How to Lose Weight Fast

By Matt Taylor

So you want to lose weight fast. In that case, do what the high school wrestlers do to meet their weight limits. Put on a plastic suit, run around like a chicken-with-its-head-cut-off until you lose 10 pounds of sweat. That’s right - it is easy to lose weight fast by reducing the water in your body. Since roughly 60% of our bodies is made of water, this is a no-brainer.

But is that what you REALLY want to lose? How about that layer of fat around your belly? How about the part that sags from your arms? So when you say you want to lose weight fast… what you really mean is that you want to LOSE THE FAT! So be careful what you wish for because it may NOT be what you mean. :)

Now we clarified what we want to do. Lose THAT ugly fat. We hate it. It makes us feel horrible. It makes us depressed. And guess what? We spend most of our time worrying about what we can’t control and not a whole lot of time worrying about what we CAN control.

Let me explain… we worry about external stuff like the weather, how the boss feels about you, and geez - I’m sure some people worry about sunspots. We can laugh about it but most of our stress is caused by worrying about the things we can’t control. So think about that next time you worry about something…

So we are stressed out and still are fat. Guess what? How about trying to do something about that? It is doable and is definitely something we CAN control! Eureka! But we are forced fed by a marketing bliz from an oversaturated market of weight loss products. It confuses us and makes us literally want to shrink in a shell.

Some of those who are braver then the rest of us actually buys some of these things such as diet pills. I don’t want to get on the soapbox here but STAY AWAY from those weight loss pills! Sure, you may lose lots of weight but you may end up at the hospital. Or at the very least, you could cause long term DAMAGE to your body. I don’t know how this can be a good thing -- so believe me now or believe me later…

The best way to go about losing fat is to follow a good diet and exercise program. It CAN be simple but it WON’T be easy. What do I mean by that? Eat six times a day; plan what you are going to eat and what times you will eat. Come up with an exercise program that your body will respond to. This is making your head spin right? NOT EASY, huh?

BUT!

Following a simple plan like this WILL pay off. Gradually, you will gain muscles and burn fat to the tune of 2-3 pounds a week. So if you are 50 pounds overweight… it is entirely possible to reach your goals in 25 weeks or 6 months. I mean, what is your hurry here? Do it safely and permanently.

However, I will say this. Gaining muscles is the BEST way to lose fat. Why? Muscles burn fat and calories while you are sleeping or even watching TV. In fact, this bears repeating -- Muscles is the fat burning secret of body builders and fitness models.

So get cracking. Quit worrying about things that you can’t control. Worry about what you CAN do. If you hate your body because it is fat, well there you go. Do something about it. Learn how to eat to feed those muscles. Learn how to exercise to grow those muscles.

You can go to the library or bookstore and find out more or you can look at the two excellent books listed below. But you don’t have to work out long hours or eat rabbit food to lose fat. That is a myth and quite frankly, it really, really sucks!
