
One pound equates to 3,500 calories a day. To drop a pound in a week, cut out about 500 calories a day.
Susanne Bennett
"What is one pound of fat? It's actually 3,500 calories. Tthat means 35 divided by 7 -- which is seven days a week -- means 500-calories you've got to reduce a day. 500 calories would be... let's say... a soda pop. Replace it with purfied water and you start hydrating your cells with water. You're going to lose weight."
iI your looking into supplements, Susanne recommends a soluble fiber formula, taken about 15-minutes before the largest meal, to fill you up and cut down on your absorption of calories.
She also recommends green tea with EGCG.
Susanne Bennett
"What is does is increases your metabolism. Our cells will burn more calories because it will increase in the metabolic rate."
Susanne wants you to remember that weight loss takes time.
Susanne Bennett
"I personally like it when you lose about five pounds a month which means if you want to lose 20-pounds that's going to take 4-months Give yourself a break. Dont be so hard on yourself."
