If you want to lose weight fast and stay healthy you are going to have to forget about fasting, diet pills and all many fad diets available. Let’s be real, who really believes a diet of nothing but grapefruit is a healthy diet. Your body needs specific and varied nutrients to maintain your health.

Sure you may be able to lose 10 lbs or more very quickly on these “fad diets” or diet pills but you won’t be able to keep it off. Because you are starving your body it will react in self defense by slowing down its metabolism and feeding off of muscle. You will feel sluggish and your goal is to lose fat not muscle. You will be weakening your body and its defenses against the many bugs and germs that are constantly trying to make you ill. Oh, and you can’t do it for very long. You will binge and end up right where you started or worse, you may have gained back more than you lost.

You can lose weight fast and stay healthy if you choose a diet plan that is easily adaptable to the foods you normally like to eat. It makes it a lot easier to stick with the plan. A good plan will provide the following elements:

· Every diet plan needs a calorie counter. The whole objective is to eat fewer calories than your body uses.

· A meal plan that allows you to eat most if not all of the foods you like and gives you enough variety so that you will not get bored

· It should be affordable. You can find every thing you need to know to make a good diet plan on the internet. If you prefer to save yourself the time good diet plans can be found for under $50.

There is one more element that is very important if you want to lose weight fast and stay healthy and that is exercise. Aside from the benefits to your heart and body exercise will help your body burn more calories and lose weight faster.

Hey I do think you are right! For some reason I think I have to lose that much when I really don’t. My height is 5′9′ and I’m not considering that fact that my height plays in to my weight.

I’ve seen two conflicting stories about extreme calorie restriction. One says that it causes rapid weight loss, the other that it slows the metabolism and causes an inability or decrease in speed of losing weight. Which is true? Any personal experiences?

Need to slow down Slow down and enjoy your meal - it’s one of the best techniques to lose weight quickly. Once you’ve eaten your fill, the hungry feeling leaves you; however, it can take as much as 20 minutes for your brain to get the message. Eating pizza slices slower will cause you to feel full faster. A better strategy is to concentrate on each bite instead of thinking ahead to the next bite. While you’re chewing, set your fork down and savor your food; you don’t need to be loading it up for the next mouthful. This will help you eat slower and feel full faster

Take a little less food. It’s a known fact that most people eat far too much because they have filled their plate. You often have heard the phrase about one’s eyes being bigger than one’s stomach. Dieting have prove to be the fastest key to weight quickly. Attempt to take a smaller quantity of food than you expect to consume. There is always the option of returning for more if it is needed. The food served on your plate is tempting and very hard to resist, difficult to pass on

Include regular servings of vegetables in your diet. Everyone has a few vegetables that they absolutely will not eat, but there are so many other veggies you can at least try some of them. When trying to lose weight quickly consuming more leafy greens is beneficial in several ways. A good way to lose weight quickly is to make sure you eat a wide selection of the many varieties of vegetables you have to chose from. Use your diet as a springboard to new adventures - try a vegetable you’ve never tasted before!. You’ll enjoy yourself and you might even find a new favorite dish that features veggies!

Concentrate On the Outcome. Take it slow; if you lose too much weight all at once, you’ll lose muscle mass instead of fat. This is a way you are more likely to gain the weight back maybe even more. Even if you err and get off your diet, don’t let it become a major set-back. Just pick up where you left off and concentrate on your ultimate goal. In the beginning it may seem like you’re missing out, but after a short period of healthy eating, you’ll never look back on your old eating habits. This is a step you need to master in your goal to lose weight quickly.

Gen Wright asked:


Weight loss can be challenging if you don’t have the right weight loss tools to help you along your journey. Tools are used everyday to help us complete simple tasks like fixing a loose door handle, heating up foods or even sending a letter to a friend. We think nothing of using a ***** driver, computer or even a microwave. These are just part of the everyday tools we use.

However, when it comes to losing weight people often don’t think in terms of weight loss tools to aid us in reaching our goals. Instead they think only in terms of eating healthy, exercising and finding good exercise and weight loss tips. So if we are willing to use tools for everyday tasks, why do so many people not take advantage of weight loss tools to help them lose weight?

Weight Loss Tools - What are they?

Most people don’t take advantage of these tools because they simply do not know what they are or which tools are right for them. Tools, as defined on Wikipedia, are “a device or piece of equipment which typically provides a mechanical advantage in accomplishing a physical task”. I define weight loss tools a little more loosely. To me a weight loss tool is any document, calculator or software that can help you track, record, calculate information you need to lose weight.

