Are you overweight? Fast weight loss is probably something
you have thought about a million times. Here I will share a few secrets to fast
weight loss that will help you get on the right track to losing weight easily!
It really isn't that difficult.
First of all, if you are serious about fast weight loss, you
must change your eating habits just a bit. One secret I have used that has
proven successful is taking Omega 3 fish oil, and drinking 2 glasses of green
tea every day. This enables me to eat a little more than you normally would on
a diet, and still lose weight.
Another little secret to fast weight loss - eat dairy and
ice cream all you want, just switch to low-fat varieties! Yarnell's Guilt-Free
ice cream tastes exactly like the real thing to me, and I eat tons of it. The
only foods I would say to eat as little as possible of when trying to lose
weight is fried foods. Have a little occasionally, but try to stay away for the
most part.
Ready to get rid of that extra fat fast without losing
muscle mass? There's only one way: A carefully calibrated eating plan and an
equally carefully calibrated exercise plan. Why so complicated? If you eat the
wrong things or the wrong amounts of even the right things, and if you do the
wrong type of exercise, you won't get the results you want. Your body is
designed to hold on to fat, and so you have to control a variety of factors
very carefully to force it to let go, and especially if you want it to let go
quickly.
So what kind of exercise will it take? Studies have clearly
shown that the most effective exercise for fast fat loss is resistance
exercise. Not only do people who do resistance exercises lose more weight
overall, they also lose more fat and, if they combine the exercises with the
right eating plan, they will also add rather than lose lean muscle mass. People
who primarily exercise aerobically on the other hand lose less weight overall
and do not gain lean muscle mass.
The authors of Warp Speed Fat Loss, Mike Roussell and Alvyn
Cosgrove, have developed a carefully designed program of resistance exercises
that helps maximize fast weight loss while actually increasing lean muscle
mass. A key part of their program are special metabolic circuits that maximize
the production of fat burning hormones while at the same time facilitating the
release of fat so that it is available to be burned.
Must read Weight Loss Principles.
* Excessive Weight is a lifestyle issue and unfortunately
there is no quick fix.
* Goal for a healthy weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week.
Beginners can aim for up to 2 lbs of weight loss in initial weeks but after 6-8
weeks, make a goal to lose at least 1 lb of weight every week. Do NOT try to
lose more weight by severe caloric restriction as this weakens the immune
system. A Healthy weight loss plan is supposed to boost your Immune system and
not suppress it.
* Small changes in Dietary Habits and proper exercise is the
best way to lose fat and keep it off permanently.
What's so complicated about burning fat. Actually, fat loss
requires a sequence of three different processes. First, the fat has to be
mobilized. That means, the lipids that are stored inside cells have to be
released from those cells. Second, the fat has to be
transported to where it can be burned. Third, the fat needs
to be burned. Otherwise, it will merely be re-deposited either where it was in
the first place or in alternative sites, and all the effort would have been for
nothing. In order to ensure that all three steps
take place properly, which is the only way to achieve fast
weight loss, or even any weight loss at all, you need to engage in the right
kind of exercise at high enough intensity.
Russell and Cosgrove's students achieve their spectacular
results by rotating through specific exercises at high intensity, thereby
mobilizing and burning a maximum amount of fat. But not only that. The
increased fat burning actually continues for many hours, even days. Here's how
it works: Fat cells are broken down by hormone sensitive lipase, also known as
HSL. That's the exact stuff that's suppressed by insulin, which is why proper
diet is so important. Another player involved in fat breakdown is
catecholamine, whose levels are really ramped up by high intensity exercise.
Then, of course, the fat needs to get burned by the muscles,
where carnitine levels are important for efficient fat burning. Carnitine
levels are drastically lowered when glycogen levels are up, and that's another
reason why carbs are bad news. In addition to a careful low-carb diet, special
circuit exercises lead to rapid depletion of glycogen, which allows fat burning
to take place. Roussell and Cosgrove call it a perfect combination punch. And
the best thing of all: this particular combination also leads to in an extended
period of fat-burning for many hours after the workout is long over. The
result: really fast weight loss.
