Quick Weight Loss

If you are looking to lose weight for an upcoming event then you want quick weight loss. You need to lose weight fast. There are many options out there for you. We will look at the most popular.

Let’s get one popular misconception out of the way right now. Starving yourself for more than a day will do more harm than good. There are many reasons for this. When the body does not get enough to eat, a survival instinct as old as woman herself kicks in. The body goes into starvation mode. Starvation mode means conserving as much energy while actually consuming muscle as the primary source of energy. As far as dieting goes, this is a total disaster. The threat is twofold. First, once your metabolism starts to stall, the calorie consumption goes down and fat burning slows to a crawl. Your body has no way of knowing when the food will come again so it reduces energy consumption. The energy that you do consume comes from your muscles! That’s right, the body holds onto fat for dear life and burns off your muscle. Included in this list is heart muscle. Yes, starving yourself can have grave consequences, so don’t do it. One more thought before we lay this to rest. You can jumpstart a diet by fasting for one day. One day will not be enough time for your body to enter starvation mode. You’ll give your quick weight loss diet a nice push. Please don’t drink sugary drinks or smoothies while doing this because you will defeat the purpose of the fast. Remember, sugar is metabolized into fat.

Now that we got that out of the way, on to the main attraction. One of the best ways of achieving a quick weight loss is the avoidance of carbohydrates. The biggest sinner as far as this is concerned is sugar. People with a sweet tooth, please stand up. Yep, I thought so. In order to lose weight in the short term, you need to cut carbohydrates out of your diet. In practical terms this means you must consume proteins and fats. The fats will satisfy your cravings and make you feel full. The proteins will provide energy and also prompt your body to make up for the lost carbohydrates by metabolizing your fat stores! Yahoo! That’s the way to do it.

At this point you may be wondering how to put this information to use. Everything you need to know is in two books: Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution book and the companion book, Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Cookbook. To get a quick weight loss from these books, you need to follow what they call the induction phase of the diet. This will shed some of that excess weight fast. Good luck!
