Lose Weight Quickly Without Diet Pills or Potions.

By Ryan M Hall

In our instant gratification culture, it's so easy to fall to the false promises of ab gadgets, pudge pills and magic potion drinks on TV that promise to help us lose weight quickly. We all want it now, and while sometimes we actually can lose weight quickly with these methods, more often than not, these false promises fall short of helping us lose any amount of weight at all. So what can we do?

There are really 3 easy steps to follow when you want to lose weight. You have to follow a proven diet plan, you should build muscle with weight training, and you absolutely must get plenty of rest. If you want to run on a treadmill for hours, you can and it will probably help, but you don't need to do that to lose weight. Whether you want to lose 2 lbs a week or 10 lbs a week, you can do it, it just depends on how much you have to lose and how closely you follow your plan.

Having a healthy but specific diet plan is the core of losing weight. There is a reason that when anyone wants to drop weight, they start to look for diet plans. It's obvious, if you want to change your body, you need to change the way you eat. But losing weight quickly requires more than just cutting some calories. If you want to lose weight, you need to create a meal plan that is specific and includes protein and healthy carbohydrates. Preferably with plenty of vegetables. Vegetables will fill you up quickly and aren't high in calories. If you want to burn fat fast, you need to eat lots of vegetables.

Go workout if you want to lose weight fast. More common sense advice, I know, but this time with a little twist, you don't need to run 8 miles a day to lose weight fast, though that might do it, you need to build more muscle. The way you build more muscle quickly is with a good resistance exercise plan. Lifting weights packs muscle onto your body and forces it to burn calories for up to 72 hours after the workout, so you can burn fat even while your not working out, which leads to our next weight loss tip, rest.

Can taking a nap really make you lose weight? Maybe, but when I say rest here, I mean rest from workouts. I'm not saying you can't take a nap it can help when you're working out. After all, your body needs plenty of sleep to build new muscle. The problem is that too many of us decide we're going to lose weight and hit the gym every day running and lifting weights until we're too exhausted to even function. Then we rest for a week or two with good intentions to start again, and never do. Resting for a few days in between workouts will help avoid this burnout that most of us experience.

It's not that complicated to lose weight quickly, but it does take commitment and the ability to follow these 3 steps. Follow a good diet plan, build muscle and give your body plenty of time to rest. This will put you light years ahead of the rest of the world that is just cutting calories and occasionally running on a treadmill. Follow these steps and you will succeed. - 17269
