Fat Loss 4 Idiots Review

Are there foods to eat that actually burn fat if you eat them? The answer is YES.

These foods can be incorporated any diet. should make them an essential part of your dietary regime.

What then are far burning foods? Basically, fat burning foods are foods that burn more calories than the caloric content of the foods itself.

Every farmer knows (that raises pigs) that there are certain foods which actually burn more fat than the caloric content of the food itself, so they avoid feeding these foods to their animals (which are sold by weight!).

These fat burning foods or so called negative calorie foods are natural plant foods, and also certain dairy items.

The fat burners then fall into three basic groups:
1. The Citrus group
2. The Cellulose-rich Vegetables and Fruits group
3. The Dairy group

The Citrus Group includes:
Limes
Lemons
Grapefruit
Tangerines
Oranges
Kiwi (not a citrus but extra-rich in Vitamin C, thus a fat burner)

The Cellulose-rich Vegetables and Fruits group includes:
watermelon
cabbage
asparagus
carrot
beet root
broccoli
apple
blueberries

The Dairy group includes:
Non-fat milk
Low-fat yogurt
White (fresh) cheese

A word must be mentioned about the fat-burning capacity of dairy foods.

It is now proven clinically that calcium-rich foods (especially dairy foods) assist weight loss by increasing fat breakdown in fat cells themselves.

This means that the non-fatty dairy foods are fat burners and should be included in any diet. Also the studies showed that it is not only the calcium (for example, taken as supplements), as the dairy products far out-performed simple supplements in weight loss controlled experiments.

It must also be mentioned that eating the above fat burners will help lose weight but you need to add some mild daily exercise. This can be in the form of walking or running, but it must be daily and for periods of no less than 20 to 30 minutes. The pulse-rate must climb to near 100 beats per minute, and a light sweat should appear to indicate you are helping your metabolism turn back on. The foods also will have a most positive effect on this increased metabolism.

Another interesting fact is that by eating these foods and daily exercising your body will continue to burn fat even after the exercise is completed. It also has a cumulative effect.

It must also be remembered that a strict rule of diet (and physics) is that you do not lose weight unless YOU BURN (USE) MORE CALORIES THAN YOU CONSUME. So, the logic and practical application of eating the fat-burning foods, and waking up the body by exercise, hold true.

You also do not have to count calories, as you be able to understand if you are negative calories (consumed) or positive calories (consumed) by simple weighing yourself daily.

Its unbelievable but being overweight has now moved from a social nuisance and domestic embarrassment to an official disease.

The American Heart Association has announced obesity a dangerous epidemic and a major risk for heart disease. More than 70% of US adults are overweight and that figure is rapidly increasing.

But by following three simple steps in your everyday life you do not have to become one of the above statistics. They are easy to follow without time constraints and don't require a complete lifestyle change. These three steps are:

1. Strength Training - Nowadays you do not have to live in a gym to put on functional muscle. Short High Intensity sessions performed once a week is all that is required to elevate the metabolism for total fat burning.

2. A Small Decrease in Daily Calories - Diets don't work (everybody knows this by now) but by decreasing your daily calories by a small amount, the weight loss is body fat alone and not lean tissue and water that is associated with crash diets.

Remember fat accumulates on the body over a long period of time so it must come off slowly.

3. More Incidental Activity - Instead of driving try walking, walk instead of taking elevators or escalators; take the stairs and so on. Just keep moving through out the day.

Lets have a look at the Three Steps in more detail below:

Strength Training

Between the ages of 20 and 70 the average person loses one quarter of their muscle mass. Running, cycling or other aerobic sports will not prevent this loss.

This is very disturbing because the muscles are the engines of the body and every pound of muscle burns 100 calories every day.

By adding just 10 pounds of functional muscle to your body, you will burn off 60 pounds of fat over the next year.

Providing you take in the same amount of calories, it will keep burning those extra pounds year after year! The amount of fat the body can burn is directly related to the lean muscle your body has.

If you don't perform weight training to maintain your muscle tissue, you will lose half a pound of the fat burning tissue per year after the age of 20 years. In simpler terms the more functional muscle you have on your body the more fat you will burn up.

