I am often asked: "What is the fastest way to lose weight?" I fully understand the question - the term "weight loss" is generally associated with unpleasant things like hunger, deprivation and physical pain. With an attitude like that, no wonder you want to "do away" with haste.

I wish I had a pat answer - I would be a gajillionaire (which is more than a bazillion).

The truth is that, since every body is different, there is no fastest way> to lose weight. (A friend of mine e-mail to say he has lost 20 pounds after spending two months in 130 degree heat of Iraq - NOT recommended as a weight! loss plan with him). I think most people who ask me that question already know the stock answer: take in fewer calories than you expend during a day. And for most people, this is to reduce calorie intake and increasing exercise.

But the fastest way to> Weight loss is often to use common sense.

During the course of my life, I went through military training, and trained to run a marathon, and sat fat by 4%. I also 30 pounds overweight and can run up to the mailbox. I know the ups and downs of weight loss. I saw the pounds drop off like miles on an odometer, and I spent weeks looking at the same time damn high number on a scale.

Bottom line for me: my bestway to lose weight was not my mouth or padlock chaining myself to a treadmill. It was not to eat protein, not fat, carbohydrate or low. But in my years of experience with this, I can safely say the fastest way to lose weight is MY. Want to know?

'S when I made the mental transition from "wanting to lose weight" to "I do not care if it's the last thing I do - I'm going to weigh xxx! Libra I' and 'when I went tosuck my stomach in front of the mirror, as I said, "I'm fat, I look terrible. And I'm going to change right now."

I began to see myself constantly at my ideal weight. Do not get me wrong: I'm not talking positive thinking here. As I see at that weight, I kept asking myself: "I wish these people eat ice cream now? Second person I would like this have helped? Person that I would be too busy to exercise today?" EWhatever the answer was, I would. No rationalizations, no bargaining, no "I deserve this", not "just a spoon." My quickest way to lose weight was when I went from "I hate this (the regime of weight loss) to" I want to be like (xxx) and I'll do what it takes to do so.

I'd like to say that the first time I tried it, it went like clockwork. I did the mental shift overnight. But I'd be lying.

Here's what I leave to you: II do not know that the fastest way to lose weight is for you. There are countless diet doctor-tested and exercise programs out there. Some are managed, some leave it all to you. But they all work.

Or rather, once you get the right mind. So choose a plan that you can stick to, what can work. Determine what your ideal weight. Visualize yourself at that ideal weight. But here's the crux - ask yourself: "WhatEat this person? How much exercise would this person do today? - "This is good, not thinking it's positive action of weight. Making the mental shift can only be the fastest way to lose.
