If you are reading this, then I already know something about you: You want to burn fat and look lean. Maybe you want to get that six-pack youve always dreamed of or finally fit back into your wedding dress, look great in a swimsuit, or just plain feel better.

Whatever the goal, you are certainly not alone. Most people in this world know what its like to live with extra body weight.

And there are several roadblocks that can keep you from seeing results. You may have already tried dieting, eating less and exercising more and still not lost weight like you know you should have. If thats the case these are the most common things that can get in the way:

The good news is I have developed a comprehensive, all-natural plan to help you burn the belly fat, lose the love handles, melt your muffin top and banish cellulite fast!

There are 3 keys on how to lose 20 pounds in 30 days:

There are 3 main foods that can absolutely ruin your weight loss efforts. I call these the metabolism death foods. You will want to remove and replace this foods with healthy alternatives if you want to see quick results.

Processed Sugar Contrary to popular belief, fat isnt the first thing that will make you fat, its consuming too much sugar. Also, sugar can be hidden under names like: corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, juice concentrate, maltodextrin, raw sugar and brown sugar.These sugars can often be hidden in things that sound like health foods including: fruit juice, granola bars, dressings and protein bars.

What to do instead: All of these types of sugar you will want to eliminate and replace with green stevia and raw honey but even both of these in moderation.

Whole Grains I know it may seem like whole grains like wheat bread are healthy but most are far from helping your metabolism. Three of the main compounds in grains such as wheat include gluten, starch and phytic acid all of which can cause issues. Gluten causes inflammation, starch turns into sugar quickly and phytic acid binds to minerals so you are not really getting many nutrients when you consume whole grains.

What to do instead: A better option for fat loss is replacing your daily intake of grains with fruits and vegetables or consuming up to 1 piece daily of a sprouted grain bread or sourdough. When it comes to using flour switch to coconut flour its the perfect flour for fat loss.

How to Lose 20 Pounds In 30 Days - DrAxe.com

The following is a guest post by Nate Green, who works with Dr. John Berardi, nutritional advisor to athletes like UFC champion Georges St. Pierre (GSP).

This is the first of two blog posts entailing extreme physical experiments. Absolutely no performance enhancing drugs of any kind were used.

Part 1 this post details exactly how topfighters like Georges St. Pierre rapidly lose 20-30 pounds for weigh-ins. To refine the method, Nate performed this on himself, losing 20 pounds in 5 days. The unique part: Dr. Berardi and team measured key variables throughout the entire process, including the last rehydration phase. As Berardi put it:

We used GSPs exact protocol with him [Nate]. The idea was that by doing this with a guy who didnt actually have to compete the next day, we could measure all sorts of performance variables that youd never get with an athlete about to fight.

Part 2 the next post will share how Nate used intermittent fasting and strategically planned eating to gain 20 pounds in 28 days, emulating a fighter who wants (or needs) to move up a weight class in competition.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)fighters put it all out in the open for the world to see: they kick, punch, laugh, cry, and bleed in front of thousands of arena fans and millions more watching at home.

But even if youre a hardcorefan who knows all the stats, theres something behind the scenes that youve probably never seen in full: world-class weight manipulation

Done right, it can significantly increase a fighters chances of winning. An athlete will artificially lower his weight for pre-fight weigh-ins, then show up to the actual fight 10, 20, or even 30 pounds heavier than his opponent. Its a game changer.

Done wrong, it can make even the toughest guy lose his edge and probably the fight. Theres serious risk of organ failure if done haphazardly.

How To Lose Weight Fast & Easy w/ NO EXERCISE.

PRECAUTIONS: + Green Tea can cause slight seizures, although he population that carries this rare symptom is rather less, it is still a duty to advise you on it. Before starting the Greentea/Oolong Tea abby diet, i prefer you have a cup or two and see if another amounts. + Green Tea can cause slight dizziness, feelings of vomiting, nausea, headache etc.. if you follow my steps exactly in the video you can very well avoid these symptoms easily. Do not take green tea for granted and drink more cups a day than I said, and do not have it on an empty stomach unless you have tried it once and had no reactions whatsoever (like me) in which cases when your in a rush to head off somewhere, those who can withstand it on an empty stomach, it is ok to do so, but do not do it everyday, and more than once in a day, even if you know you have or CAN handle it due to experience.