Small Decrease in Daily Calories

For years now, we have been told to use dieting to rid the excess fat from our bodies.

The trouble with this concept is that the low calorie restricted diet would throw the body into starvation mode, with the body holding onto the fat and using precious muscle tissue for energy.

This would then lower the metabolism causing greater muscle loss and when the diet is broken the unwanted fat would not only return but actually increase because to the lowered metabolism.

The way around this is to cut your daily calorie intake by a small amount of calories only. This will stop any starvation mechanisms from clicking in.

You can do this by making up a seven day eating plan and writing down every thing you eat for the week, and then work out the calories you have eaten with a calorie counter. Divide this figure by seven and you have your daily calorie value.

Decrease daily calorie value by a couple of hundred calories per day and no more. This will generate slow weight loss and the majority will be fat loss only. The daily calories should be consumed during the day with small frequent meals.

The calories should come from a balanced diet (no fad diets please) with the required amount of micronutrients, vitamins and minerals. As well as containing the required amounts of fibre, fat, protein and carbohydrates.

More Incidental Activity

Fat is burned from the body when cells oxidize to release energy in the form of exercise. When the exercise is done slowly to moderately then the majority of energy is taken from the fat stores.

The key to effective aerobic training that burns off maximum fat is long-term consistency not intensity. It doesn't matter if you run a mile, jog a mile or walk a mile you will burn exactly the same amount of calories.

The best exercise by far for the purpose of fat-loss is fast walking either indoors on the treadmill or outdoors. Other aerobic activities are the treadmill, bike, climber or any other training gear found in or out of the Gym.

Start with 100 minutes of controlled incidental activity per week increasing this to 200 minutes a week or more. In all other activities try to move, move, move.

Try parking the car further away from your destination so you can walk the extra distance, hide all your remote controls so you have to get up and change the channels manually. These all help burn those extra calories and body fat from your frame.

So go ahead, by incorporating these three simple fat loss steps into your everyday life you will not have to change your lifestyle or be subject to time constraints.

Coconut Oil - Use It Externally

In support of other points of view, Coconut Oil is one of the best products available. You can obtain the maximum benefit of Coconut Oil when applied topically.

Let's face it, Coconut Oil does not taste that great. You can use it in place of butter and in salad dressings in place of other oils but, it has a heavy taste and may not be appreciated by the taste pallet. In addition to using it externally, getting used to using Coconut Oil internally will be most beneficial to your Weight Loss regimen. It will seem as if the extra subcutaneous tissue is just melting away. You will notice a favorable difference by the external use of Coconut Oil.

Use Coconut Oil that does not have any additives. I have found that the kind in the jar is best because it is hard when you use it and stays in the palm of your hand when you apply it to the targeted area. It also has a higher vitamin A and E content. It melts as you massage it in. Just think of it this way, as it melts into your skin so is the fat that you want melted away.

Best used externally, is when you just get done bathing. Your skin is already supple. Towel dry then apply the Coconut Oil starting at the face. Apply on the neck area then the shoulders and arms. Working your way down toward the feet, always using an upward stroke with the palm of your hand. This is a specific massage tactic that increases the flow of oxygen to the heart.

You don't need to use a lot, just enough. While applying the Coconut Oil, make sure you rub it into your skin well. The facial area is a different story; apply gently. Coconut Oil will help rehydrate your skin.

Coconut Oil is absorbent. In other words, it will absorb into the skin and not cause an oil affect on your clothes like petroleum products do. Use it in place of baby oil when removing makeup. Baby oil and other petroleum based products dehydrate the skin. Petroleum based products WILL increase the cause of wrinkles around the eyes and puffiness as it is non absorbent.

Have you ever had eye surgery for cosmetic purposes or know someone who has? Little did you know that when the surgeon cuts that little line at the corner of your eyes and squeezes out all that oil, that his work is basically done. And you paid the doc thousands of dollars to do it as you did it to yourself by using a non absorbent product. Because Coconut Oil is absorbent, it actually soaks through the dermis layer of the skin and thus causes the -melt fat- effect. In addition to using it internally you will feel the better for it.

