A Fast, Simple, And Easy Way to lose 5 - 10 Pounds for Vacation

Here in the US things are really warming up quickly and it definitely feels like spring, with a hot summer right around the corner. College spring break is in full swing all over the country and summer vacation will be here very soon. So obviously people are looking for ways to burn fat, drop pounds, and tone up so they can look as good as possible in their bikinis and board shorts!

The other day a friendly college student left a comment requesting a simple and easy way to lose about 8 lbs before her spring break beach vacation down in Mexico, so I figured I'd try to help her out. While there are many ways to burn fat and lose weight quickly, some are much better than others. For instance, you could starve yourself of food/calories and lose some weight quickly but you'll feel like crap and won't end up getting the kind of results you probably want (real fat loss, better muscle tone, etc.) in the end.

When it comes to rapid weight loss, calorie cutting is a necessity but it’s also extremely important to continue providing your body (and especially muscles) with the protein, amino acids, healthy fats, and clean carbohydrates it needs. You want to create a calorie deficit through smart diet and increased activity in a way that leads to optimal metabolic function, lean muscle tissue protection/growth, and quick, safe weight loss.

Outlined below is one of the simplest and easiest way to lose between 5 and 10 pounds really fast anytime you want -- for spring break or any vacation/party/event at all! It’s based around healthy whey protein shakes, good carbs, high-intensity full-body exercise, and a few powerful support supplements.

Most people can lose 5 pounds within about a week and a half and 10 pounds within 2 - 3 weeks, depending on genetics, initial conditioning level, and how closely they stick to the plan. So here you have it: a super simple and relatively “easy” way to lose pounds very rapidly...

Diet: Healthy Whey Protein Shakes

High-quality whey protein has an almost “magical” ability to speed up fat loss while helping your body maintain and even increase it’s lean muscle mass. By cutting out most regular foods and making whey shakes (aka “smoothies”) the basis of your diet you can greatly simplify things and get rid of much of the calorie-counting and guess work -- not to mention risk -- involved in most typical crash diets.

Start drinking 3 - 5 healthy shakes per day (and, if you want, one or two salads containing only grilled chicken, veggies, and healthy olive oil-based dressing). In each shake/smoothie include a scoop or two of whey protein (our favorite is whey isolate), some fresh or frozen fruit (berries are by far the best choice), and a small amount of healthy oil/fat (organic virgin coconut oil, natural peanut butter, and flax seed oil are the best choices). If you’re doing lots of strength training or very intense cardio -- or you just really need some starchy carbs -- include some raw oatmeal or quinoa in one or two of your daily shakes.

Exercise: Intense, Full-Body Calisthenic Workouts

One of the most efficient ways to burn fat rapidly while also building/toning lean muscle at the same time is to do short (20 - 30 minute), high-intensity workouts based around bodyweight calisthenics like free squats, lunges, dips, push-ups, pull-ups, inverted rows, etc. These workouts can be done almost anywhere and do a fantastic job of jump-starting your metabolism while protecting vital lean muscle mass.

For the best, and fastest, results do a full-body strength workout every other day. Do some form of light cardio on the other days. Give yourself a full "off" day every 7 - 10 days. Definitely don't go overboard and try to do too much volume or intensity. The goal is to just stimulate your body's natural fat-burning mechanisms and "good" hormone production, leading to quick fat loss and a fitter, sexier-looking body in a matter of days or weeks.

Supplements: Support Vitamins, Fats, and Energy Boosters

This plan’s most important supplement -- high quality whey protein powder -- is already included in the diet. But there are a few other proven supplements that can really help to speed things up while also protecting your muscles, immune system, and overall health. A high-quality multi-vitamin is a good way to make sure your body’s getting the vitamins and other nutrients it needs for optimal metabolic function and high energy levels. A good omega 3 fat supplement is a good idea if you want the best and fastest possible results. Omega 3s are probably the most important and powerful of all the "healthy" fats and a high-quality fish oil or krill oil supplement makes boosting your intake easy.

Finally, this plan requires a good amount of energy. Besides making sure you’re getting at least 7 - 8 hours of sleep per night, taking a healthy energy-booster supplement is a good idea. Besides increasing your energy for workouts, a bit of caffeine taken about 30 minutes before exercise can help your body use more fat for energy and even increase your endurance and intensity levels.

