Most people can lose up to twenty pounds within as little as 3 to 6 weeks! The key is to keep it simple. You don’t have to starve yourself or exercise every day of the week on an empty stomach. You also don’t have to follow a complicated diet plan or take lots of expensive supplements. And forget about those dangerous diet pills.

Losing weight quickly comes down to doing 3 things on a consistent basis:

1. Proper Exercise — Mainly higher intensity strength training and “smart” cardio exercise

2. Healthy Eating — The best diet for rapid weight loss is one that’s based around natural, unprocessed foods.

3. Effective Supplements — By taking a few simple, proven effective, and relatively low cost diet supplements you can significantly speed up your fat burning and lean muscle building progress.


It All Begins in the Mind

If you want to lose 15 to 20 pounds in a matter of weeks the first and most important step is to get yourself mentally prepared. That means getting motivated, settings specific daily and weekly goals, and staying focused on reaching your goals until you’ve lost the weight and created the fitter body you want.
Focus on Strength and Muscle


Focus on Strength and Muscle

If you base your workouts around strength training and muscle building exercises you’ll see faster and better results. Intense and/or heavy weight lifting burns calories very fast while building the kind of lean muscle mass that burns calories and fat even while you’re asleep. You’re body will also look MUCH better if you tone and tighten all your muscles instead of just focusing on shedding fat. Basically, you’ll avoid the “flabby skinny” look so many inexperienced dieters get. It’s important to do both cardio and weight training but, for the best and fastest possible results, put more of the focus on muscle building.


Healthy Diet Is Everything

Proper eating is about 80% of the solution when it comes to dropping lbs quickly. In fact, if you do nothing but eat a strictly clean diet you absolutely will lose body fat and slim down fast. You’ll also have more energy and feel a lot better than you probably do now. On the other hand, if you slack off on your dieting and just do more exercise there’s a very good chance you’ll experience little or no real weight loss progress.


Watch the Starches

A big “secret” for rapid weight loss is to cut down on the amount of starchy foods you eat. Breads, pastas, cereals, and other grain foods have lots of calorie-rich carbs and fructose (natural sugar) that can slow or reverse fat loss results. Potatoes are slightly better for your but can still keep your from losing pounds in the fastest possible way. In general it’s best to cut out or at least cut down on the starches while trying to shed weight quickly. In another article we’ll show you a trick that allows you to eat bread, rice, and even simple sugar whenever you want.


You Gotta Eat to Lose Those Pounds

One of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to drop lbs fast is to skip meals or drastically cut their calorie intake. Starving yourself might lead to a little bit of quick weight loss but most of it will be due to “water weight” shedding. In other words, it’s not real weight loss (i.e. fat loss). A very effective eating technique is to eat a small protein-rich meal or snack every 3 hours during the day. You won’t be hungry all the time and you’ll limit the amount of food cravings you experience. You’ll also keep your energy levels more stable and even speed up your metabolism a little bit!


Cardio = Faster Weight Loss

One of the fastest ways to burn fat and lose pounds is to do some form of cardiovascular exercise several times each week. The good news is that, as long as you’re also doing plenty of strength training, you don’t have to do a lot of cardio to get results. All you really have to do is about 90 minutes of cardio per week, either by itself or in combination with your weight lifting workouts.

Do both moderate and high-intensity, interval-based cardio (such as HIIT) and make sure you do your best to keep it fun or at least a little enjoyable. You don’t need to spend hours and hours doing boring cardio like treadmill running. A much better option is to find a fun sport (like tennis) or higher-intensity activity (like hiking) to do. If you keep it enjoyable it will be MUCH easier to lose the lbs fast!
