An
effective rapid weight
loss
plan is something that is the
dream of
so many people in this day and age when
obesity is fast becoming an American epidemic. But too many
of us don't
believe that we can achieve rapid
weight loss, or we're told that it's
not possible.
The problem is that those who don't think it's possible
don't understand the techniques needed to achieve it. They don't
understand carb cycling, carbo loading, carb unloading, working out,
and so on. A rapid weight loss plan IS possible -- but only if you know
what
you're doing.
No matter who you are or what you do, there is one, and only one, way
to lose weight: you have to burn more calories than you consume/store.
It's that simple. But just because it's simple doesn't mean it's easy
for the typical person. This is with the exception of few diets
like

Rapid Weight Loss Plan
Pictures:
The
best way to make sure you are burning more calories than you take
in so that you lose weight is to increase your metabolism and then keep
it at a higher rate.
All of these "starvation or fasting diets"
that
supposedly
work for celebrities (with their high-priced personal trainers) and
"expert" health "gurus" are clearly not very effective; we wouldn't
have the fat epidemic in our society if they really worked for more
than just a fraction of those who try them.
The problem with these
frankly flawed diets is that they are immensely difficult to
maintain--and for a very good reason: they are mostly unnatural and
unhealthy.
They leave you feeling hungry, not sated.
At first, people
on them think that that's just what they need to endure for a temporary
time and then, once they've lost the weight, they'll be satisfied by
their new amounts of food and never constantly feel hungry (or get fat)
again.
Effects of poor rapid weight loss
planning
Unfortunately for most of these people, they soon enough find out how
wrong they are. Those diets cost them too much energy. They tell them
that they can't be themselves, or even human!
All that happens is that
after a few weeks or so, they've lowered their metabolic rate. Their
body is not receiving the food that it's used to receiving, and so it
sends signals to the primitive parts of the brain that it must not need
as much food any longer; but since it no longer needs as much food, it
no longer should burn the calories as fast as it did before.
The brain
slows down the metabolism. The fat starts storing up again. Even if
these people never become as obviously overweight again as they used to
be, they still store fat instead of lean muscle beneath their skin.
Their fat-to-muscle ratios aren't all that good. And they lack energy
on top of that.
The great central problem with these diets is that they don't get
people losing weight through the methods that are used by those who are
obviously the best at it: athletes.
Few athletes and fitness trainers
are on some weak celebrity
diet. They like to eat -- and, they NEED to
eat,
because the key to their success is more than just dieting -- it's
working out. exercising. Now, those fad diets are mainly designed to
keep people from needing to exercise, or at least keep them from
exercising with any serious intensity. People in our lazy society,
after all, tend to be put off by the need to exercise.
Techniques for rapidly losing weight
So, those who are successful with rapid weight loss -- those who can lose
a couple of pounds every week, keep it off, and replace the lost fat
with lean muscle so that they are stronger, fitter, and more energetic
as well as more slender -- consume diets that are designed to maximize
the effects of their workouts.
Their workout regimen is what loses them
the fat and builds them the lean muscle. Their diet fuels their
workouts as well as enhancing the regimen's benefits.
So, what do they do with their diets? They use carb cycling (which
usually follows a six-day disciplined plan) and/or carbo loading
(whereby breakfast is heavy with carbohydrates, but the rest of the
day's meals are lighter on them and there's progressive reducing of
carb intake toward the evening).
Both strategies, used in combination
with a disciplined, intense workout regimen, keep the metabolism
high -- and THAT'S how one achieves rapid weight loss, by having a high
metabolism.
These carb cycling and carbo loading diets also make use of lots of
water/fluids and fibrous carbohydrates (vegetables) so that fiber
intake is high and those following these diets prevent themselves from
overeating.
Furthermore, proteins from various sources (poultry, fish,
eggs, lean beef, peanut butter) are a core of every or most meals so
that food intake volume remains high, but the kind of food being
consumed is that which feeds and repairs muscles while preventing the
storage of much fat in the body.
With carb cycling, fibrous carbs are
consumed usually for three days to increase metabolism and flush out
the body; then the three-day cycle switches to consuming starchy carbs
so that glycogen is restored to the body and there is muscle recovery
and rebuilding.
There are five or six relatively smaller meals eaten per day instead of
the big three squares, too. This keeps the body feeling that it must
continuously burn the calories it takes in even while you're at rest,
and it also prevents sluggishness, nausea, throwing up, and cramping
during workouts.
The majority of those following these diets also allow
themselves a "naughty" or "tasty treat" day an average of one time per
week where they permit themselves to scarf junk food like french fries.
These days are usually indulged in on day off from working out and are
strategically planned to help replenish the body's glucose and fat
stores for fuel during exercise, as well as being a delicious and
well-earned reward for hard work.
Exercising
for rapid
weight loss:
The workout regimen is planned out in advance and working out is done
five or six days per week . The regimens make use of cardio (aerobic
training such as distance running or distance cycling) to allow for
intensive fat burning; strength training for residual fat burning and
muscle preservation; and circuit training or High Intensity Training
(this includes interval training and anaerobic training) to allow for
sufficient rest and recovery of the various muscles as well as to
increase the efficiency of the heart and lungs, which is a key
component of a high metabolic rate
So, the use of carb cycling and/or carbo loading diet regimens coupled
together with disciplined, intense workout regimens is what enables
rapid weight loss. It's simple, but not easy. Nothing worth having or
doing ever is.