Now Get Going!

So that’s pretty much it. No starvation or extreme dieting involved with this plan -- just healthy protein shakes, smart exercise, and a few extremely helpful “support” supplements to speed up the progress. Give this simple plan a try and you’ll easily lose 5 -10 pounds in the next few weeks... and you’ll look incredible on the beach or at the pool! :)

The Fastest SIMPLE Way to Lose Weight

Looking for a really simple way to lose weight fast? The tips below are 100% proven to help just about anyone burn fat, lose pounds, and tone up very quickly... all without complicated diets, extreme workout routines, or expensive weight loss supplements.

When used in combination these tips represent one of the best and simplest methods for safely shedding weight fast...

1. Eat a simple, unprocessed diet

For the next few weeks, eat only meats, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, and some fruit. Eat little or no starch (grains, potatoes, etc.). Eat absolutely NO refined sugars, refined flours, or other processed carbohydrates. Drink LOTS of water, up to a gallon per day if you can!

2. Fill yourself up.

Starving yourself of food, calories, and fat simply doesn't work. A much better option is to eat several meals and snacks throughout the day, focusing on eating LOTS of lean proteins, vegetables, and beans with some fresh fruit and healthy fats/oils. You won't be hungry because the protein, fiber, and "clean" carbs will fill you up incredibly well. You'll have lots of energy yet you'll still be able to lose weight rapidly.

3. Do simple workouts based around "big" exercises.

Do several workouts per week that focus on "big" compound strength training exercises like squats, pull-ups, push-ups, dips, deadlifts, burpees, etc. Use either bodyweight exercises, weights, or (the best option) a combination of the two. Keep your workouts to about 30 minutes in length, focusing on intensity and quality over exercise volume. Do a few minutes (10 or less) of higher-intensity cardio at the end of the workouts (or mixed in throughout) to really jack up your body's metabolism and fat-burning mechanisms.

4. Go play.

At least 2 or 3 times a week get outside and do one or more of the following for about an hour: ride a bike, swim, hike, run, row, or play a higher-intensity sport (like basketball, tennis, soccer, etc.). This will allow you to melt off more pounds without even realizing because, ideally, you should be having fun!

5. Take recovery supplements.

Every day take a high-quality multi-vitamin and drink at least 2 whey protein-based shakes. Also consider taking a good omega 3 supplement, especially if you don't eat a lot of oily fish. This will help your body recovery more quickly from tough workouts. It'll also ensure that you're getting all the essential nutrients you need to maximize fat loss and help minimize the loss of vital lean muscle tissue!

That's it. Eat a simple diet based around natural foods. Fill yourself up with protein and high-fiber carb foods. Do simple strength-based workouts based around compound exercises and small bouts of intense cardio. Get outdoors and play a couple times per week. And take a few relatively inexpensive supplements that help you recover faster, optimize your metabolism, and protect sexy lean muscle.

Give this simple plan a try and I promise you'll lose a lot of weight within the next 2-6 weeks. You'll also feel good and have more energy!

The Fastest Healthy Way to Lose Weight (In a Nutshell)

Looking for the fastest "healthy" way to burn fat and lose weight? If so, you're in luck! In this post I'm going to show you -- in a nutshell -- what is almost definitely the best way to get rid of body fat and lose pounds in the quickest amount of time possible. Using the simple and proven tips below you should be able to lose at least 5-10 pounds within the next couple weeks... and then continue (if you want/need to) losing fat in a healthy, safe, and efficient manner for as long as you want!

STEP 1: Get energized and motivated

You've got to get yourself physically and mentally energized in order to lose weight at the fastest rate possible. You've also got to get and stay ultra-motivated at all times! Start by creating a powerful goal statement and reviewing it daily. Look at photos of people with fit, lean bodies and/or photos of your soft, chubby body (trust me, this works wonders). Boost your energy naturally by getting plenty of sleep, drinking large amounts of water, avoiding highly processed foods as much as possible, and doing some form of exercise most days of the week.

STEP 2: Eat a "clean calorie" diet

For rapid fat loss results, you need to get all or at least most (90%+) of your calories from "clean calorie" sources: mainly lean proteins, healthy fats, and small amounts of unprocessed, low-GI carbohydrates (e.g. vegetables, beans, legumes, and some fruits). Avoid all simple sugars and highly refined carb sources (e.g. white breads, pastas, sodas, etc.). Most people get the quickest weight loss results by cutting out all starches as well -- including whole grains, rice, potatoes, etc. -- at least for the first few weeks. Without a super-clean eating plan you're not going to lose pounds in the fastest way possible... in fact you may not lose weight at all!

