Weight Loss

Weight loss is the name of the game and for many fast weight loss is the name of the game. The truth of either game is not that it is that hard to loose weight, it is just hard to keep it off. It is easy to do something for a little while, like diet or exercise, but when it comes to doing it for the long term people have problems. So, I will propose a few simple solutions.

Knowing that your body reacts to whatever you do it and that it will strive to maintain balance it is important to realize that if we do something for too long your body will normalize. This is why prolonged dieting does not work, after awhile your body will set itself to work off of the lower amount of calorie. It will do this by dropping weight, fat and muscle to a level that it can maintain with the fewer number of calories. So it is in your best interest to keep your body guessing as to how many calories you are going to consume. This means that eating that pizza on the weekend is fine on occasion. So, to make my point a little bit more clear, vary your diet, cycle your carbs, fat, and protein. Keep your body guessing. Realize that if you want drop a few pounds all you have to do is diet for a short period of time and then refeed.

Next solution, take a look at my intermitted fasting experience. I didn’t find that it worked too well for me, but it help many people with weight loss. It also helps clean you out and detoxify your body. The fasts do not cause most people to slip into any type of starvation mode because they are of a short duration. The most important factor here is that you must resist the urge to binge on the days when you are not fasting.

One of the most simple approaches to weight loss is to simply eat in a reactive state. Let me explain a little further. If you go out and gorge on Friday night, skip breakfast and maybe lunch on Saturday. If you hit the gym hard, eat a big meal. The key is that you are giving your body what it needs or you are withholding what it doesn’t, it is all based on what you have been doing in the past 24 hours. This is a great way to approach the holidays.

Juice fasting is a great way to manage weight as well, it can be great for weight loss or for just a detox, and it will make you feel great. You can juice fast as long as you want, just make sure you have lots of fresh fruit and veggies and a high quality juicer. These are not cheap, but they do last forever. Doing a juice fast will often give you more nutrients in a single meal than many get in an entire week.

Fast weight loss can be achieved with any of these methods, not to mention weight loss or weight management. They key is to implement them into your long term plan and not play the yo-yo weight loss game.