Weight Loss or Not, using Coconut Oil WILL cause your skin to not just look hydrated but feel hydrated. Your overall body hydration inside and out will be greatly benefited. You WILL love your body for it and love yourself for using it in all aspects of your daily life in making Healthy Choices. The Tin Man needed lubrication, we do too. Coconut Oil is a wonderful addition to your Weight Loss Regimen

Losing weight is probably one of the hardest tasks a person can face, but it doesn't have to be. It is a simple formula of eating healthy, getting some exercise, and drinking plenty of water. That's it!

I know, I can hear all the moaning from here, but that really is the formula for losing weight. By the way, I am not some skinny person who found this information in some book, and decided to pass it on.

I struggled with a weight problem my whole life, and one day while looking in the mirror after a shower, I joined a weight loss clinic. All they did was give me some photo copied menu's to follow, told me to exercise, drink water, gave me a dietary supplement, and had me come in every week to get weighed. No it wasn't weight watchers.

I was upset to say the least when I left their office because I paid a fairly large sum of money (up front), and this was it. Where are the specialist, the doctors?

When I got home I read their menus. They wanted me to eat chicken, CHICKEN, I don't eat chicken, I eat pizza. They wanted me to drink water. WATER, I don't drink water, I drink soda. This is not good!

But then reality set in, and I realized that eating pizza and drinking soda is what got me where I was, and it wasn't a good place, so I knew I had to do it. The foods were basically what we should all be eating anyway. Lean meat, poultry, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

The enemies are flour, sugar, and salt. If you can keep most of your meals to the foods above, and stay away from the enemies, you have a very good beginning for losing weight. A good idea is to buy a cookbook that has recipes for losing weight and eating healthy. Try to stay away from store bought foods that are already prepared. They are usually not a good choice.

If you need to buy store bought, learn to check ingredient labels, because they can be very deceiving. See how many serving they say are in the package. That's a favorite trick of food packagers, to say there are 4 or 5 servings in a package, that anyone can see is for one or two people.

Now when you read the label, and it says 25 grams of carbs, you say, gee, that's not too bad. But that's 25 grams per serving, and your package has 5 servings. Ut O. That's how they get you.

The bottom line is if you make a commitment to follow this weight loss plan, it will work! Just slowly work your way into it. Don't decide to start losing weight Monday, or next Tuesday, or the first of the year, or whatever, start today. But start slowly, this is not a diet, this is a life style change. Get the word diet out of your head. You are going to lose weight by changing your eating habits forever.

To finish my story, I followed the plan that the weight loss center put me on to the letter, and started losing weight quickly. I was losing two to three pounds a week, eating three meals a day. After six months the weight loss place I was going to wanted me to renew my membership, but because of the price they charged I dropped out.

I knew the plan, and could do it on my own. The only problem was they would not give me the weight loss supplement any more, and that really slowed down my results, to about a pound or less a week.

It's hard to find a good safe supplement, and that took me some time, but I finally did and got back on track. When I started this program I was 305 pounds, and I got down to 188 pounds and still holding. Looking back, it was all worth it because I feel so much better, and I know I am much healthier.

My mother always had two sayings that I would run through my head whenever I was having a weak moment, "A minute on the lips, forever on the hips" and " Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels".

After losing over one hundred pounds, Glenn Downer started writing articles on how to lose weight, the safe and natural way, and keep it off. He has written several articles for various newsletters and websites. You can visit his web site at: http://www.losing-weight-reviews.com

Most dieters will experience highs and lows in the results of their weight loss efforts. Figuring out how to max out your weight loss can be complex. Many put in some hard work the first week, eating well and doing their exercise routine. As a result, they do lose the weight, sometimes significant weight loss approaching ten pounds. Of course this is very exciting to the overweight person who then starts visualizing how they will look next week, next month and calculating the total weight loss based on the weight they managed to lose that first week!

The problem with all of that positive thinking is a lot of the weight loss in the first week will be excess water weight.

So the following few weeks the dieter will work harder on the diet, and maybe exercise even more looking forward to looking great sooner than they thought. Then they weight themselves. They only lost two or three pounds in the week. How did that happen? And after all that effort. This can be very discouraging, and possibly lead the dieter to give up, or the more determined dieter will work that much harder and see significant weight loss again.