MOST ASKED QUESTION - Whats My Height, Age, and Weight. Height: 161.5cm - 5ft 3inches - grew an inch after weight loss, was 5"2 all my life till 17. Age: May 05 1994 - Its 2014 - I Turned 20 this year :/ BYEBYE TEEN LIFE D: Weight: My weight Fluctuates every now and then, Mainly because I am a woman, and we do have weight fluctuations quite frequently, also my body *morph* type is prone to fluctuations. Iam currently 60-63kgs, but mostly stay at 61 & 62. 63 being the highest in the middle of my monthly's for the most.

HOW MANY CALORIES SHOULD YOU EAT? I personally eat 1200 cals a day but thats for my height, This doesn't apply to everyone as all women come in different shapes and sizes. What i can recommend is for you to find out your BMI and it will calculate everything for you depending on your height. Some people who saw my video got mistaken and assumed I've told all women to eat UNDER 1000 Cals, including men. In order to reduce the amount of assumptions i get and unnecessary notification that are rather unimportant as even me making a video falls of def ears to a few tempered humans, i thought of adding this into my description. Type into your "Google Toolbar" for a BMI calculator, and you shall be presented with one online. Also, notice how i said don't starve yourself. If i would say that, it would be so incoherent to saying to eat under 1000 cals which literally is STARVING YOURSELF.

WHAT DID I SAY AT 11:20-11:25? I said "SOUP" can fill you Up. (btw soups with creams are Fattening).

Foods That will help you see results in 2 weeks: Lemon / Lime Pineapples Apples Prunes (After or Before every meal {CAN ALSO BE USED FOR SNACKING). GreenTea ( For 3 - 4 months [MORNING + LATE AFTERNOON + EVENING] half an hour after every meal. Oolong Tea / Wulong Tea (After 3 - 4 months). half an hour after every meal. Honey + Lemon + Hot Water (Before Sleeping).

TIPS & WARNINGS: Green Tea & Oolong is best from either a traditional Chinese market/store or Walmart. Do not add too much honey to your prior sleep drink because it can cause heartburn as normal honey does. Do not Eat over 5 - 6 Prunes a day. It might cause irritation to your bowl movement. Do not go overboard with Pineapples and Apples just because it helps burn fat. Everything should be eaten in healthy quantities. Fruits can cause uncomfortable bloating or a beautiful gassy BUM!!! hahahaha Eat frozen yogurt instead of regular Ice cream.

Hope I haven't missed out any important Tips or Additional Information.

How to Lose Weight and Keep It Off In This Article

In our eat-and-run, massive-portion-sized culture, maintaining a healthy weight can be toughand losing weight, even tougher. If youve tried and failed to lose weight before, you may believe that diets dont work for you. Youre probably right: most diets dont workat least not in the long term. However, there are plenty of small but powerful ways to avoid common dieting pitfalls, achieve lasting weight loss success, and develop a healthier relationship with food.

Successfully managing your weight comes down to a simple equation:If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight. And if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight. Sounds easy, right? Then why is losing weight so hard?

Well for one, weight loss isnt a linear event over time. When you cut calories, you may drop a pound or so each week for the first few weeks, for example, and then something changes. You eat the same number of calories but you lose less weight. And then the next week you dont lose anything at all. Thats because when you lose weight youre losing water and lean tissue as well as fat, your metabolism slows, and your body changes in other ways. So, in order to continue dropping weight each week, youll need to continue cutting calories.

Secondly, while in essence a calorie is a calorie, your body reacts differently to different types of food. So eating 100 calories of high fructose corn syrup, for example, will have a different effect on your body than eating 100 calories of broccoli. The trick for sustained weight loss is to ditch the foods that are packed with calories but dont make you feel full (like candy) and replace them with foods that fill you up without being loaded with calories (like vegetables).

