Diet Plans That Work Quickly

     Lose 10 pounds in 10 days - GUARANTEED!

"Man, this guy's got a plan that guarantees 10 pounds lost in 10 days? Guarantees it! I don't need to read any more. Show me the link!"

Got your attention, didn't I? No, this isn't a real offer, although there are many, many diet plans that guarantee a specific weight loss within a specific period of time. How can they guarantee that you will lose the weight within their time period? The truth is, they can't. Everyone's body is different. We lose and gain weight at different rates. We all have different activity levels, and activity - or lack of it - contributes to weight loss. Many if not most of these types of diet plans have very restrictive conditions on what you can eat. With that in mind, do you have the commitment to follow through once you start one of these plans or will you cheat or outright give up? Speaking of restrictive, what are the terms of the guarantee? What's in it for you if you don't succeed? Short of holding a loaded gun to your head, what encouragement or support do these plans offer to ensure you will be successful? These are some of the things you should be thinking of if you look at any of these "guaranteed" diet programs.

What price are you willing to pay to lose a lot of weight quickly? I'm not talking just money. As previously noted, many of these diet plans have very limited food choices. Chances are you will not only be giving up some food types but proper nutrition as well. When viewed from the point of what your body needs to be properly nourished as compared to what they allow you to eat, some of these plans are not only unhealthy for you, they border on unsafe, especially if followed for more than a short period of time. Are you willing to risk your health for the chance of fitting into those smaller jeans next month for your friend's patio party?

If you buy one of these diet plans that work quickly, and you succeed in losing the weight you desire, do you think you will be able to maintain that weight loss long term? Chances are you won't. Statistically, 95% of the people who start a diet regain all - or more - of the weight they lost. I have a friend who says he’s lost 300 pounds – the same 20 pounds 15 times. He is a sucker for these quick weigh loss diet plans and has been on a yo-yo loss/gain rollercoaster for much of his adult life. Will you be a five percenter or at the end of the day will the only thing that will be lighter is your wallet?

You’ve heard it a thousand times: the best way to lose weight is to lose it slowly. By making life style changes as well as diet changes you have a better chance of keeping the weight off. Why have you heard this so often? Because it’s true! Whether you’re 20 pounds overweight or obese, you didn’t get that way overnight. Why should you expect to lose weight overnight? It ain’t gonna happen. Don’t just accept that fact, embrace it. Be a friend to your body; be a friend to your soul. Don’t answer the siren call of a quickie weight loss diet, when you know in your heart of hearts you will be disappointed in the end.

There are many reputable diet plans that will give you the tools to lose weight and be successful in keeping it off. They offer recipes, meal plans, and most important, support. They will help you on what should be a life journey, not just a short sprint. You will have to do some research to find the plan that best fits your needs, but it will be time well spent. With the proper plan you can become a five percenter. You WILL become a five percenter.
