Tips To Lose Weight Fast? Remember, Patience Is A Virtue

Many of the questions I get from clients and readers alike are regarding tips to lose weight fast. Now this is a tricky subject, because "quick" is a relevant term-it's all "in the eye of the beholder", as the old saying goes.

If you're looking for tips to lose weight fast and want drastic results in "1-2 business days", you need to take a seat so I can explain a few things to you. You see, weight loss, in order to be successful, has to be a process (and by "successful" I mean you will not get sick in the process and you KEEP the weight off). You can't expect to lose 50 pounds in a week because you are setting your self up for disappointment.

Many different factors play into the weight loss "game"-and in order to be a winner, you have to play by the rules and put the effort in as far as diet and exercise are concerned. As most of you already know, you NEED to be getting sufficient calories to be going about daily life as well as have sufficient energy to exercise on top of all your other responsibilities.

The TYPE of food you put into your body will determine how successful the diet aspect will be. Fuel your body with lean protein, complex carbs, whole grains, and fresh fruits and veggies-and you will start feeling better from the inside-out.

If, on the other hand you get your calories from highly processed foods, sodas, and other unhealthy sources, not only are you bound to overeat, but you are filling your body with toxins while you are at it. Even your conscience plays a role. Why do you think they call them "GUILTY pleasures"?

Well, because these sugary, fatty foods taste great but you and I both know they take a toll on your waistline. Now this doesn't mean you can never have a piece of grandma's heavenly chocolate chip cookies--it just means don't have the whole batch and definitely don't indulge everyday.

And as far exercise goes-well, you gotta do it. There's no way around this one if you really want to reach your full potential. Diet can only take you so far. Cutting calories to lose weight is part of the equation, but again you need enough to keep going. So how do you create that "calorie deficit" to shed the pounds? You got it-by exercising.

So for those of you looking for a quick fix, what's the "silver lining" in all of this? Well, I can assure you that within just a couple of days that you decide to make a change and start a HEALTHY weight loss program balancing nutrition and exercise-you will FEEL an almost immediate, positive difference.

This "difference" will in turn boost your mood and all those wonderful endorphins you release when you exercise will make you WANT to keep going. And THAT is the key to successful weight loss. Determination, perseverence and PATIENCE will all help you reach your goals.
