The quickest way to lose weight may not always be the most obvious way in the fray. Sure you can lose weight in a number of ways. You could go on one of those fad diets that you keep hearing about celebrities using to drop weight. The ones where you get to eat no fats and only nibble on salads all day long. Or one where you eliminate all carbohydrates from your food and just eat some proteins. Or you could even go on a "no cooking" diet where you have to eat all the vegetables and fruits fresh and raw.
If all these seasonal diets are going to help you at all, they will not do it in this lifetime. They are just going to help you lose some weight for the time that you are on the diet and you will gain all that weight and more back on as soon as you eat regular food again.
The quickest way to lose weight may not be the healthiest way to lose weight. The quickest way to lose weight may cause your body to act like a "Yo-Yo" with it putting on and dropping pounds as a matter of routine. This is not, as you can imagine, exactly the healthiest thing for your body. Sure you will drop pounds fast, but it will not be because you are burning fat. It will be because you are losing water from the body. And it will cause you to lose muscle tone as well. I for one do not believe that you should opt to lose weight in this haphazard manner.
It is far better to go about your weight loss in a more organized manner. Don't expect to work miracles instantly. It took some time for you to get to your current weight and it will take you some time to come down to your ideal weight. Don't get distracted by gadgets and products that offer to give you instant weight loss. You will be handing away your money to anyone who has a decent sales pitch. There are enough people out there who will have no qualms doing just that, so do your home work before you make a purchase. Remember that to lose weight you need to have a plan.
Here is a three week plan that works. Try it out for yourself and see if it makes any difference to you. In the first week monitor what your calorie intake and calorie burning is. Write it all down. In the second week decrease your calorie intake and increase your calorie burning causing a difference of 500 calories per day. In the third week make adjustments to your schedule so that you can burn extra calories and lose more weight faster.