Thirdly, losing weight in a healthy, sustainable way often takes time. It requires patience and commitment. Extreme diets may promise rapid results but theyre more likely to leave you feeling cranky and starving and losing more cash than weight. Finally, there are emotional aspects of eating that can trip you up. Many of us dont always eat simply to satisfy hunger. We also turn to food for comfort or to relieve stresswhich can derail any weight loss efforts before they begin.

The good news is that by making smarter choices every day, adopting healthy lifestyle changes, and developing new eating habits, youll not only lose weight and be able to keep it off, youll also improve your outlook and mood and have more energy.

We arent born with an innate craving for French fries and donuts or an aversion to broccoli and whole grains. This conditioning happens over time as were exposed to more and more unhealthy food choices. A recent pilot study at Tufts University, however, suggests that its possible to reprogram your brains food cravings so that you hanker for healthier foods instead of high-calorie diet busters. In the study, a small group of subjects enrolled in a behavioral weight management program that emphasizes portion-control and education to change eating habits. After six months, brain scans revealed increased reward and enjoyment of healthy, low-calorie foods, and a decrease in enjoyment of unhealthy, higher-calorie foods.

While more research is needed to be conclusive, this is encouraging news for anyone whose weight loss efforts have been sabotaged by unhealthy food cravings. You can learn to enjoy healthy food!

While there is no one size fits all solution to permanent healthy weight loss, the following guidelines are a great place to start:

Healthy Weight Loss & Dieting Tips: How to Lose Weight and ...

For thousands of athletes, cutting weight is a critical science. Heavyweights are an exception. (Photo: MMAWeekly)

Gaining 34 pounds of lean mass in 28 days? Impossible, or so claim the skeptics.

Losing 20+ pounds of fat in one month without exercise? Impossible, or so claim the skeptics.

So lets add another item to the list of impossibles: I have lost more than 20 pounds in less than 24 hours on more than a dozen occasions.

The most extreme example was 33 lbs. from 185 lbs. to 152 lbs. in less than 20 hours, which produced a rather unpleasant 120 beat-per-minute resting pulse while attempting to sleep.

In 1999, I was a gold medalist at the Sanshou (Chinese kickboxing) national championships in the 165-lb. weight class (here is a video sample of Sanshou). This is perhaps the most controversial accomplishment in the 4HWW, as I make it clear:

I arrived the on-site at 187 lbs., weighed in at 165 lbs., and stepped on the platform to compete the next morning weighing 193 lbs.

This post will explain exactly how its done the techniques, the drugs, the science and include excerpts from a series of articles I wrote for Powerlifting USA in 2004 called The New Technology of Water. Even if you have no need to cut weight, after reading this, you will know more about organ function and hydration than 99% of all athletes in the world

The kickboxing anecdote was controversial because those who cried foul have never competed in weight-class-based sports. This post will also therefore serve as a primer for armchair critics who should do more due diligence. Cutting weight is a prerequisite for elite competition in such sports period.

Matt Kroc Kroczaleski knows this. He is one of the most successful powerlifters in history, with incredible totals at both 220 lbs. (970-lb. squat, 661-lb. benchpress, 783-lb. deadlift = 2414-lb. total) and 242 lbs. (1008-lb. squat, 666-lb. benchpress, 788-lb. deadlift = 2463-lb. total). Here is how he begins his 2007 article on cutting weight:

How to Lose 30 Pounds in 24 Hours: The Definitive Guide to ...

Welcome! If you want to lose weight, gain muscle, increase energy levels or just generally look and feel healthier you've come to the right place.

Here's where to start:

Thanks for visiting!

Losing weight is insufficient terminology. Its too vague, too unspecific. When a person sets out to lose weight, just what are they trying to lose? Bone density? Muscle mass? Organ weight? Of course not theyre generally looking to lose adipose tissue. People want to burn body fat, and they want to do it without negatively impacting the more beneficial sources of (corporeal) gravitas. Simply put, you want to lose fat, not muscle. The only problem is that the popular methods for shedding weight often result in excessive (but really, any amount is excessive) muscle loss, too. Im talking, of course, about precisely the practices I rail against in the Primal Blueprint Chronic Cardio, ultra low-cal/low-fat ascetic dieting, and other trappings of Conventional Fitness Wisdom. Granted, adhering to any, individually or in concert, will probably help you lose weight, but a ton of it will come from your lean mass (not to mention bones and organs). That said, if youre going for skinny-fat chic or the waiflike, undernourished look, feel free to run fifteen miles a day and live off canned tuna and rice cakes. The scale will drop, and you wont be weighed down by that pesky musculature any longer.

