How to Lose Weight Fast
June 9, 2009 by Jessica Harmon
So many people want to lose weight fast, that it can be very easy to believe the latest new fad diet that the famous actor or actress is on. You can feel so desperate that you’re willing to try anything. You need to lose weight fast because you have that holiday on beach coming up and you really don’t like the way you look in the mirror. Or maybe you’ve got a wedding or special occasion coming up and need to look good in the photos?
Do any of these statements apply to you?
If they do then you are certainly not alone. So many people are just desperate to lose weight fast, they frantically search for the latest diet, try it but it doesn’t work. So frustrating!
Here are some of the most common mistakes people make when trying to lose weight and how you can avoid them:
Mistake #1 – Fad Diets
The advertising for fad diets makes them look so appealing. They look easy to do, have lots of people saying they work and almost guarantee you will lose lots of weight. But these diets work by slowing down your metabolism because your calories are reduced. So when you get back to eating normally, you’ll just put back on any weight you have lost.
Solution – Use a diet such as
Strip That Fat which allows you to lose up to 14lbs in 14 days AND keep it off permanently.
Mistake #2 – Avoiding Breakfast
Thousands of desperate overweight people make this mistake everyday. They think if they skip breakfast it means they are eating less and they will lose weight.
WRONG!
Extensive research has shown that actually having breakfast can increase weight loss even more than missing out on it. This is because when you skip breakfast your metabolism slows down and you feel really sluggish. It also makes you very hungry all morning, so when it comes to lunch time you will eat far more than you should because your body is telling you to.
Solution – Eat a healthy low fat breakfast.
Mistake #3 – Starving Yourself
Many people even go to the extreme of starving themselves, believing that if they don’t eat a lot they will lose weight and everything will be good for them. Again this is massively incorrect. By starving yourself you are only forcing your body to break down fats and muscle to use for energy. Burning the fat is OK to a certain extent but when you start breaking down muscle mass it can be very harmful.
Solution – Eat 5-6 small meals everyday and don’t skip meals or starve yourself. You will only make yourself ill.
So there you have it, those are our tips to help you lose weight fast but safely.
