The Quickest Weight Loss System

Stop eating!

Yeah that's the quickest weight loss system on the planet.
Stop eating and your weight will just magically disappear
and before you know it you will be a starving, slender
shadow of your former self.

Really?

Nope, that is a HUGE lie of epic proportions. It's not
true. It's blatantly dishonest, and it's plain old wrong.

The quickest weight loss system has nothing to do with
stopping eating. The quickest weight loss system is
nothing but a myth. I'm sorry to say that losing weight
requires work and effort and that quick weight loss will
damage your physical body.

When you stop eating and dramatically reduce your calorie
intake, your body reacts in a way it has been programmed to
through evolution. As soon as your calorie intake is
significantly reduced, your body thinks a famine is coming.
This means it starts to store fat and put weight on to
ensure you survive the famine.

And storing fat and gaining weight is not what your weight
loss program is about, is it?

This is why a lot of people struggle when they start a
weight loss program. They cut down their food intake and
their body piles on the pounds to survive the famine.

Instead what you need to do is cut down your calorie intake
whilst increasing your exercise levels. This will ensure
your body burns the fat stored within your body and that
you can actually lose weight and keep it off.

It is when you diet and exercise that you really get
results from your weight loss program. If you only diet,
or if you only exercise, then you will find that your
weight loss is not as quick as you may want it to be.

When you begin your weight loss program, it is important
that you decide upon an exercise plan that suits you. Not
everyone enjoys the gym nor wants to go every day. What
forms of exercise do you enjoy and want to do?

Remember, exercise includes walking, climbing the stairs,
cleaning the house, going shopping. Anything that keeps
you active is classed as exercise. The more ways you can
include exercise into your daily routine, the more weight
loss you will experience. One of my favorites is taking
the stairs instead of the elevator when I am out. This
ensures I get some nice free exercise and burn some extra
calories.

If you want to experience quick weight loss, then you need
to combine a sensible and smart eating program with a
workable exercise plan. The two together will ensure you
have quick weight loss.

How To Shed a Pound a Week

In order to shed a pound a week you need to burn an
additional 3500 calories. It really is that that simple! No
fancy pills or powders or the latest fad diet are
necessary, just a progression of calories exerted without
an increase in calories consumed.  Sounds easy, right?  The
simple law of thermodynamics.

Try the following three steps to Shed A Pound A Week:

1. Record your normal weekly exercise - look at everything
from walking to participating in sports to exercising in
the gym. This is your starting point. Remember, you need to
burn an additional 3500 calories on top of your normal
weekly exercise.

2. Record your normal weekly food intake - this may be hard
to do honestly, but remember that you are only cheating
yourself by not recording everything. Calculate the total
number of calories that you eat in an average day.

In your quest for dropping inches you shouldn't exceed your
normal daily caloric intake - you should, rather, work at
slowly decreasing that number. Remember, we are going for a
3500 calorie deficit each week - this can be done by a
combination of increased calorie exertion (exercise) as
well as a decrease in calories consumed (eating less).

3. Chart the difference - now that you know your starting
point for both calorie exertion and calorie intake it is
time to turn the tables in your favor. Take every
opportunity to exert more calories by increasing your
physical activity, and to decrease your calorie consumption
by eating fewer calories and by making healthier selections.

Record your progress in a notebook and refer back to it
often. You will be surprised how encouraging it is to see
the positive changes that you are taking in your life
written down on paper.  Keeping a food journal will also
help you establish your eating behavior patterns.

If you are able to burn up 500 calories a day you will drop
a pound in a week!!
