Fast Weight Loss Tips For Women Biography
Source:- Google.com.pkFat Loss via Better Science and Simplicity
It is possible to lose 20 lbs. of bodyfat in 30 days by optimizing any of three factors: exercise, diet, or drug/supplement regimen. I’ve seen the elite implementation of all three in working with professional athletes. In this post, we’ll explore what I refer to as the “slow-carb diet”.
In the last six weeks, I have cut from about 180 lbs. to 165 lbs., while adding about 10 lbs. of muscle, which means I’ve lost about 25 lbs. of fat. This is the only diet besides the rather extreme Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD) that has produced veins across my abdomen, which is the last place I lose fat (damn you, Scandinavian genetics). Here are the four simple rules I followed…
Rule #1: Avoid “white” carbohydrates
Avoid any carbohydrate that is — or can be — white. The following foods are thus prohibited, except for within 1.5 hours of finishing a resistance-training workout of at least 20 minutes in length: bread, rice, cereal, potatoes, pasta, and fried food with breading. If you avoid eating anything white, you’ll be safe.
Rule #2: Eat the same few meals over and over again
The most successful dieters, regardless of whether their goal is muscle gain or fat loss, eat the same few meals over and over again. Mix and match, constructing each meal with one from each of the three following groups:
Proteins:
Egg whites with one whole egg for flavor
Chicken breast or thigh
Grass-fed organic beef
Pork
Legumes:
Lentils
Black beans
Pinto beans
Vegetables:
Spinach
Asparagus
Peas
Mixed vegetables
Eat as much as you like of the above food items. Just remember: keep it simple. Pick three or four meals and repeat them. Almost all restaurants can give you a salad or vegetables in place of french fries or potatoes. Surprisingly, I have found Mexican food, swapping out rice for vegetables, to be one of the cuisines most conducive to the “slow carb” diet.
Most people who go on “low” carbohydrate diets complain of low energy and quit, not because such diets can’t work, but because they consume insufficient calories. A 1/2 cup of rice is 300 calories, whereas a 1/2 cup of spinach is 15 calories! Vegetables are not calorically dense, so it is critical that you add legumes for caloric load.
Some athletes eat 6-8x per day to break up caloric load and avoid fat gain. I think this is ridiculously inconvenient. I eat 4x per day:
10am – breakfast
1pm – lunch
5pm – smaller second lunch
7:30-9pm – sports training
10pm – dinner
12am – glass of wine and Discovery Channel before bed
Here are some of my meals that recur again and again:
Rule #3: Don’t drink calories
Drink massive quantities of water and as much unsweetened iced tea, tea, diet sodas, coffee (without white cream), or other no-calorie/low-calorie beverages as you like. Do not drink milk, normal soft drinks, or fruit juice. I’m a wine fanatic and have at least one glass of wine each evening, which I believe actually aids sports recovery and fat-loss. Recent research into resveratrol supports this.
Rule #4: Take one day off per week
I recommend Saturdays as your “Dieters Gone Wild” day. I am allowed to eat whatever I want on Saturdays, and I go out of my way to eat ice cream, Snickers, Take 5, and all of my other vices in excess. I make myself a little sick and don’t want to look at any of it for the rest of the week. Paradoxically, dramatically spiking caloric intake in this way once per week increases fat loss by ensuring that your metabolic rate (thyroid function, etc.) doesn’t downregulate from extended caloric restriction. That’s right: eating pure crap can help you lose fat. Welcome to Utopia.

It goes without saying that you’ll want to be under the care of a qualified herbalist, nutritionist, doctor or naturopath… But so you’re aware, you have a ton of options for dealing with high blood pressure. The use of common foods/herbs like cayenne, garlic, hawthorne and many more can be incredibly successful, inexpensive ways of supporting normal blood pressure with few or no side effects. Also, calming activities like yoga and walking can help. I’m sure there are experts in your geographic area who can further advise you on a personal basis.
Alexis,
I agree that chemically-manufactured artificial sweeteners are evil, and I stay away from them. Though some of the condemning literature may smack of paranoia, it’s just not worth the risk to me when there are wonderful alternatives like the herb Stevia rebaudiana, which helps support the pancreas while offering a sweet taste with few or no calories. If you’re not familiar with it, stevia is most often available as a white powder or clear liquid. I use the Wild Oats brand, as I think it is a good value. It is very potent – 2-4 drops in a beverage is sufficient. A quick search on Google should deliver documentation of its long-term safe use in Brazil and Japan. Even for someone who believes that artificial sweeteners are innocuous, why put something merely neutral in your body when something beneficial can be used in its stead?

This is quite possibly the most important thing dieters can now:
“Paradoxically, dramatically spiking caloric intake in this way once per week increases fat loss by ensuring that your metabolic rate (thyroid function, etc.) doesn’t downregulate from extended caloric restriction. That’s right: eating pure crap can help you lose fat.”
I’m going to do this for one next week and let you know the effects of just one week!!! Thanks for this info Tim. As always you’re the man in the know…

Yes, this is very true. Going on a diet for long periods of time can certainly lower your metabolism. What is more, severe calorie restriction or fasting for more than 60-72 hours can put you into starvation mode. That’s why it’s very beneficial to increase your calorie intake from time to time to avoid metabolic slowdown.

Hi everyone, I’m 14 years old, and 170 pounds. Within the last month, Iost 18 pounds(I really don’t know how…), I try to do what I did before, but nothing is happening, I want to lose at least 10 more pounds before September. I also have no idea what ANYTHING on this site means, I know some things, but not all these fancy terms that people my age wouldn’t know. Can someone give me some foods that are simple, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Thank you to anyone who can help me out!

Breakfast:
Try black coffee, it may sound gross but without the extra sugar and cream you’ll be taking away the fat calories. Eggs are especially good because it boosts your protein level, and some toast.
Lunch:
Always be looking for more protein like tuna fish because it can give you energy to work out more.
Dinner:
3 ounces of meat lean or chicken some green beans
**ALWAYS drink lots of water substitute it for soda or sugary juices
**if you’re having hunger cravings try some negative calorie foods like apples, celery, mangoes, broccoli
For breakfast you could try oatmeal cooked with water. 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 1 cup of water mixed together and put in the microwave for a few minutes until cooked through. Mix a small handful of berries through that and it should keep you good for the morning.
You could have a high fibre, low calorie, low sugar cereal with almond milk – read the labels to choose one that’s best for you.
Alternatively you could have eggs for breakfast.
Have a snack around 10am when you’re at school, something like fruit or raw veges (carrot, celery, cucumber etc).
For lunch have something low in saturated fat and high in protein like tuna, chicken breast etc. Have a spinach leaf salad with your favourite salad veges and the tuna/chicken mixed through.
I imagine that you don’t get a lot of choice with dinner as you’re both fourteen, but maybe if your family is having a high carb side to their meal (like potatoes, bread etc) you could sub that for a salad or a carb which is easier to digest like sweet potato. You could cut your dinner down a little too and eat a smaller portion than you usually would.
What you guys have to remember is that you’re fourteen. It could just be a simple case of cutting out all junk food and making your meal portions a wee bit smaller which will make you lose weight. Your bodies are still developing so make sure you don’t cut out too much as you are going through a lot of growth and development at the moment.
Oh and drink LOTS of water!