The determined dieter who takes in very few calories will also hit the brick wall - no weight loss. Why? Because they cut the calories so much their bodies went into starvation mode and started holding on to whatever nourishment they were taking in with a vengeance. Their metabolism has turned on them.

Losing weight is not a simple matter. It is finding a balance between diet and exercise, without kicking your metabolism into low gear. Losing a lot of weight in a short period of time is not usually sustainable. Finding a balance of eating healthy foods and the right amount of exercise is the key weight loss over the long haul.

Many diets can result in weight loss but whether that is good weight loss is another matter all together. A good diet is one which will help you to lose fat but sadly a large number do no such thing.

Different diets result in the loss of weight but very few actually get rid of fat. Numerous diets seem to work in the initial stages but then seem to stop all together and there is a good reason for this.

Basically all these diets help you to lose is fluid, they have no benefit when it comes to losing fat which if where honest is what we all really want to get rid off.

Another negative of the many low calorie diets available is that they cause your body to falsely assume you are starving yourself. This makes your metabolism store fat instead of getting rid of it and instead burn muscle. It also makes the metabolism work at a slower rate.

The metabolism working at a slower rate means you will burn your calories at a far lower rate result in very little weight loss - unless you really are starving yourself.

Fat loss diets are, in general, the weight loss programs which bring in results slowly over time rather than quickly so it tends to be a choice of either fast weight loss which doesn't get rid of fat or doing it steadily over time.

The only diet that provides relatively fast weight loss and gets rid of fat is one based around the idea of shifting calories but other than that you will after decide which is more important to you - Fast weight loss or getting rid of fat.

Calorie shifting is the only diet that currently results in fast fat loss and you can find out more about it at http://shiftingcalories.blogspot.com

Katie Turner lost 34 lbs after having her twins and you could too. To find out more click here.

I wrote an article on losing weight before. It was well received and I have added some new tips. Lift weights. A lot of people only think of this when they want to get stronger. But you can burn a lot of calories when you lift and it can speed up your metabolism for hours afterwards.

Run sprints. Another common misconception is that you need long endurance running to burn calories.

But running sprints at top speed for 8 to 10 seconds can burn a lot of calories and speed up the metabolism.

It's also great for people that want to lose weight without hurting there explosive capability (endurance running will hinder your explosiveness. I once heard that most marathon runners have a 12" vertical jump.)

You don't necessarily have to eat less. You might just need to change what you eat. Try eating more fruits, vegetables, lean meats grains and low fat dairy products. I recommend having skim milk you can even have chocolate milk as that is usually low fat.

You should eat healthy and watch your calories five days a week but you can take two days a week to eat more and enjoy less healthy foods.

If you want to eat something that you shouldn't during the "rest of the week" then eat it in the morning. You should eat less as the day gets later. Sometimes it's best to eat a little something now rather than a lot later. What I mean by that is that just quitting your favorite foods cold turkey can cause you to really pack them in later.

So letting yourself have some every now and then can help give you the drive to keep watching what you eat. Use the two days a week where you are allowed to eat more and the early morning eating you help you with this. It can be a lot easier to say "I can't have that right now but I can have some in the morning" or "I can't have that today but in a couple days I will be able to have as much as I want" as opposed to saying "I can never eat that again" or "I can't have any till I lose at least 75 pounds".

If you take that attitude you will probably give up before you get there.

Also I have heard that taking some sugar free gum can help you overcome cravings for sweets. I am not a fan of artificial sweeteners, but I do make an exception with gum. Any gum that you chew (sugar free or not) will have less calories for you then eating something. And not only can gum help overcome cravings but you are also less likely to eat something when you have gum in your mouth.

Not to promote tobacco use but have you ever known someone that chewed tobacco? They don't eat when they have "just put a pinch in" the same thing can work for you! That's why I recommend keeping a good tasting and long lasting gum with you.

When you get a craving for sweets, doesn't work well when you are REALLY hungry but if you are just craving something or a little hungry then have some gum. Or if you are getting ready to go somewhere that you might be tempted like the gas station then pop in a piece.

Personally have chewed Extra sugar free gum, but I don't think that it's all that great. Anyway I would be more worried about what the sugar does to your teeth then gaining weight from gum with sugar in it. I have heard that Orbit sugar free sweetmint gum works well for this purpose.

