Expert Advice On Your Weight Loss Goals

Everywhere you look today there is someone trying to tell you about how wonderful their weight loss pills are or about some special fast diet to help you lose weight quickly, but there are some questions you should be asking of them like “Has your method been proven?” or “Will I grow a third eye if I take this stuff?”.

Most of the programs and pills available on the market today are designed and marketed to satisfy the desires of people wanting to lose weight in the quickest way possible with the least amount of thought and effort.

They simply want you to buy into their program or their system, which generally involves many supplements, exercise equipment that will seldom be used, or a DVD you’ll seldom watch.

Mid afternoon and more often, late night television provides evidence of this if losing weight is a problem you have.

Health researchers have found that there are only a handful of ideals you need to implement that will literally force your body to eliminate body fat and, thus, weight…if you make them habits in your daily life. The question you have to ask yourself is, “Do I listen to the marketers on TV or do I listen to the scientific research that has been proven?”

It is possible to burn 10% of your unwanted weight in body fat in the next 30 days and continue to burn it off every month until you have the body you want…and these 5 principles, or steps, will make it possible for you too, even long term, IF you adopt these principles as part of your everyday lifestyle.

If you sat down and really thought about it, what kind of nonsense have you been taught about losing weight from the media? LOTS! And the quicker you forget about that stuff, and the sooner you start following sound advice, the sooner you will be well into your fat loss journey.

When you think of a fast diet what do you think of? Maybe eating lettuce and drinking water for a week straight? How about all protein and no carbs? Just grapefruits or cabbage soup? You don’t, and in fact you SHOULDN’T, starve yourself and take part in all that nonsense if you want to lose weight quickly.

Your goal is to remove fat from your body, not just weight, because fat weighs much less than lead body mass, so if you focus on removing fat, then you will look and feel better, even though you won’t look as big. You don’t even have to spend countless hours working out, however adding even a moderate amount of exercise of any kind is a great compliment to a healthy lifestyle and will always aid in the process of losing weight. Simple adjustments are sometimes all it takes to condition your body to be a fat burning machine 24/7 and provide you with an energy level you may not have experienced for a while.

Most people believe that fruit juice is good for you, and if consumed in small quantities it is, but the reality is that 100% pure fruit juices are full of natural sugars, and once they are in your body will get stored as fat quickly. Such is also the case with whole grain products. Many people believe them all to be healthy, but only certain types are, so know the facts before consuming whole wheat this and that.

Fat free products are quite popular because, like infomercials, they satisfy a need that people who want to lose weight have, which is to lose weight as fast as possible. And if they think they can do that by eating “fat free” then they will easily do that. The reality is that fat free products are full of sugar, and if you want to lose weight quickly, and you can, then you need to start by limiting your sugar intake.

Don’t completely eliminate fruits and bread in your daily diet. Simply limit how much you consume of them and when you consume them. Replacement options for breads that are good for you include sprouted grains and quinoa. As for fruits, well, as the old saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”.

Don’t get caught up in what the media says about fat intake. Fat is actually good for you and will help you lose weight, if you consume the right kinds. Great sources of “good fat” are grape seed oil, butter (the real kind), raw nuts, and avocados. Fats you want to avoid are all hydrogenated oils, especially canola, and imitation butters.

Avoid artificial sweeteners as often as possible. As a general rule of thumb, if you have to choose between artificial or plain sugar, choose the sugar. But whenever possible, always choose a pure can sugar or natural honey as a means of sweetening something up.

When assembling your diet plan, go with whole foods as much as possible. Whole food means food with one ingredient and no processing involved. Generally, things like fish, steak, chicken, or other meat, as well as fruits, nuts, and veggies.

So, here are the 5 principles you need to know for the best fast diet and weight loss strategies:

1. Learn which foods initiate the burning of fat.

2. Understand the types of food that will NOT burn fat.

3. Get the foods that aid in burning fat.

4. Consume the food you buy to help you burn fat.

5. Consume the food at the right times to maintain the burning of fat.

I’ve only found one source that covers all 5 of these bullet points thoroughly, and backs each point up with not only scientific proof, but also case studies and experience from nutrition and health experts who have uncovered these truths about what a fast diet really means and how you really can enjoy quick weight loss.

Now that you’ve lost all those excess pounds it’s time to come up with a plan to keep them off! It really would be a shame to put them all back on again. Retaining some daily fitness training in your weight loss activities is an excellent way to do this. You can also grow some muscles to build up your physique. See how John Cena has done just that.
