Fast Ways to Lose Weight

Some of us are all for losing weight the natural and healthy way and are prepared to put in time and work. Others are more fickle. You are always looking for the “magic pill” or the new “fad diet”. How many articles have you read from fitness professionals that shun these quick methods and claim that they don’t work? But you don’t care, you are still determined to find fast ways to lose weight.

The reality is that SOME short cut methods DO work. However, there are side effects. If you are willing to deal with these side effects then you are a candidate for an accelerated weight loss method.

The biggest problem is that fast weight loss methods almost never last. The reason is that in order to permanently lose weight you need to undergo a permanent change in lifestyle. The way that you look is governed by how you are eating/working out most of the time. So if you normally eat burgers and cake and you take a week off, you will still look like you eat burgers and cake. The converse is also true – if you normally each chicken and lettuce and you eat shit for a week you will still look like you eat chicken and lettuce. See this.

The only way to solve the problem of results that don’t last is to go on an extreme diet/workout routine for a few weeks, and then back off to a still effective, but less extreme routine. In this case what will most likely happen is that you will gain back less than you lost. For instance, let’s say we have a slightly overweight chick called Diet Dotty who weighs 135 lbs. She is going to the new pool party in Vegas in exactly one month and she MUST look fabulous. So she pays $5 for the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet and loses 10 lbs to become 125 lbs.  She tans herself properly, splurges on a Dior bikini, and looks amazing standing around by the pool and sipping a mojito. She ecstatically turns down the hot guy with the big muscles thinking to herself that she is too good. Mission accomplished. Dotty gets home and goes back to a sustainable and healthy diet and workout routine. The gains back 4 lbs and becomes 129 lbs. Still a 6 lb overall weight loss and a chance to look fabulous at the pool. That may be worth it for you.

The next problem with fast ways to lose weight is the health risks. There are various supplements and diet pills that are not so great for our health and may cause us to not feel well and even cause permanent health risks in rare cases.

The solution to this problem is moderation. It is true that the healthiest ways to lose weight are slow and natural, but getting a little help along the way will not necessarily cause permanent damage. This is a trade-off that you have to choose – optimal health or fast weight loss? If you follow an “accelerated” program for one month and you are in good health, chances are your body will be able to recover. PLEASE REMEMBER, the key with this theory is that for the period that you are following an extreme weight loss program you are not damaging your body in other ways. So NO DRINKING and get your rest. If your body is strong it is more likely to fight off the negative effects of the supplement you are taking.

All that said, let’s go over fast ways to lose weight:

1. Follow the Xtreme Fat Loss diet plan. This is by far the best “emergency” diet plan that I have seen out there. If you are willing to go balls out, this is the program for you. For more info see this.
2. Take an appetite suppressant and restrict your calories to the bottom of your range. The easiest way to find this number is (body weight x 10), so a 125 lb woman would consume 1250 calories per day. One of the best appetite suppressants on the market today is Syntrax Fyre.
3. Severely restrict your carbohydrates to Atkins-like levels EXCEPT right after a hard workout. This means you will be consuming somewhere around 50-100 carbs/day on workout days, and less than 20 on non-workout days. True that in the beginning you will lose a lot of water, but eventually you will lose fat since the amount of energy that it takes to digest protein is actually 25% of the calories you take in.
4. Do a juice fast. This is actually not unhealthy, although in the beginning it is a bit unpleasant. See details here.

So there you have it. Plan your trip to Vegas and put one of the above in action. Let me know how it goes.
