What is the Quickest Way to Lose Weight?

Posted by Curtis Ludlow

Get ready to experience the quickest way to lose weight safely and almost effortlessly.

Yes, it's true that there is no substitute for a good long term weight management program, however, many people procrastinate and want the quickest, easiest way.

It's a fact of life that some people are so desperate to lose weight that many don't take the time to consider the safety or the long-term effects of the various programs and treatments available.

So, what's the quickest way to lose weight that's both safe and easy?

You'll be glad to know that I've identified three simple weight loss strategies that require minimal effort and will produce maximum results - FAST.

Here are the three strategies:

Water

Many people consume a large percentage of their total daily calories by drinking them.

If your goal is weight loss, then you should eliminate or reduce the number of calories that you drink.

If you start your day with a Starbucks cafe latte you've already drank 265 of mostly empty calories.

If you have a 20 ounce bottle of Coca-Cola with lunch you can tally another 227 calories onto your total consumption.

Finally, if you have beer or glass of wine with dinner you can add 150 additional empty to calories to your score.

What's the solution? Carry a bottle of water with you wherever you go. Drink it. Refill it. Drink some more.

That's a nearly effortless way to eliminate 500 - 700 calories from your daily consumption.

Want something other than water?

Have a loose leaf green tea. Try it iced if don't like it hot.

Protein

Moderately increasing protein intake will help you lose weight in three ways.

Protein increases satiety more than carbohydrate and fat. Increased satiety means that you'll be less likely to over-indulge on simple carbs and calorically dense fat.
Consumption of protein facilitates diet induced thermogenic reactions. What does THAT mean? It means that you'll burn more calories than if you eat simple carbohydrate and fat.
Eating protein facilitates muscle growth, lean muscle mass retention and improved metabolic profile scores.

Exercise

If your goal is to find and implement the quickest way to lose weight, then exercise should be a key part of your strategy to make that happen.

Studies clearly indicate that exercise is associated with the loss of body fat.

However, studies also indicate that non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) has a greater impact on ones potential to become overweight or overfat.

NEAT is the total energy expenditure of all activities other than sports/physical fitness.

Obese and overweight people tend to be seated 2.5 hours more per day than their sedentary lean counterparts.

Losing weight quickly is simple and we've already covered some key points to make that happen. Another strategy to keep in mind is a long-term weight loss solution so that your weight doesn't yo-yo up and down.

One simple way to take advantage of NEAT is by standing up more frequently and stretching at regular intervals throughout the day.

So remember, trying to figure out what is the quickest way to lose weight is not necessarily in your best interests.

Fortunately, if you implement the three strategies mentioned above you will lose weight fast and more importantly transform your entire lifestyle.