You could expand on this definition, making it wide open, by saying anything, rather it be a weight loss tip or weight loss program, can be considered a weight loss tool. After all, anything that helps you accomplish your task can be considered a tool. So instead of going it alone, you want to look for weight loss tools that will help you lose the weight and keep it off.

Which Weight Loss Tools are Right for You?

When it comes to finding weight loss tools, there are literally hundreds or even thousands, depending on how you define a tool for helping you lose weight. So how do you know which ones you should look for and which ones you need? Although weight loss can be difficult, the formula for weight loss is actually quite simple; consume fewer calories than you burn. In other words, you need to create a calorie deficit.

BMR Calculator / Weight Loss Calculator

In order to create a calorie deficit you first need to understand how many calories you currently burn. Your basal metabolic rate, or BMR, is the amount of calories you burn while at total rest, like sleeping or sitting in a chair. However, we typically do not spend our entire 24 hours sleeping or resting, so a BMR calculator or weight loss calculator will factor in an activity level. These calculators generally have a selection for activity levels that include sedentary, lightly active all the way to highly active.

Other factors used in the BMR calculator are your gender, age, height and weight. These factors are used as each person’s metabolic rate depends on these. For instance, someone who is taller tends to have a higher metabolism. This is because they generally have a higher amount of muscle mass. Additionally, as we age our metabolism tends to slow down, so age is also needed for the calculation. The bottom line is you first need to know how many calories you burn through your metabolism. Then and only then can you begin to create a calorie deficit.

Calorie Intake Calculator / Exercise Calculator

Once you know your BMR calories you can start creating a calorie deficit. This can be done by either consuming fewer calories, exercising more or a combination of both. In order to help you create your calorie deficit there are two weight loss tools you may need. The first, a calorie intake calculator, will help you calculate the number of calories in the foods you eat. These calculators generally have a way to search for food items and select serving sizes. Once you have provided this information these calculators will tell you how many calories are in the specific food item for the specific serving size.

The next weight loss tool to look for is an exercise calculator. These calculators typically have several different exercises to choose from, level of intensity and of course the ability to input the duration. With this information the calculator will return the approximate number of calories burned during your exercise routine.

So you can see that it is easy to create your calorie deficit once you have all the tools to give you the right calorie information. However, unless you want to track this in your head daily, there is one more weight loss tool that I would recommend.

Calorie Intake Chart

This is one weight loss tool that you can create yourself or find one for free online that you can download and save to your computer. What you want to look for or create is a document, such as Microsoft Excel, where you can track it all. The file should include the ability to write down the foods you eat and their calorie content, the exercises you did and how many calories you burned and of course factoring in your basal metabolic rate. With all this information you can easily have the document calculate your calorie deficit for the day. If you really want to get fancy, add daily, weekly and even monthly charts that track your weight, inches lost, etc.

Although there are many other weight loss tools, with just these simple tools mentioned above you are well on your way to achieving your weight loss goals. All of these tools can be found on the web and are often free. You can even download certain files or even look for weight loss software that provides it all.

Often, losing weight, even on a rapid weight loss program is something we try and fit into our otherwise busy weekly routines although it should really be considered much more important. If you need to lose weight quickly, then you need to be near perfect in executing your weight loss plan so below are some tips to help you lose weight, which should be part of your weekly routine. Not everyone loses weight at the same speed because many aspects have to be factored into this equation; a number of these are highlighted below:

*Obesity or weight problems that may run in the family

*Previous mental trauma

*Desire to lose weight

Excess weight can cause many health issues, including those of self image and worth. Of all the changes that happen to a person when they start to regain their old weight, it is those of being happy with what they are achieving that is the most pleasing. Is it surprising that rapid weight loss programs are so popular where there is so much to be gained; an approach that combines diet, exercise, emotional support and in some cases, diet supplements must be used if it is to be successful. A healthy nutritious diet will provide energy to carry out the exercise which in turn will burn off more calories; the exercise can be as simple as brisk walking to swimming if it is easier, as long as it gets the heart pumping.

Remember that even though there are many rapid weight loss plans available, everyone is different so not all will work; some people will have faster success than others; this is perfectly normal and is not an indication of failure. In instances like these it is best to substitute a more rigorous exercise program to compensate and learn to listen to your body and adjust your diet plan accordingly. If you find a plan isn’t working as it should then perhaps you will need to change the diet plan as each person’s metabolism is different and you cannot expect every diet plan to work.