But you dont want that (do you?). You want a strong, lean body. You want to maintain your agility, your power, your strength, and your agreeable appearance. You want to burn fat while maintaining (or even building upon) your existing muscle. Heck, if youre mostly interested in burning fat, you need the muscle. Muscle is a hungry, wasteful thing. It craves protein and fat to run effectively, along with a bit of glycogen every now and then to fuel up. Next to the organs and the brain, your muscle mass is one of the biggest consumers of energy in the body, and the more you have, the better your fat loss. Its a delicious cycle the right kind of exercise spares muscle and burns fat, and more muscle with reduced body fat allows you to do the right kind of exercise.

To make sure youre losing the right kind of weight, you have to chart your progress. Its a little more complicated than just watching your total weight, though. In fact, you dont even really need the scale anymore. Well, you can keep it around, but dont get too comfortable; your meetings will be fleeting and infrequent from here on out. Spend a little quality time alone, if you must. Get your fill of each other, because youre going to be using an entirely different set of barometers to monitor your weight loss: eyes, ears, belts, and weights.

Check yourself out. Dont hover in front of the mirror, though. Strip down to the bare essentials and take full body snapshots, making sure to space them out every few days. A lot of people tend to obsess over minor daily fluctuations, but youre not going to see a whole lot of visual differences that quickly. Five days, six days, or definitely a week, however, can be enough time to notice a difference in a direct comparison. Look out for misshapen lumps, sagging chests, flabby underarms all signs that youre losing muscle and maintaining fat.

If youre doing it right, you should be getting noticed. Whether its a significant other, a co-worker, or friends, people will compliment you. Heed their words. When people say, Youve lost weight! (and theyre not your grandmother clicking her tongue in disapproval) and, You look stronger and healthier! it means youre on the right track. Take it as a sign.

Losing fat and maintaining muscle means dropping pants sizes. Using an extra notch on the belt is good. Having to buy an entirely new belt is better. Using a hole punch to create new holes because you cant afford a new belt is pretty bad but at least youre still losing fat.

The best way to ensure youre maintaining muscle mass is to chart your progress in the weight room. Muscle loss is accompanied by a reduction in strength, so if you find yourself failing to hit the marks you used to destroy with ease, youre probably eating muscle. Its a bad sign if youre dropping weight and doing fewer pull-ups than before.

How to Maintain Muscle While Losing Weight | Mark's Daily ...

I was a bit loath to write this series of articles because I despise most things connected with the idea of rapid weight loss.

Wild promises of losing upwards of 1 pound per day, and the extreme weight loss measures that go with them, are a big reason why many people ultimately fail to achieve and maintain their weight loss goals.

The reality is you have to look at getting and staying fit as a LIFESTYLE change, not a quick fix.

Chasing quick fixes leads to yo-yo dieting, which doesnt necessarily physically impair future weight loss efforts, but sure is psychologically defeating.

Proper weight loss, however, is slow and steady, never leaves you feeling starved or run down, and even allows for building muscle and strength.This is, by far, the best way to go about losing weight.

So, with that said, lets get to why Iamwriting this article series.

Im writing these articles to help people that are desperately seeking rapid weight loss, and are willing to just about do anything to get there.

Common reasons for this are things like

Whatever your reason for wanting to lose weight fast, in this three-part article series, youre going to learn how to safely, healthily, and rapidlylose weightup to 15-20 pounds in one monthWITHOUT sacrificing a bunch of muscle or your metabolism, or any other aspect of your health.

The Motivation To Lose Weight

By Joshua Wayne, MA

We all know diets work. Every book, article, regimen, fitness plan, you name it works as long as you actually do it. Getting the motivation to follow through is arguably the most important part of losing weight. The information will always be there, but the motivation....that's the elusive piece of the puzzle, the thing that everyone wants and few of us have. How do you get the motivation to get started, stay on track, and most importantly, to get where you want to go?

