How to Lose Weight Safely AND Fast

I believe that knowing How To Lose Weight Safely AND Fast is a huge part of weight loss.
Nobody wants to lose weight and have that sickly kind of skinny fragile look that we too often see in Hollywood and on the celebrity magazines.
(Subtle hint to picking up the opposite sex - healthy=yes | unhealthy=no thanks, I have a partner)
There is a huge difference in the way that some people lose weight i.e. crash diets, totally leaving out a major part of their nutrition, following old and dispelled myths, fad diets, throwing up and just plain old not eating.
This article will dive into what it means to lose weight safely and fast and how to do it.
::::
If you have ever tried one of the above methods to lose weight before, I feel for you. We are told by marketing hype from all over the globe that you can lose weight from following these old wives tales. But if you consider the question: "Is this a good long term strategy?", then you will always realize, "No... It sure isn't, what idiot did I get this advice from?".
Being overweight or even just having enough body fat to prevent you from wearing some sexy hip hugging jeans or a beautiful dress can be enough to send you over the edge. Marketers and big corporations have learned how sensitive males and females are to being overweight, and they have cashed in big time by selling these crash diets and fad diets world wide.
These people/things have got one thing in mind, pure unadulterated profit.
Benjamins, ching chings, bling blings, rattling pockets, swimming in a sea of your money.
::::
Be thankful though. Some peoples diet choices have ended up with them taking up a seat in heaven. Be grateful that you are able to read this article.
When we put all our problems in perspective, we realize that we are not that bad off compared to some people... Even the person in the worst circumstances has something to be grateful about.
Be thankful that you live in a place where you can freely surf the internet, have a family, earn money, eat what you choose, spend your time how you like it, and if you do not have these freedoms, at least
you have the freedom in your own mind to do what you like (and save up to buy a ticket outta there!).
::::
So what is the method to losing weight safely and fast?
Well it all starts off with a plan.
First, get your nutrition in check, because abs, and therefore your whole body, is made in the kitchen.
We all probably know somebody who hits the gym or always is working out, but still has a bit of a belly on them, now they may have just started those stated activities, or maybe they are still dominating a four pack of mini pizzas each meal?
::::
The first step in your nutrition plan is to take all your food that you know is crap such as chips, cookies, sweets and treats, soda, most canned food, white bread, white sugar, in fact anything that is packaged and does not go off is probably bad for you, and most food with more than one ingredient is often bad for you too, so take those foods and donate them to a charity or a halfway house or something.
Then go shopping for the new you.
Purchase fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, legumes, grass fed/organic dairy products, lean meat, chicken, fish and milk.
How that list is not complete, but hopefully it gives you a head start on the obesity pandemic that this world is in!
Don't buy anything that will stuff up your progress as if you have junk in the house, you will eat junk.
If you are an absolute, self confessed sweet tooth, eating a small (small) bit of dark chocolate (over 70%) is not too bad for your weight loss efforts.
::::
The second step to busting into this new life and body is to form an exercise plan, now this is best done in accordance with a good fitness program, but if you already have a bit of fitness knowledge you can do this yourself, although a good fitness program will always be king, especially if the author has a great body.
However a few things I recommend would be: do a few days cardio and do a couple of light weights for the first two weeks to get your body accustomed to working out before you progress.
This will be enough to kick start anybody who wants to lose weight, and is the foundation of a solid healthy lifestyle.
You will look back at how you used to live and will be disgraced and never even think of going back to it.
If you know that you have a weight problem or you just want to get a bit more toned and defined, come and visit my blog and grab some great advice, free articles, product reviews, and a good old fashioned chat at How To Get Abs.
Don't put off getting abs any longer learn How To Get Abs and enjoy how great you will feel physically, mentally and emotionally.
Until next time,
Feel good, look good and live like you mean it!

How To Loose 14 Pounds in 7 Days - Quickly, Safely, Easily and Permanently

Many people have a few pounds that they want to loose quickly and easily, most of all safely and permanently.
We have discovered a number of successful ways to loose weight and combined them into a quick and easy formula. These should produce excellent results.

Before you start with this diet, it is important that you are not pregnant, breastfeeding or not in good health.
This diet should also not be attempted by morbidly obese people.

Steps for 14 Pound Weight Loss in 7 Days

1) Drink at least 4 litres of water every day.

2) Cut out all Alcohol.

3) Do not drink any carbonated drinks, even diet drinks.

4) Stop eating foods that have a high content of sugar. IE: Chocolate & Cakes.

5) Decrease the amount of Carbohydrates you are eating by 60%. IE: Potatoes

6) Eat at least 6 portions of Fruit and Vegetables every day.

7) You may continue to eat food that is high in protein as usual.

You should eat your three main meals in a size decreasing order, this means that your biggest meal is Breakfast, your medium sized meal is lunch and your smallest meal is supper.
You should also have three snacks throughout the day. I suggest that you have them between meals, this means that you won't get very hungry and over indulge when it comes to meal times.

It is also recommended that you do thirty minutes of exercise every day. This may include a brisk walk or a forty five minute bicycle ride.
It is important that you get your heart rate up whilst doing your exercise, it's not going to do you any good if you take it too easy, you need to work up a bit of a sweat.

Getting a good nights rest is also important when it comes to loosing weight, 75% of people that get a good nights sleep are slimmer than their counterparts that don't get at least 7 hours a night.
We can't over emphasise the need for a good nights rest.

Staying in shape is good for the body and mind alike. Regular exercise can help with depression and when you are feeling generally unhappy.
Loosing a few pounds should also help your self confidence and you general feeling of happiness.