Some people are unable to run, dance or swim so if you are only comfortable walking then that is fine; however, try to improve the pace you walk at as your diet progresses, remembering that you will look better when your fat is converted into muscle. The importance of drinking fresh water regularly cannot be emphasized enough; whether on a rapid weight loss program or not, don’t forget the benefits of at least six 8oz glasses of water each day because it also flushes out nasty toxins as well. Keep away from fried foods especially deep-fried as they contain a great amount of fat and whilst fish and chicken appear leaner than beef, this white meat can contain more fat than when beef is fried.

People on very low fat diets should grill the majority of their meals as much less fat is retained in the food if any at all. It is not a good idea to cut out carbohydrates altogether as they are the fuel your body needs to keep going. Using a weight loss plan like this will mean that if followed correctly then around a pound a day will be lost, depending on the individual but it must be said that failure to maintain this level of 1,000 to 1,500 calories per day will ensure the weight will be put back on.

John Howard asked:


Quick Weight Loss is really a major problem for people now days. There are many benefits of a quick weight loss. It is probably something that most people would find it appealing. To achieve a quick fat loss one should look at all of the quick weight loss diet guides and judge each by their own merits.

Some fat loss diets declare that they can help you lose lots of weight in a matter of days. This reason for this quick fat loss does of course come at a price; you are limited to eating only selected fruit and vegetables only. You can either cook these or just eat them raw, the choice is yours.

Should you choose to cook your fruit and vegetables you will have to look at your cooking methods. It is no good going on a fat loss diet if you are going to use a load of oil, grease, and fats in your cooking process.

So what’s the best diet for fat loss? The answer to that question is mostly people are afraid going to be down to you, everybody’s body is different. Because of this different results will be seen from each quick weight loss diet. Don’t give up if you don’t succeed on your first attempt; try a different quick fat loss diet.

Lastly, do these fat loss diets really work, and are there any symptoms of quick weight loss? With all diets you are recommended to consult your doctor first, weight loss diets are no different. After your successful weight loss diet you should try to maintain a constant healthy everyday diet to keep the weight off.

Most quick fat loss pounds are just useless fluids. After your body has flushed water out of your system, the scale will show a weight loss of about 5 pounds. The quick weight loss is always short lived. Immediately after you drink any fluids, your body will hold the water and your fat loss will disappear. Low carbohydrate diets also result in the typical loss of body water. Dieters are excited when they see the weight loss, but the excitement is always short lived. Once carbohydrates are introduced back into their diet, the fat loss is immediately gone.

Instead of being scammed into all the fat loss claims, you should try a few of these common weight loss tips when dining out. Ultimately these small changes can help you to get results faster in the long run. You will not see quick fat loss but you will see some very good long term changes in your body.

1. Start your night with a soup salad. If you fill up on healthy foods first, your body will tend to eat less of the high calorie meals.

2. Immediately ask for doggy bag when you feel full. This will help to sway you from eating anymore and feeling sick.

3. Always ask for a low calorie or fat free salad dressing.

4. At a fast food restaurant, always order the small meals.

5. Always make sure to eat with a good amount of people. This will help you not overeat and feel disgusted.

These easy tips will not result in quick fat loss but, you will start seeing the long term success in virtually no time. Remember to always think long term and stay as far as possible form scam diets promising super fast fat loss overnight.

Antonio LeMaire asked:


Most diet and weight loss programs have a depressingly high failure rate, with people either never reaching their weight goals or reaching them and regaining all the weight they lost (and sometimes more) in about one year.

Getting the weight off fast is so desirable that many of us are willing to sacrifice health and ignore common sense in the hope that some new weight loss program or scheme will work. This pipe dream can unfortunately outweigh the negative consequences. So let’s examine the downside of dieting.

What Is An Unhealthy Weight Loss Program?

* Any weight loss program that is not nutritionally sound;

* One that works against what the body naturally needs like vitamins, minerals, and a minimum number of calories a day;

* One that requires you to go without eating (for example, fasting or meal replacement drinks);

* One that puts your body into an unnatural state, such as starvation or ketosis.

Your body can only lose a few pounds a week on a consistent basis. If you lose more than that initially, it’s likely just water loss. So any weight loss program that promises you will lose five pounds a week, or 25 pounds in 3 weeks, is guaranteeing you will be losing water and muscle mass not fat.

Almost every popular weight loss program out there falls into one of the following diet categories: low calorie diets, meal replacement drinks, packaged foods, unbalanced nutrients, and ketosis diets. Let’s see how they stack up.

