How To Lose Weight Quickly

There are only a few way to lose massive amounts of weight quickly. The most foolproof is surgery. They others are pretty messy.

It probably took you years to put on the pounds you carry around. Looking to get rid of them overnight is like expecting to strike oil in your front yard. You have to remember what I call "weight loss math."

A pound of body fat (yes, that's gross) has about 3,500 calories. If you burn 750 calories per day, which is some good exercise, it would take you about 4.5 days to get rid of that pound. If you're 30 pounds overweight, it would take you 140 days. And that's assuming you aren't eating anything. You'd be dead by then.

Physiologically speaking, losing weight takes a little time. Now, it doesn't have to take years. If you want to know how to lose weight quickly, here's your answer: Reduce your net caloric intake per day significantly.

Suppose you eat 2,000 calories per day. If you cut that to 1,500 per day, and you burn 500 exercising, your net caloric intake is 1,000. If you're 30 pounds overweight, and you're starving your body of 1,000 calories per day, you should lose your weight in about 105 days. And you still get to eat! Just not as much as you want.

Four months to thinness might not sound "quick" to you, but it really isn't a long time. You might not see those results, but it's possible. Even if it took you 6-12 months, is that a problem? Sexy in under a year. Not bad.