How To Get To The Core Of Weight Loss Motivation

We get emails from people in everyday sharing their frustrations and challenges with weight loss. About 60% of them say they lack the motivation to stick with their weight loss program. They report that they do well for awhile and lose some weight, but inevitably fall off track- whether due to a loss of focus or some other kind of self-sabotage.

As a Personal Development Coach specializing in weight loss, and who was originally trained as a psychotherapist, it's very easy for me to give them advice, but as I sat down to write this article, I thought it might be nice to really start at the most basic, fundamental level of understanding motivation, and to then work up from there.

So armed with my trusty Mozilla Firefox I did a quick Google search for a basic definition of the word. Here is the first thing that Google gave me to consider (it came from an online dictionary associated with Princeton University):

"the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that which gives purpose and the condition of being motivated."

So let's pull some key words from that definition and see if we can come up with a useful way to apply the concept to weight loss.

Action Toward a Desired Goal:

***Repeat each week, but continually increase the weight each time, or at least add some reps to each set.

How to Lose 10 Pounds in a Month - Coach Calorie

Body fat is rarely evenly spread. In some women for example, their thighs are a major source of fat accumulation, resulting in a body shaped like a pear -- wherein the upper half appears leaner than the lower half because of wide and bulky thighs. Spot reducing does not work, so concentrate instead on pursuing a healthy set of goals, focused on fat loss more than "weight" loss.

Exercise bike

Jumping rope

Strength train for at least 20 minutes, two to three times a week on non-consecutive days. Execute squats three times per week. Start by having your own body weight as a resistance for the first three weeks of your squat routine. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart. Inhale as you lower yourself to a squat -- bend your knees, keeping your knees from extending past your toes, until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Exhale as you go back to standing position. Make sure to keep your back straight during execution. Do this procedure in three sets of 10 repetitions. Gradually increase your resistance after the first three weeks by performing it with dumbbells in both hands. As you improve, work your way up to using a Smith machine or barbell. Fill out the rest of your well-rounded weight program with lunges, presses and curls for the arms, kettlebell swings or snatches

Perform dumbbell lunges. Stand upright, feet shoulder-width apart, with dumbbells in both hands. Relax your arms and shoulders to allow the dumbbells to hang down at your sides. Step your right leg forward as far as you can, while you keep your left leg in place. As your right foot lands in front of you, bend both your knees to lower your body. Step your right foot back to starting position. Step forward using your left leg. Repeat the right and left alternating lunge 10 to 15 times. When you flex both your knees, make sure that the knee of your front leg -- the one stepping forward -- is not flexed beyond your front toes. Make sure your back leg does not touch the floor as you flex.

Eat mindfully. That means making healthy eating choices and ingesting enough calories to fuel your workouts. Concentrate on eating adequate amounts of protein, carbs and healthy fats. Add more fiber to your diet to not only keep yourself feeling full long after a meal, but to help your digestive process. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, whole-grain products and low-fat dairy. Snack on seeds and nuts between meals if you're feeling hungry or just have a big glass of water to quell your hunger pangs.

Participate in at least 30 minutes of moderately-intense aerobic activity every day. Ride an exercise bike, swim, jog or go on a brisk walk to help tone your muscles and trim your thighs. For an effective hit on your thighs, try to stand up instead of sitting down in an exercise bike and pedal as fast as you can. For swimming, paddle your legs more as you go over with your strokes, especially when you're doing the back stroke. Turn your brisk walk into interval training by adding an element of jogging. Walk at a brisk pace for up to two minutes and then break into a light jog for 30 seconds. Execute this alternating jog and walk cycle for 25 to 30 minutes, three times per week.

Jump rope three to four times per week as part of your aerobic workout. This is a good thigh exercise and is an excellent warmup or cool-down routine. Start by turning the rope forward and alternately jump your legs using the jogging pace. Slightly bend your knees to keep the impact low as you jump, and keep your back straight during the entire procedure. You can increase the difficulty by jumping both legs at the same time instead of doing the jogging pace or step.