Drink at least one glass of water BEFORE every meal. I also recommend have a glass of water or skim milk with ever meal to help fill you up.

To strengthen your body you slowly build up the weight and get progressively stronger.

To strengthen your mind you challenge it with progressively harder material.

The same thing can be done with your appetite. You should stop eating before you get full at every meal. If you eat till you are no longer famished but are not yet full you can progressively train yourself to feel satisfied with less.

We have probably heard it a hundred times at least but it's probably worth mentioning at least one more time. Do the little things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator or park father away from the entrance and walk a little extra.

Make it a game what can you do to burn more calories today?

One of the biggest reasons that most people fail trying to lose weights is probably a combination of procrastination and hard to archive goals.

People put off dieting till things get really bad "I am not really that fat" "It's just a little baby fat" "I will lose it easy enough when I want to" Then real quick they realizes that they are way over weight and they want to lose it right now! "I am huge and I am going somewhere warm for the holidays! I need to lose 50 pounds in two weeks so that I can go to the beach!"

Then they diet for a week and a halve actual lose a good 5 pounds but quit because they are not going to reach their goal and they feel the they can't go there whole life without ever eating that "stuff" ever again (which is what they told themselves when they started this diet).

If they would have started sooner (like when they only had 25 pounds to lose and had 4 months to do it) then they could have worked themselves into shape (remember the sprints? Well they are a great weight loss tool but a lot of people that need to lose weight aren't in good enough shape to do anything at top speed! By losing a little weight you can make it easier to lose more weight.)

They could have also took advantage of my "eating loop holes" and had that "stuff" that they were really craving. They could have had it in the morning or on there "off" days. And that might have even been able to eat just as much as they wanted if they changed there diet.

So some of the things that you can do to burn more fat are Lift weights, Sprint, Do little things to burn more calories, Eat less, Eat differently, Eat at different times.

All of this can be done in almost limitless combinations.

Thinking about weight loss surgery? You're not alone. Over two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese. Many are looking for ways to lower their bodyweight and enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle. A fast surgical procedure seems like a great option. But, for the vast majority of people, weight loss surgery should be a last resort.

One of the most common types of weight loss surgery is liposuction, a procedure that removes excess fat from the waistline. Thousands of people - mostly women - undergo liposuction surgery every year. For many, it appears to be a much easier alternative to diet and exercise. Yet recent studies show that removing abdominal fat with liposuction provides almost none of the health benefits of "normal" weight loss: lowered levels of blood sugar, insulin and inflammation-related biomarkers, not to mention increased cardiovascular fitness, improved muscle tone, stronger bones, etc.

Another little-known problem with liposuction weight loss surgery: over 40% of patients regain the weight they lose from the procedure. Why? Simply because they make no healthy lifestyle changes. Some even believe that they can exercise less and eat more now that they have fewer abdominal fat cells. Obviously this isn't true and thousands of people find that out the hard way.

Other types of weight loss surgery are designed for the severely obese - generally those people with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher. These surgeries, which include gastric bypass and various "banding" and "stapling" procedures, have helped many formerly-obese people enjoy a higher-quality of life. However, all of these operations involve a considerable amount of risk.

Some of the risks associated with weight loss surgery include:

Death - According to the Mayo Clinic, about one in 200 to 300 people who has gastric bypass surgery dies from the procedure.

Post-surgery complications - Some weight loss surgery patients experience severe complications such as internal bleeding, infections, and blood clots. Others have to undergo follow-up procedures to correct complications such as abdominal hernias.

Gallstones - More than a third of patients develop gallstones as a result of losing large amounts of bodyweight following a weight loss surgery procedure.

Nutrient deficiencies - Some weight loss surgeries disrupt the digestion process. Without careful dietary supplementation this can lead to deficiencies in many important nutrients, especially vitamins B12 and D, iron, calcium, and folate.

Anyone considering weight loss surgery needs to weigh the risks against the benefits. They also need to realize that these extreme procedures are not cosmetic. Most patients only end up losing about 30% of their bodyweight and remain overweight for life. Simply put, weight loss surgery alone will not make you thin and beautiful. Yes, if you are extremely overweight, it may provide tremendous health benefits. But if you're just looking for a way to get thin without the "hassles" of healthy diet and regular exercise you better think again.