STEP 3: Do interval-based exercise

Interval-based exercise is the best for boosting your metabolism significantly and burning fat quickly while also preserving (or even increasing) that all-important lean muscle tissue. Do some form of interval-based exercise at least 4 times a week. For best/fastest results combine both full-body strength/resistance training (such as bodyweight circuit training) and variable-intensity cardio exercise (such as HIIT training). Keep your workouts short (under 40 minutes) and intense... quality is better than quantity! Also keep them at least mildly enjoyable and mix things up often, both for your own enjoyment and to keep your body from adapting (as will most certainly do eventually).

So there you go: the fastest "healthy" way to burn fat and lose weight. All it takes is focus, motivation, and all-out action combined with a clean diet and some efficient exercise. Simple? Yes. Easy? Maybe not. But the good news is that research shows that making big changes and taking "big" action actually works better than the typical slow-and-steady, "small, gradual changes" weight loss plans. So get yourself a good fitness/fat loss plan and getting going!

"Help Me Lose Weight Faster Please!"

The other day my 40-year-old female friend called me on the phone and said this: "Help me lose weight faster please!". She told me that she'd been trying to lose 15 pounds fast -- in less than 3 weeks -- by following a typical low-fat/low-calorie diet and jogging about half an hour on a treadmill 5 days a week. After nearly 2 weeks she had only lost 5 lbs. Plus she had low energy, felt bad overall, and was having trouble sleeping due to the caffeine-based "fat burner" she'd bought at her local GNC. Needless to say, she was frustrated with her poor weight loss results, which is why she called me.

First, I told her that it was unlikely that she'd lose the other 10 pounds in the week and a half she had left before her big event (a wedding). Even if she did lose that much weight, only a small percentage of it would be from actual fat loss... most would be lost "water weight" and reduced lean muscle tissue. The good news, I told her, was that with the right strategies she could definitely drop a few pounds of flab and tone up her body in a way that would make it look like she was 10-15 lbs lighter.

Here are the 3 tips I gave her to help her lose weight faster:

1. Do a 1 or 2-day raw juice fast

This is a great way to jumpstart any weight loss program. You simply consume nothing but fresh raw vegetable and fruit juices along with large amount of pure water and/or "lemon" water for 24 to 48 hours. It'll help to cleanse and "detox" your body, boost your energy, and even help you drop a pound or two quickly and easily. Also, during this time skip any fat-burner or energy-booster supplements you may be taking and focus on "re-charging" your body naturally.

2. Get on a better diet

The low-fat "starvation" diet my friend was on obviously wasn't working too well for her. That's often the case with these kinds of diets, mainly because the lack of fat and calories causes the body to slow down its natural fat-burning processes (i.e. its metabolism) while zapping energy at the same time. I told her to immediately switch to a clean low-carb diet based around lean proteins, plenty of healthy fats (e.g. olive oil, unrefined coconut oil, oily fish, and avocado), and small amounts of "good" carbs (mainly from vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, and small amounts of fruit). This type of diet, based around healthy low-carb meals, allows most people to lose weight even faster than typical "low fat" eating plans while supporting lean muscle preservation and higher energy levels.

3. Do less cardio, more full-body strength training

While steady-state cardio (like treadmill running) can help to burn calories and speed up fat loss, by itself it's not going to give you the fastest or "best" results. A much better option is to combine your normal cardio workouts with some higher-intensity full-body strength training exercise. I told my friend to do 2 or 3 2o-minute workouts each week, based around compound bodyweight movements like squats, lunges, push-ups, pull-ups, inverted rows. I also recommended that she do some "push press" variations with relatively light weights. This type of exercise will cause her body to burn lots of fat, even for hours after the workout is completed, while also protecting and toning that sexy lean muscle tissue. By doing a total body workout that works most of the muscles in the body she'll also cause her body to pump out some pretty powerful steroid-like hormones that can dramatically speed up the fat-loss/muscle-toning processes.

So that's pretty much it: next time you or someone you know want help to lose weight faster, show them the tips outlined above. They work very well and provide quick, healthy, safe weight loss results to just about anyone who tries them!

