How To Lose Weight Fast

Every year before bikini season women want to know how to lose weight fast. I always try to think of safety and health first when it comes to the issue of weight loss. Naturally I think it goes without saying that vegans have a leg up on everyone else when trying to lose weight. It’s been shown in numerous studies that most people just lose weight without even trying when they go vegan. Of course replacing high fat animal products with fruits and vegetables only makes sense.

Ways to lose weight fast

There are many ways to lose weight fast but not many of them are safe. Every day I see ads for all of these pills and products out there and I just cringe. I’d say most of these people are already unhealthy, they are eating dangerous food and now you want them to add dangerous chemicals to the mix. That seems like a weight loss recipe for disaster. With some careful planning and keeping it vegan there is a way you can safely drop weight quickly though. For most people this can be done without exercise or without much anyway. But I must tell you that it’s still very important to move your body!

How to lose weight fast for women

It is actually harder for women to lose weight than men. The main reason is that men have more muscle mass than women. Muscle burns more fat and this gives men the edge. This is one reason I think all women should have weight lifting in their daily workout routines. You can increase your muscle mass and still look feminine. And the added muscle will help you keep your weight down naturally. Losing weight with exercise is definitely much easier for women. So don’t avoid it. Embrace it and your body will thank you for it!

How to lose weight fast for men

As mentioned above, it’s a little easier for men to lose weight than it is for women. Beyond that initial advantage though the process is mostly the same. Eating high carb low fat food is key. This will keep your energy up, your metabolism high and your weight down. If course men should also exercise and lift weights as well if they are serious about having the best body possible. But a lot of fast weight loss can be achieved without exercise in the short term. You can’t exercise to lose weight fast but you can see the benefits long term. In the short term your diet plays the largest role in weight loss or weight gain.

How to lose weight fast in a week

There are many reasons someone would want to lose weight in a week. It could be a trip to the beach, a first date, or even a wedding. I think it’s perfectly fine to have a short term weight loss goal if you do it safely. But the best plan is to think long term. Anytime someone asks me about losing weight quickly I always tell them they can but they should also be looking at the long term. If you can do this then next bikini season you won’t be looking for a short term fix to the weight loss problem.

I have put together a one week weight loss plan that I think is safe and effective. You can get it on the next page.

How To Lose Weight Fast

Before you even think about trying this or any weight loss plan you need to consult your doctor. I believe in that so strongly I am going to tell you right now: DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR DOCTORS APPROVAL. I am not your doctor. I don’t know anything about your health or requirement. My plan assumes everything with you is normal and you are healthy enough to attempt weight loss.

For the first two days you will be going on a low calorie fruit island. It has nearly the same effect as a water fast but it’s easier to do and much more delicious! I recommend watermelon but you could try grapefruit, peaches or strawberries. Whatever you pick you need to do it for 2 days.

Day One

Eat nothing but a low calorie fruit. My favorite is watermelon because it is delicious and high in water. So you will not be getting many calories but you will be getting plenty of water and nutrients.

Day Two

Another day of fruit island. Same fruit as day one. Nothing else except water.

Day Three

You will do fruit for breakfast and lunch and a huge salad for dinner. Below are the things you can put in your salad. And the only acceptable salad dressings. You will have to make these salad dressings so be prepared to do this in advance. NO STORE BOUGHT DRESSINGS. Only those listed below.

Salad ingredients

asparagus

broccoli

Brussels sprouts

cabbage

lettuce

beets

cauliflower

mushrooms

turnips

Zucchini

Spinach

kale

peppers

onions

radishes

celery

tomatoes

Dressings (you will have to make them)

Balsamic
Balsamic Vinaigrette
Citrus Herb
Citrus Vinaigrette
Ginger Orange
Mango Orange
Tomato Herb

Day Four

Same as day three.

Day Five

Fruit only for breakfast.

Small amount of fruit followed by salad for lunch

Small amount of fruit followed by salad for dinner

Day six

Same as day five.

Day Seven

Fruit Island. Only one fruit, all day. Nothing else but water. Just like day one and two.

Notes: You can eat unlimited fruit for breakfast on the days that aren’t fruit islands. And you can eat unlimited salad for dinner (or lunch and dinner depending on the day) but it must only contain ingredients from the list. And you can always drink water. DO NOT add salt to your fruit or salad. No salt. Ever.

After your 7 days you should have dropped some weight. The best eating plan to transition into after the 7 days is “raw til 4″ in my opinion. Either way, you should never do this diet for more than 7 days. You need to get back to eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis for health.
