Super-Simple Fat Loss

Need to lose 5 or 10 pounds of body fat fast? Looking for a super-simple (and healthy) way to do it? Here you go...

1. Cover the "energy" basics: get 7-8 hours of sleep per night, avoid drugs and alcohol, take a good multivitamin daily, drink pure water and unsweetened teas throughout the day.

2. Eat a half raw/half paleo diet: start eating nothing but lean proteins, fish, eggs, vegetables and fruits, nuts and seeds, and small amounts of natural oils (virgin olive oil, unrefined coconut oil, etc.). Try to get about 50% of your calories from raw foods, mainly veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, and sprouts. Avoid all processed foods and refined grains, including breads, pastas, white rice, etc.

3. Do short, intense workouts often: do about 20-30 minutes of interval-based exercise 4-6 days a week. Do short bursts of intense exercise followed by periods of active recovery. Perform both full-body strength training and high-intensity interval training cardio (HIIT).

Now enjoy the leaner, fitter, healthier, sexier-looking body you've created! :-)

Interesting HIIT Fat Loss Video

3 Fast Fat Loss Tips That Are Guaranteed to Work

Very few fat loss tips are 100% guaranteed to work. These ones are...

1. Raise your resting metabolic rate. Your body is constantly burning calories for energy. There is one proven way to increase the rate at which it burns calories, even when it's at rest: increase your lean muscle tissue. Building and maintaing muscle is vitally important to losing body fat and keeping it off through a fast natural metabolism.

2. Eat more frequently. Digesting food requires a very large amount of energy. So, obviously, the more often your body has to digest the more calories it will use for energy. Increase your meal frequency and you'll burn more calories. Try to eat at least 5-7 small, healthy, protein-rich meals and snacks a day... spaced about 2-3 hours apart. This will also make it much easier to control hunger!

3. Eat more protein. The thermic effect (the amount of energy needed to digest it) of protein is about twice that of carbs and fat. Your body uses much more calories to process protein than other macronutrients. Therefore, you should aim to increase your protein intake. Extra protein calories are much more unlikely to end up as stored body fat. Plus, protein kills hunger and stabilized blood sugar and insulin levels... all important keys to losing body fat quickly!

How to Lose 30 Pounds Fast

Want to lose 30 lbs in a short amount of time? Maybe you have an important even coming up such as a wedding, reunion, party, or "beach" day. Maybe you just want to shed the extra fat and look and feel better. Whatever the case, when you find yourself wanting to lose 30 pounds but you don't have a lot of time to spare, use the tips below. They could easily help you lose 30 pounds within just a few weeks... and the work 100% better than any of the crash diets out there!

Do a Juice or Lemon Water Fast

Doing a short 1, 2, or 3-day fast is a healthy and relatively easy way to "detox" your body, boost your energy, and lose several pounds quickly. For a juice fast, you'll need a juicer and a wide variety of organic fruits and vegetables. A simpler alternative is a "lemon water" fast where you drink only pure spring water with fresh lemon juice squeezed into it for a day or two. You can also use fresh lime juice if you prefer the taste.


HIIT the Cardio

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is an incredibly effective form of fat-burning cardio exercise. It involves doing short bursts of high-intensity exercise interspersed with periods of active recovery. HIIT is a proven technique that even fitness models use to shed fat before competitions. If you want to lose 30 pounds quickly you should try to do at least 3-5 short (15-30 minutes) HIIT workouts a week.

To change things up, stave off boredom, and keep your body from adapting, you should also go do a fun sport or activity at least once a week. Basketball, soccer, tennis, hiking, bike riding, and martial arts are all good options.


Eat a Good Carb-Only Diet

During this time, avoid all processed carbohydrates. That especially includes anything made with refined sugars or flours. While you're at it, avoid all white potatoes and white rice. All your carbohydrates should come from vegetables, fruits, beans, and legumes. Be sure to eat plenty of protein and good fats, such as olive oil, avocado, nuts, and seeds.

Losing 30 pounds fast isn't the easiest thing to do but, if you focus your efforts, you can make some big changes in the way your body looks within just a few weeks.

Lose Fat Fast by Running Up Hills

Looking for the fastest way to lose body fat? Want to know which form of cardio is the best for quick weight loss?

The answer to both questions may very well be hill running.

Running up inclines greatly increases the amount of muscular effort and energy your body uses, compared to running on typical flat surfaces. Basically, running up hills is a very intense form of whole-body cardiovascular exercise that will wear you out and "kick your butt" in a very short amount of time.

Hill running is the ultimate in short, intense, fat-burning exercise!

So go find a hill near your home... preferably one that's not too steep since you don't want to make it too difficult when you first start off. Then spend about 4 or 5 minutes warming up, either jogging in place, jumping rope, or walking up and down the hill at a brisk pace.

After you're thoroughly warmed up, perform intervals by running -- or, if you can, sprinting -- up the hill and then jogging or briskly walking back down again. Do this at least 5-7 times. Each week try to add at least one interval to the workout.

Of course, if you don't have access to hills -- or you just want to be "boring" -- you can always jump on a treadmill and set a 5% incline to simulate hill running.