Gain Muscle and Lose Weight -- Quickly and at the Same Time!

When it comes to losing weight and building lean muscle, most people try to do one or the other... often trying to lose body fat before gaining lean muscle. It's actually possible, however, to do both at the same time. The proven tips below can help you gain muscle while burning fat quickly and simultaneously...

1. Go big or go home -- Don't try to take fitness "baby steps" like cutting a few calories from a few meals. Instead, go all out in terms of eating a very clean, high-protein diet and doing smart, efficient fat-burning/muscle-building exercise. This strategy is usually much more effective than the typical "slow" fitness model, both in the short and long term.

2. Use water and fiber -- Drink lots of water -- up to a gallon or so a day -- and also eat several high-fiber meals and snack per day. Besides speeding up your metabolism and boosting your energy, you'll help limit your appetite and control hunger/food cravings... making it much easier to lose weight while you gain muscle.

3. Eat a high-protein, good-carb diet -- Eat a healthy diet based around natural, unprocessed foods... mainly lean meats, eggs, fish, vegetables, raw fruit, nuts, seeds, legumes, and beans. Also be sure to get some healthy fats into your diet every day to support healthy metabolism and muscle-building hormone production.

4. Eat often -- Eat a small protein-rich meal or snack about every 2-3 hours during the day. This will speed up your metabolism while helping you add quality calories which should make it easier to increase lean muscle tissue. It will also keep hunger in check and help you make better food choices.

5. Do full-body workouts -- The ultimate key to quick muscle gain and fast fat loss is efficient exercise. The best, most-effective workouts are ones based around big, compound, multi-joint, "full body" exercises. Squats, dips, pullups, and burpees are a few great examples. Keep your workouts short and intense. You'll burn off fat while building and toning vital lean muscle tissue!

6. Take whey, fish oil, and multivitamins -- The best diet supplements for losing weight while building muscle mass are whey protein powder, omega 3 fats (fish oil), and a good multivitamin supplement. These are inexpensive supplements that support a fast metabolism and help your body recover from intense workouts, building new muscle while shedding extra fat.

So there you go: some of the best tips for gaining muscle mass while losing weight... quickly and at the same time. It might seem tough to do but the powerful tips listed above are proven to help you transform your body and improve your health in a very short amount of time. Good luck!

Looking for a simple, healthy method for losing weight fast? Then you're in the right place. Below I will outline one of the best ways to burn off extra fat, tone up all the muscles in your body, and lose weight quickly...

1. Natural, Unprocessed Diet

Eat a whole, natural, unprocessed diet based around lean meats, nuts, seeds, raw fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, and unrefined oils like virgin olive oil and coconut oil.

Lose Weight Fast -- The Best SAFE Method

Want to lose weight fast without sacrificing your metabolism or your good health? Below is an outline of one of the absolute best ways to lose weight quickly but also in a safe and relatively healthy way. Forget about starvation diets, crazy workout regimens, and dangerous diet pills. Just use the proven fat loss techniques below and you'll soon be on your way to a leaner, fitter, and sexier body!


The Basics

Losing weight fast (and in a safe way) really comes down to doing 3 things on a consistent basis:

1. Eating a healthy, clean-burning diet based around protein, good carbs, and healthy fats
2. Doing smart strength/resistance training that elicits powerful metabolic changes in your body
3. Performing efficient interval-based cardio exercise that burns fat while preserving lean muscle tissue
   

Get those things right, and it's almost impossible not to lose several pounds of stubborn body fat in a very short amount of time.


Keeping Your Body Confused

Keeping your body and its metabolism "confused" is a big key to achieving fast weight loss results. The human body adapts very quickly, which is a major reason why so many people seem to hit a wall or "plateau" within the first few weeks of being on a weight loss program. It's important to regularly change your diet and exercise routines in a way that keeps your metabolism off-balance and burning fat at a fast rate.


Clean-Burning Diet

For most people, diet is about 75% of the solution for losing body fat. The best diet for fast, healthy weight loss is one based around whole, natural, unprocessed foods. Think lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, raw fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, etc. Starches, especially grains and potatoes, should be kept to a minimum, at least at for the first couple of weeks. Grain products especially often keep people from losing weight as quickly as they would like. Simple sugars (and especially all processed/refined sugars) must be avoided completely.