There is much more than your physical appearance when it comes to weight loss. Losing weight in a healthy manner affects the quality of your life. I affects your health and self esteem. Losing weight and exercise help to eliminate health risks and depression. When on successful embarks on a weight loss program that involves lifestyle changes, the positive benefits that one experiences are priceless. Of course, it does not hurt that we look better for our efforts.

Many of the articles that I see suggest that you see your doctor to recommend the best weight loss program for you. My belief is that nothing is further from the truth. Doctors receive limited training in diet and nutrition in medical school.

However, if you have an on going medical condition, are being treated by a doctor or are obese, then it is wise to consult with your physician first.

There is no one diet that is suitable for everyone. It is necessary to do your research before changing your diet. It is important to learn everything that you can. Once you determine what it is that you are going to do, the chances are that you will do it for some time to come.

In the mean time, here are some quick tips that help you lose weight quickly.

The first is this: Rapid weight loss involves a variety of tools. This includes transforming your thinking, a realistic exercise program and in some instances, diet supplements. Find a diet plan that you can live with. Successful weight loss involves changing your diet, not going on a diet. Add to this some organic exercise program. What I mean by this is to stay away from the gym. Walking, running, swimming and riding a bicycle are activities that you can enjoy everyday and get some fresh air while you are at it.

Number two: Make your approach realistic. By focusing and creating the proper mindset you will be able to lose those extra pounds quickly and easily. Creating your goals with determination will help you to avoid becoming discouraged.

Three: Pay attention to your body. Everyone's metabolism is different. Different types hit their "wall" at different times in the process. Some people have a great deal of initial success. Others, and I have seen, can go weeks or even months before losing their first pounds. Do your homework first, then work your plan. Pay attention and make changes where necessary.

Number four: Eat foods that are fiber rich. This accomplishes so much. Fiber rich food is more satisfying. It cuts down on cravings. It cleans our digestive system. Foods rich in fiber burn more evenly. As a result, our moods even out. Whole grains and vegetables are rich in fiber. Use them in your weight loss regimen.

Five: Avoid fried foods. Stay away from fast food chains. Don't drink soda or any beverage that has either sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Point number six: This is contrary to almost everything that you read or hear. Do not drink a lot of fluid. Do drink when you are thirsty. We are not designed to be a plumbing system that has to be flushed continually. Too much fluid puts a strain on our kidneys and inhibits them from eliminating waste.

The secret to any weight loss effort is to focus and take action. Do your research, make a commitment and put into action what you what to achieve.

Here in this article are a few fast weight loss tips which should help you get on the right path to losing weight successfully.

First up don't starve yourself. It may seem logical that if you eat as little as possible you will achieve fast weight loss but this isn't really the case, and nor is it safe.

It may result in initial quick weight loss but this will soon stop. The reason for this is that your body will sense it is being starved and so will slow your metabolism down to reserve more energy.

It will also inform your metabolism to burn muscle rather than fat which will increase your appetite to almost unbearable levels and thus causing an end to your diet. Once you go back to a regular eating routine you will find you gain weight quicker as your metabolism will still be working at a lower rate.

One piece of advice that is often ignored is to drink plenty of water. Water makes us feel more energetic and less sleepy but it also makes us feel fuller which is also a great benefit as it goes towards preventing you from snacking between meals.

Speeding up your metabolism is a great way of increasing the rate at which you lose weight. There is no need for pills though as there are several natural steps you can take to increase this.

They include eating more meals a day, keeping active, and making sure you eat breakfast ( this wakes your metabolism up for the day). You can find a few more tips on increasing your metabolism by reading Metabolism Boosters- Natural Ways To Boost Metabolism.

Many diets advise you to cut out certain food types such as protein or carbohydrates but this is something I would try to avoid. Every food group contains something which our body needs so by leaving out a certain food group our body will miss out on the benefits they provide.

A diet based around shifting calories not only has fast results but also doesn't require you to miss out on any food groups.

Thank you for reading these fast weight loss tips, now all you have to do is put them into practice.

