Lose 15 Pounds in 2 Weeks

Want to lose 15 pounds in 2 weeks? It's possible if you go "all out" in terms of both clean eating and frequent bouts of effective exercise. The steps to lose 15 lbs in just 14 or 15 days are listed below:

1. Focus like a laser beam.

Write out your goal statement ("I will lose 15 pounds in 2 weeks by eating a very clean diet and doing high-intensity exercise."). Read it often. Focus all your mental energy on that goal... then your physical energy and actions will be focused as well and you'll lose the pounds faster than you ever thought possible!


2. Do a 1 or 2 day juice fast.

For one or two days do a raw juice or lemon water fast where you consume nothing but fresh raw vegetable and fruit juice and/or pure spring water with lots of fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice added to it. This will detox and cleanse your body, boost your energy, wake up your metabolism, and help you lose a pound or two easily.

Repeat once every week or two.


3. Eat a paleo-style diet.

Healthy diet is ultra important for losing pounds fast. Eat only natural foods that contain no man-made ingredients. Avoid refined sugars, grains (anything with flour), and "white" starchy carbs like white potatoes and white rice. Eat only lean meats, fish, eggs, vegetables, raw fruits, nuts, and seeds. After you lose the fifteen pounds you can start to rotate/cycle starches back into your diet in a way that keeps your metabolism boosted.


4. Do metabolic burst workouts.

Exercise 6 days a week, preferably first thing in the morning. 3-5 times a week do a metabolic burst workout involving full-body strength training and/or HIIT cardio exercise. These types of workouts not only burn fat they also create powerful metabolic and hormonal changes in the body that will help you shed the pounds very, very quickly!


5. Take proven supplements.

They best "support" supplements for losing pounds fast are whey protein powder, omega 3 fats, and a quality multivitamin. They will cover your nutrional bases and help you to recover from tough workouts fast. They also support a healthy metabolism, lean muscle growth, and may even help to decrease hunger/food cravings!

Personally I prefer simple sprinting or full-body bodyweight calisthenic exercises (such as burpees) but this could work just as well I think!

3 Steps to Losing Fat and Looking Great Fast

Want to lose lots of body fat, look great, and feel 100 times better? Then follow these 3 proven steps:

1. Focus your thoughts and actions.

Nothing is more important than setting an achievable goal and then focusing all your thoughts and actions on achieving that goal. Laser-like focus is by far the fastest path to making big improvements, especially when it comes to losing weight and getting fit.

Write down your goal statement/plan and read it twice daily. Something like: "I will lose 10 pounds of body fat in just 4 weeks by eating a healthy diet, cycling my carbs, doing short, intense workouts, and taking the right supplements." This works very well... so just do it!


2. Eat good calories and learn to cycle your starchy carbs.

95% of the calories you consume in a week should be "good" calories -- ones that will fuel your body, stimulate your metabolism, and help you shed excess weight. They will come mainly from lean proteins, good carbs, and healthy fats. Eat one "cheat" meal a week consisting of whatever you want in order to confuse your metabolism and keep it from adapting.

Also, learn to cycle starchy carbs in and out of your diet. This will also keep your metabolism off-balance and burning fat. Starches include grain products, potatoes, rice, and several other common high-calorie foods.


3. Do intense interval-based full-body workouts.

3-4 times a week do a short, intense workout that incorporates intervals of high intensity activity followed by periods of active recovery. They can incorporate both strength training (bodyweight training is the best option) as well as cardio (HIIT-style cardio is an ultra-effective fat burner).


That's it! The 3 steps you need to lose lots of body fat, tone your muscles, and look great fast!








Workout Anywhere With Bodyweight Exercise

Make the world your gym! No matter what any marketer tries to tell you, you really don't need any type of home gym, fitness gadget, or even a gym membership in order to lose fat, build muscle, develop functional strength, and create a great-looking body fast. You just need your own bodyweight and some creativity!

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!

Want to start off the new year by losing some weight quickly? How about 10 pounds of fat in less than a month? Below you'll find some proven steps for losing 10 lbs within 3 to 3 1/2 weeks...

Mental prep + small victories = momentum.

Create a powerful goal statement and read it daily. Set up small goals up for each day and week and write them down in a journal/log. Go for a "win" each day by trying to accomplish each goal on your list. These two things together will quickly build the unstoppable momentum you need to create fast fat loss success!


1-day "detox" diet.

For one day drink only unsweetened teas and spring water with lots of fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice in it. Optionally you can also eat a simple raw diet based around fresh, raw, and organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. This will detox and re-energize your body while helping to "reset" your metabolism and possible even allowing you to lose a pound or two easily.


Brisk morning exercise.

Get into the habit of doing some brisk exercise first thing each morning, as soon as you get out of bed. 10-20 minutes of light and refreshing exercise is all you need. This will boost your energy naturally, get your metabolism going, and help to set you up mentally for a healthy day.


Paleo-style diet + carb rotation.

Eat a "paleo-style" diet based around lean meats, veggies, nuts, and seeds. Also include some fresh fruit and beans/legumes for tasty hunger-killing fiber. Finally, learn to rotate/cycle starchy carbs (grains, potatoes, rice, etc.) in and out of your diet to keep your metabolism off-balance and burning fat.


Short, intense, interval-based full-body workouts.

Do short (15-30 minutes), intense workouts based around intervals (short bursts of higher-intensity exercise followed by brief periods of active recovery). Do these about 3 times a week to burn tons of fat and create powerful metabolic changes in your body which will strip off the fat and build vital muscle tissue even while you're sleeping!


Take the Big 3 supplements.

Whey protein, omega 3 fats, and a good multivitamin. That's all you really need to lose 10 pounds in a fast and healthy way. These proven and low-cost supplements will cover all your nutritional bases and also make it easier to recover quickly after tough workouts.