Cutting down on sugars and starches helps to significantly lower your calorie intake, which is 100% necessary to lose weight. It also helps to get your blood sugar levels and insulin production under control, which helps incredibly when you're trying to lose body fat quickly. That being said, once every 7-10 days you should have a huge "cheat" meal -- or even a "cheat" day if you're doing lots of weight training -- where you are allowed to eat anything you want and as much as you want. This helps to confuse your metabolism and keep it from adapting/slowing down. It also gives you a break from dieting and a mental reward for sticking to your healthy fat loss plan.


Smart Strength Training

At least twice a week you should do a brief, intense full-body strength/resistance training workout using moderate weights and/or your own bodyweight. Focus on "big" movements that involve multiple muscle groups, such as: squats, lunges, pushups, dips, pullups, inverted rows, etc. Do a few sets for each major muscle group (i.e. legs, chest, back, arms). Keep the workout short and the intensity high. Full-body strength training not only burns lots of calories while building and toning lean muscle tissue, it also has a very powerful "afterburn" effect that causes your body to burn fat for up to 36 hours after you've finished your workout! It creates powerful metabolic/hormonal changes in the body, causing it to pump out steroid-like hormones (e.g. natural human growth hormone) that blowtorch body fat while protecting vital lean muscle.


Interval-Based Cardio

Probably the best form of exercise to lose weight fast is high-intensity interval-based cardio training... aka "HIIT". This is a proven fat burner that, like full-body strength training, creates powerful metabolic/hormonal changes in the body. The great thing about interval-based cardio is that you can get a very effective workout in as little as 10 minutes, so you're much less likely to get "burned out" like you would doing typical long/slow/boring cardio exercise (e.g. hours of steady-state jogging). Going for an occasional jog or long walk can certainly provide some health-boosting and fat-burning benefits, but long, slow cardio should not make up the foundation of your exercise program.


A Note About Supplements

Despite what many people think, you do not have to take diet supplements in order to lose weight fast. However, there are a few relatively low-cost supplements that can definitely help to speed up your results and, more importantly, protect your health during an intense fat loss program. The best supplements for fast, healthy weight loss include: whey protein powder, omega 3 fatty acids (e.g. fish oil), and a good multivitamin formula. You may also want to take a quality green tea extract supplement, which is a great natural energy booster and may help to increase fat burning during workouts.


There you go. Now you know one of the best ways to lose weight fast and in a safe, healthy manner. Of course there are many more things you can do to increase your chances of fat loss success -- and we'll cover them here soon -- but at least now you know the most-important "basics." Give them a try next time you want to get rid of that ugly belly fat fast or lose those 10 pounds before pool season. Good luck!

Lose Weight Fast: A Simple and Easy Way

Losing weight in a fast and healthy way doesn't have to be that difficult. In fact, most people make the process much harder than it really needs to be! If you want to lose weight fast I highly recommend following the suggestions outlined below. With these proven fat loss techniques you should be able to lose at least 10 or 20 pounds within the next month to a month and a half...

Eat a Paleo Diet

Almost without a doubt, the best diet for losing weight fast is one based around "paleo" foods, mainly: lean meats, fish and shellfish, eggs, raw fruits, raw or cooked vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Absolutely no refined sugars or highly-processed carbs (such as white bread). Very little starch (potatoes, rice, grains, etc.). This diet works because it provides the body with the foods it is designed to thrive on. If you get most of your calories from paleo foods you will lose weight fast, increase your energy levels, and improve your health!

Do Short, Intense Workouts

The best fat-burning exercise is "interval" exercise. This involves doing short bursts of high-intensity exercise followed by brief recovery periods. Interval-based exercise works so well because it burns lots of calories, stimulates fat burning, and causing the body to produce powerful metabolism-boosting/muscle-protecting hormones (natural steroids). Try to do some form of interval-based cardio or strength training every couple of days. Also spend at least an hour or two each week playing a sport that makes you sweat, such as tennis or basketball. This is the exercise solution you've been looking for!

Putting It All Together

The key to losing weight fast is to eat a clean-burnig diet (that reduces your calories intake) while also exercising on a regular basis (which increases your calorie usage). Add in proper rest and recovery and you have a synergistic combination that's been proven to work! Best of all, it's a relatively simple and easy "fool proof" solution that is guaranteed to help you lose weight fast while creating a fitter, better-looking body.