People who want to lose weight usually look for diets that will tell them how to lose fat fast, usually the fastest diet plan that will ensure losing double digit number of pounds in less than a week. While some of those diets will get you the results you want, you'll find that they'll have undesirable long-term effects. Depriving yourself of entire food groups is guaranteed to help break down your body's general sense of well being.

That said, we do hear you about how slow these "healthy" diets are. But there are way to lose a lot of weight and stay healthy at the same time. The healthiest way to lose fat fast is to cut out the fat from your diet, substituting instead with lean protein and healthy carbohydrates. That's both visible fat, the kind you see attached to meat and other not-so-obvious fatty substances such as chicken skin, and invisible fat, such as milk, cream, and eggs.

So, what do you eat instead? Yes, it's very difficult not to eat crunchy fried chicken skin, or lick the cream that tops many delicious desserts, but it makes more sense than cutting out all the carbohydrates from your diet and denying yourself important fuel for daily energy. You'll still be able to get the body's requirement of fat from the food that you can eat, so it's definitely a healthy option.

The next step is knowing what food to eat, now that you know how to lose fat from your diet, or at least lessen it considerably. Again, protein and carbohydrates are the important food groups you must pay attention to. Protein will be beneficial in building muscle tone, so that you're not just thin, you're lean. Research has shown that people with protein in their diet have a significantly reduced appetite, hardly hogging down food at meal times.

To get the best results, a balanced diet of protein and carbohydrates is recommended. Mind you, stay away from high carbohydrates. Especially if you have little exercise, your daily physical exertions will just be burning minimal calories and the stored carbohydrates that you don't burn up will eventually transform into fat. But you do need carbs, especially if you're on an exercise program, and will need low carb foods, such as whole wheat grains, sugars from fruits and vegetables. Exercise is also an important consideration if you want to learn how to lose fat fast.

When you're beginning your diet, it's understandable that you may not get enough good carbs to fuel your exercise regimen, or you may be overdoing it. To ensure that you're getting the right amount of energy, supplements can enhance your diet. Please note that we said "enhance" and not "replace." Supplements can be eaten or drunk as a shake after exercising or as snacks. Ideally, you must have six small or medium meals with controlled portions each day, and supplements can only be taken at most as two of these six meals. The rest of your meals should consist of real, natural, well balanced food.

If you want to lose 100 pounds fast, you should consider making an adjustment to your diet. I'm not talking about just changing what you eat, but also change your eating habits. In some cases, the way you eat: the size of your meals, the time of day in which you eat certain food groups, the time between meals, and the number of meals you eat each day, can have a bigger effect on your weight than the amount of calories that you consume.

If you want to lose 100 lbs fast, a possible weight loss method for you to use is Calorie Shifting. What is this weight loss method and how does it work?

Here are the basic principles of Calorie Shifting

1. You eat 4 reasonable sized meals each day based on a specific and personal menu.

2. These 4 meals contain all food groups (carbs, protein, fat).

3. You need to eat the meals at least 2.5 hours apart so they're spaced out throughout the day.

The menu spreads the 4 meals throughout the day which causes a metabolic effect which maintains the rate in which your metabolism runs. This causes your body to born calories faster than it does with other diets.

It will take a few months to lose 100 pounds with the Calorie Shifting diet. I'm writing it because you need to understand that this is a gradual process. But with the Calorie Shifting diet, you will be able to lose those 100 lbs as fast as possible.

While the majority of people recognize that exercise is necessary to effective natural weight loss, many are uncertain as to what kind of exercise they should do to get the best results. Many exercise experts disagree on what kind of exercise is best. This disagreement seems to stem from a lack of complete information regarding exercise physiology coupled with the fact that different people actually have different needs when it comes to exercise.

Let's begin with what the current research on exercise physiology tells us. It is well-established that it takes approximately 30 minutes of any kind of exercise for the body to burn off its glycogen (stored sugar) reserves and begin burning fat. Because of this, many experts will recommend half an hour to an hour of exercise to produce a good amount of weight loss. Now, if you are going to be exercising for 30 to 60 minutes, or maybe more, what type of exercise would you be able to do for that length of time? It probably would have to be low to medium intensity. In other words, you're probably not going to be able to run full speed or do any other type of high-intensity exercise for 30 to 60 minutes without a rest, unless you happen to be an elite athlete, and even then you'd be struggling. So, by default, the common recommendation for exercise to lose weight has been 30 to 60 minutes of low to medium intensity aerobic exercise. Aerobic translates to "in the presence of oxygen", which in common language means that aerobic exercise is any type of activity that you can do without gasping for breath.