LOW CALORIE DIETS

Whenever you drastically reduce your calories, the body enters an unnatural state and its defenses kick in. So when calories drop below, say, 1000 calories a day, your metabolism will shut down in an effort to conserve energy. And weight loss with a sluggish metabolism is very difficult.

Your body will start using muscle tissue to provide energy, which again leads to a decrease in the metabolism. Taken to an extreme, the body will break down its vital parts (such as the heart muscle) trying to meet its energy needs.

In addition to these drawbacks, trying to maintain the weight loss over time is nearly impossible because your body is now used to making do with very few calories. Going back to “normal” eating causes the weight to pile back on.

For this reason, low cal weight loss programs rarely work over the long haul.

MEAL REPLACEMENT DRINKS

One of the most unnatural things for your body is to go without solid food, which is what meal replacement plans ask it to do. Some people think that dieting will be easier if they aren’t confronted with daily food choices and the pounds will just fall off. This may be true while they are on the liquid diet. But what about afterwards?

Where will the good eating habits come from after you’ve lost the weight? This is something that takes time, practice and knowledge. Dieters need to establish a healthy attitude towards a life-long eating plan. And no “fad” weight loss program or liquid lunch can help you with that.

Getting hooked on meal replacements can become a destructive way to view food. It often leads dieters to fear food or binge to “feed” their cravings after a long period of deprivation. And that’s just the psychological side of the equation.

The lack of fiber in such weight loss programs can be a threat to good physical health. And when the body is denied enough solid food, the intestines go into overdrive absorbing calories and nutrients. This helps you during the diet period, but later it makes it much easier to regain the weight.

Another yo-yo weight loss program that hurts you in the end.

UNBALANCED NUTRIENT PLAN

Be cautious about any weight loss program that has strict rules about good foods and bad foods. Sure, high fat and high sugar foods might be considered bad for the waistline, but moderation not abstinence is key to success.

Why? Because eating the same foods every day (say, grapefruit or high protein meals) is going to result in two things: nutritional imbalance and boredom.

All foods are made up of the same nutrients in different amounts: fat, carbohydrates, and protein. It is the right proportion of these nutrients that will bring about weight loss - not the avoidance of “bad” foods and the consumption of only “good” or magical foods.

In the world of dieting, no one food or nutrient group is magical. Variety and moderation are the keys to a healthy diet and a successful weight loss program.

PACKAGED FOODS

To stay at your ideal body weight, you have to learn how to make proper food choices. By following a packaged food weight loss program you are postponing the inevitable, and spending plenty of $$$ in the process.

Another problem with this kind of weight loss program is that the foods provided are not always healthy. Read the package label and you will see chemicals, preservatives, sodium, sugar and saturated fats. And when all you can eat is packaged food, how do you plan meals with other people? Going out to restaurants and parties and enjoying family meals becomes a big hassle.

Your weight loss program then becomes a burden, not only to you, but to those around you.

KETOSIS DIETS

Ketosis has been defined as:

“An abnormal condition marked by excessive production of ketone bodies. Often caused by high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets such as the Atkins diet.”

Atkins and certain other weight loss programs are based on the principle of restricting carbohydrates to the point that the body enters into ketosis. On the surface, a ketogenic diet seems to work for two reasons: First, you’ll lose large amounts of weight, which is very pleasing to the dieter. Secondly, you don’t experience hunger.

But there are serious drawbacks. Your weight goes down due to water loss (which occurs when you restrict carbohydrates) and a loss of lean muscle tissue. This is NOT true, lasting weight loss.

The loss of appetite comes from having ketones building up in the body, which can harm your health. Side effects of a ketosis weight loss program can include fatigue, kidney stones, gout, and muscle loss. The longer you follow such a diet, the greater the risk to your health.

Clearly not a wise choice of weight loss program, not for the short term or the long.

WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM QUESTIONNAIRE

There are always new weight loss programs coming onto the market and going in and out of style. To evaluate if a weight loss program is healthy and sensible for you, ask yourself the following questions:

* Is the plan nutritionally sound?

* Will it help improve my weight, metabolism, cholesterol level, blood pressure, energy level, and general health?

* Will I be eating real food and not have to buy special formulas, drinks, etc?

* Will I be eating a wide variety of foods rather than just a few “diet” foods?

* Am I allowed to have some treats and eat my favorite foods?

* Can I eat out in restaurants, have a glass of wine with dinner, or some dessert?

* Can I follow this weight loss program without it interfering with my lifestyle?

* Can I lose weight without feeling hungry?

* Will l develop eating habits for life-long weight control with this weight loss program?

* Is this the last diet I will ever need to finally reach and maintain my ideal weight?