Lose Weight Fast -- What It REALLY Takes!

Interested in finding out what it really takes to lose weight fast? No matter what the "weight loss" marketers would have you believe, it has nothing to do with popping diet pills or following some crazy "crash" diet. It also doesn't have anything to do with buying some expensive fitness gadget or spending hours and hours doing painful/boring exercise.

Below you'll find the real keys to boosting your metabolism, burning body fat, losing pounds, and creating a fit, lean, and sexy body in the fastest way possible. After reading this article you should be able to lose at least 10 pounds within the next couple of weeks... and then continue losing weight for as long as you want!

Special Note: The Turbulence Training program gives you everything you need to lose weight in a fast, healthy, and safe way. We highly recommend it!

FOCUS

If you want to lose weight fast, you absolutely have to focus your thoughts and energy as much as possible. Focusing like a laser on a single, achievable, short-term goal is the fastest way to success in any area. Set a goal, write it down, and read it daily. Also spend some time each day visualizing success. Pretend that you've already lost the weight and are enjoying the great feelings that come from succeeding through hard work. Finally, surround yourself with images of people with fit, lean, great-looking bodies. These simple steps are proven to boost your focus and motivation through the roof!


ALL OUT ACTION + MOMENTUM

The key to losing weight quickly is to force yourself to take all out action on a daily basis. This will build the kind of unstoppable momentum that literally sweeps you along to fast weight loss success. I'm not talking about going overboard in terms of extreme dieting or exercise. I'm talking about creating a list of daily "mini goals" and doing your best to achieve each and every one of them. If you can reach all your diet and fitness-related mini-goals for 21 days in a row, they will become automatic habits. After that burning fat and losing weight in a healthy way becomes MUCH easier!


CLEAN-BURNING DIET

You have to eat a diet based around natural "clean burning" foods. That's all there is too it. These are the foods that the human body is designed to consume and thrive on. Avoid refined sugars, flours, and fats at all costs. Reduce (and learn to cycle) your intake of starches like grain foods (breads, cereals, pastas, rice, etc.) and potatoes. Cut your intake of milk and dairy products. Focus on eating unprocessed "paleo" foods like lean meats, eggs, fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and healthy oils (e.g. virgin olive oil and coconut oil). Also eat large amounts of beans and legumes, due to their high fiber content and hunger-killing properties. Eat several small, balanced meals throughout the day, instead of 2 or 3 big meals. Base all your meals and snacks around lean protein and high-fiber carbohydrates. Be sure to get some healthy fat every day.

No matter what, don't try to "starve" the weight off. It simply does not work, in the short run OR long run. Eat a healthy, balanced diet based around natural foods. Avoid most processed foods. Eat in a way that stabilizes blood sugar levels and keeps insulin production to a minimum. Diet is 75% of the solution for losing weight fast... and with these diet tips you should be well on your way to less body fat!


SMART EXERCISE

You must exercise at least a few times a week in order to lose fat quickly. In fact, for best results you should do at least 15-45 minutes of strenuous activity at least 6 days a week. Don't try to force yourself to do long, grueling, and boring workouts. Instead focus on short, higher-intensity exercise sessions. Two examples of the best "smart exercise" for burning fat fast are: high-intensity interval training and full-body strength training. HIIT cardio is a proven fat burner while full-body strength training is proven to burn calories, build lean muscle tissue, and boost the metabolism. Both forms of efficient exercise cause your body to produce powerful steroid-like hormones that melt fat and build muscle even while you're sleeping.


Well, that's about it. Now you know what it really takes to lose weight fast. Don't buy into the hype so many fitness and weight loss companies try to push. You don't need to spend a lot of money, pop pills, gulp down powders, purchase the latest infomercial exercise machine, drastically cut calories, or spend hours and hours doing marathon "cardio" workouts in the gym. You just need to use the proven fundamental fat loss techniques outlined above. Give them a try and you'll see why they work so well!

How to Lose Weight in a Week

Have you waited to the last minute to lose those few extra pounds? Need to drop a pant size to fit into that new outfit? Only have a week to get rid of some of that ugly belly fat before the big pool party?

If you closely follow the steps outlined below you can easily lose weight in a week... at least 5 to 10 pounds!

