Quick Weight Loss - Is it Possible?

Are you looking for a quick weight loss solution? Have you tried many of those fad diets, or those products advertised on TV that promise that you'll look like a model within a few short weeks? Have you taken dietary supplements expecting that you would lose weight quickly and permanently?

Well, unfortunately I'm here to tell you that quick weight loss is just not possible! A quick weight loss solution does not exist - certainly not one that is healthy or that burns fat. Those quick weight loss solutions that are advertised are "scams", especially the ones that tell you that you can just sit back and relax "while the pounds just fall off". Many of the so-called products offered on TV just don't work - certainly not in the way they are portrayed.

The truth is, without proper diet and exercise, along with regular strength-training to build lean tissue, permanent weight loss is not possible. Sure you can lose a lot of water with many of the supplements on the market today, or by drastically restricting your calories. Sometimes, you can drop as many as 8 pounds in one week, however those pounds consist of "water" as previously mentioned. Just eat a few good carbohydrates, and your back to storing water again. Before you know it, you've gained all of those 8 pounds back!

So, what do you do? First off, pick up this month's issue of FitnessRx (February 2008). The magazine's key headline is: "2008 Fat Loss Special!". Some other headlines include: "Burn Fat Fast!" and "Shed 20lbs in Two Months". To me, 20 lbs in two months is quick weight loss! However, it requires that you follow a regime of strength-training, cardio and dietary restriction, supplemented with quality weight loss supplements to compound your results.

I've read the February issue of FitnessRx and it's great. As I've mentioned previously, FitnessRx is my favorite women's health and fitness magazine. Read the February issue and you'll see why. In fact, order a copy online and receive it at home. It'll keep you motivated and informed and it will add a lot of variety to your normal exercise and fitness routine.

Don't want to get the issue of FitnessRx? Then follow some of the guidelines I've provided in previous posts. Unfortunately, quick weight loss is never permanent. You need to be vigilant and committed to changing the way you eat and live for life.

I'd love to hear some inspirational stories, so be sure to drop me a line. I would be happy to share your success stories with our daily readers.

Have a great night! Talk to you tomorrow.
