There is no special magic exercise or food that can be claimed to be the best way to lose weight fast, but there are special workout routines and diet plans that will help you achieve similar goals.
The best way to lose weight fast is by reducing your calorie intake by 500 calories below maintenance level and performing 3 very intense resistance training workouts per week. By joining both diet and exercise, you convert your body into a fat burning furnace which allows your body to burn fat all day and all night, even while you sleep!
You can find such instructions in a step by step manner in popular instructional guides like Craig Ballantyne’s Turbulence Training routine.
Eating 5 to 6 meals a day with high fiber carbs and lean protein in every meal is by far the best way to lose weight fast. They say you are what you eat. If you eat accordingly, you can get a body like a Greek warrior. All you need to do is to enhance your calorie deficit by performing resistance training workouts that lead to a very high level of calorie expenditure causing your body to change positively in a very short period of time.
There are several quick ways to lose weight that you probably would have seen or heard like diet pills, special ab machines, joining the gym, spending hours and hours of useful time with cardio machines, yoga lessons, pilates etc… Yet, most people following these routines successfully lose weight for a short period of time and then reach a sudden halt or gain even more weight in the future.
The most successful and quick way to lose weight is to lose focus on weight loss and turn your attention to fat loss because you should not be concerned on how heavy you are but more concerned on how much fat you carry in comparison to your muscle. If your body fat levels are below 12% (for men) and 19% for women, you are pretty healthy and have nothing to be concerned about.
Therefore, the quickest way to lose weight aka the fat is by creating a calorie deficit in your diet and performing at least 3 strength training routines to maintain muscle while losing the fat.
In order to burn fat effectively, you need to eat the right foods at the right time. By doing so, you are able to maintain a very high level of metabolism. What kind of food should you eat and how often? That depends on the goal you wish to achieve. In order to get lean, you need to eat 500 calories less than maintenance level and feed your body every 2 to 3 hours.
Failing to do so will only damage your metabolism by tuning your body into starvation mode where your body ends up storing fat rather than using it for fuel. You really do not want that to happen. I read this review on a caloric shifting weight loss program called fatloss4idiots which you might find interesting since it claims that help you lose a lot of weight by simply manipulating what you eat.