In recent years, some experts have changed their recommendations to using a more intense anaerobic ("without oxygen") exercise program for weight loss. This would include things like intense weight lifting, and something called "interval training". Interval training involves brief bursts of high intensity activity with periods of rest or low intensity activity in between. For example, you might run full out for 30 seconds or a minute and then walk for a minute or two until you catch your breath and then run again full out for 30 seconds to a minute, walk again, etc.. Because this kind of workout is much more strenuous, it is performed over a much shorter period of total exercise time - about 20 to 40 minutes (at least half of which is rest time), as compared to half an hour to an hour of non-stop exercise as is recommended with low to medium intensity aerobic workouts. But how do the two types of exercise stack up when it comes to fat burning?

The aerobic exercise promoters point to the research that was mentioned earlier that has shown that any exercise, no matter how intense requires at least 30 minutes to use up the body's stored glycogen (the body will normally burn glycogen before it will burn fat) before fat burning can begin. So, they say, short periods of even highly intense exercise won't burn much fat and is therefore not a good choice for promoting weight loss. But they are only seeing part of the story.

It is true that you must exercise for at least 30 minutes to begin to achieve fat burning - but that's at the time you are exercising. Brief bursts of intense anaerobic exercise does something that even quite a lot of low to medium intensity aerobic exercise does not. Intense anaerobic exercise stimulates the production of growth hormone, which is a strong stimulator of fat burning. The thing is, the release of growth hormone triggered by intense anaerobic exercise comes 24 to 48 hours AFTER the exercise, and then it produces considerably more fat burning than is possible with all but extremely long periods of low to medium intensity aerobic exercise.

Because of this effect, most people will lose weight much more easily by doing shorter periods of more intense exercise. 20 to 40 minutes of heavy weightlifting, interval training (which could be done on foot, on a bicycle, swimming, kickboxing, etc.) , wind sprints, soccer, basketball, or any other activity with quick bursts of high intensity with periods of rest or low intensity activity in between is typically much more effective in the long run for weight loss than even hours of aerobic activity.

Now, you'll notice that I said "most people". There is an exception to the rule. Anyone who is seriously emotionally or physically stressed in his or her daily life is prone to overstimulated adrenal glands. The adrenal glands do a lot of things in the body, but with regards to weight loss, they produce two hormones. Cortisol is one of the hormones, and it stimulates fat storage in the lower abdominal area. This is typically a saggy, pendulous fat held below the waistline. The other hormone the adrenals produce is adrenaline (also called epinephrine), which actually promotes fat burning. Since the adrenals produce cortisol which causes fat deposition and adrenaline which promotes fat burning, you might assume that these two hormones cancel each other out. Unfortunately, cortisol production can be carried out by a much longer time by the adrenal glands than can the production of adrenaline, so long-term, the effects of high cortisol production (deposition of fat in the lower belly), will overcome whatever fat burning might occur from the short-term adrenaline production.

The adrenals are influenced by physical stress as well as mental stress, so for someone who is under a lot of stress in general in his or her life, high-intensity exercise will only add to the total stress and will tend to make the adrenals produce a lot of cortisol, and therefore will tend to promote lower abdomen weight gain. That's right - the wrong kind of exercise in this situation can cause weight gain! This can result in the frustrating situation in which one exercises more and more and harder and harder to try to get rid of that lower abdomen stomach "pooch", but never can seem to get rid of it. Due to the fact that the intense exercise is causing even more cortisol to be produced, their efforts are counterproductive. Because of this effect, it is recommended that people under a lot of stress and/or who have most of their weight held in the lower abdomen stick to relatively low intensity aerobic exercise. This kind of activity is usually helpful for controlling stress and reducing the level of cortisol, thereby making it easier to get rid of the deposition of fat around the lower abdomen.

I hope that this article has given you a better concept of how to maximize your exercise routine for the best possible weight loss results.