1. Get mad and set your mind.

Stand in front of a mirror and grab your flab with both hands. Get mad a at it. Allow it to create mental energy and motivation to lose weight quickly. Now create a simple goal statement. Something like: "I will lose 5 pounds in 7 days by eating clean and exercising efficiently". Read that goal daily and focus on it constantly for the entire week.

2. Do a 1-day lemon water fast.

For a 24 hour period don't eat or drink anything except pure spring water with lots of fresh lemon juice squeezed into it. This is a simple "detox" fast that will help you lose a pound or two while cleansing your body and boosting your energy.

3. Eat a "plant and protein" diet.

For the entire week eat only lean proteins, fish, and fibrous "good" carbs -- mainly vegetables and fruits. Also eat some nuts and seeds each day, preferably unsalted. Try to get 50% of your calories from raw foods, especially raw veggies, fruits, nuts, and seeds. Every other day eat a big serving of beans or legumes. Avoid ALL processed foods, including refined sugars, flours, and fats. Also avoid whole grains and dairy during this week.

4. Do short, intense workouts.

Do 4 short, intense, interval-based workouts during the week. Do about 10 minutes of "full body" strength training using bodyweight exercises (e.g. pushups, pullups, dips, squats, lunges, crunches, etc.) and 10 minutes of high-intensity interval training (aka HIIT cardio). This will burn lots of fat and cause your body to produce powerful steroid-like hormones that burn fat even while you're sleeping!

5. Take support supplements.

Every day take the following supplements: whey protein powder, omega 3 fats, and a good multivitamin. Forget about those "fat burners" you see sold everywhere. Most are just caffeine with some vitamins thrown in. If you need a pre-workout energy boost drink some black coffee, green tea, and/or a sugar-free energy drink.

That's it! Follow the steps above and you could lose a lot of weight in just a week. Good luck!

How to Lose Weight Fast: A Proven Method

Want to lose weight fast? The steps outlined below are a proven road map to fast fat loss and a fit, great-looking body...

1. Prep your brain -- Create a powerful goal statement and read it twice daily. Tape photos of fit, healthy people where you'll see them throughout the day. These are two powerful "brain programming" tactics that almost always work to build energy, motivation, and momentum.

2. Boost your energy -- Get at least 8 hours of sleep per night. Avoid drugs and alcohol. Avoid processed/refined foods, especially sugars, white flours, and trans fats. Sip water throughout the day. Drink caffeinated green tea and, if you don't mind the taste, yerba mate tea. Take a good multivitamin supplement every day. If you want, use a healthy energy boosting supplement before workouts.

3. Get the morning workout habit -- Do some light, refreshing exercise every day of the week, first thing upon waking. 10 minutes is all you need. This will dramatically boost your energy, burn lots of fat (especially when done on an empty stomach), clear your mind, and set you up for a great, productive day.

4. Build momentum with small victories -- Create a set of mini-goals or steps that you want to accomplish each day. Every day that you accomplish all your mini-goals is a "victory". See how many days you can go without breaking the chain of small victories. This is a proven momentum builder!

5. Do a 1-day juice fast and/or raw diet -- 1 day a week do a raw juice fast and/or a raw diet based around raw fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds. This will help to flush toxins out of your body, boost your energy, wake up your metabolism, and lose a couple of pounds easily.

6. Eat a paleo-style diet and rotate your carbs -- Base your diet around lean meats, fish, eggs, veggies, raw fruits, nuts, and seeds. Also include some beans/legumes and a small amount of dairy (mainly healthy yogurt/kefir). Rotate starchy carbs (grains, potatoes, rice, etc.) in and out of your diet in a way that keeps your metabolism guessing.

7 Do interval-style workouts -- At least 3 days a week do short, intense, interval-based workouts. Do both full-body strength training (using mainly bodyweight exercises) and high-intensity interval training cardio exercise (HIIT).

8. Take proven supplements -- Take whey protein powder, omega 3 fats, and a good multivitamin supplement. You'll feel better, have more energy, and recover faster from tough workouts with these inexpensive and proven supplements. If you wish, take a natural energy booster/fat-burner before workouts (but not everyday!).

9. Get expert advice -- Get the help of knowledgeable experts who know the real "secrets" of fast, healthy fat loss. This will ensure you won't make any of the dozens of common mistakes many people make when trying to lose weight fast!
