What are the Dangers and Problems of Rapid Weight Loss
People searching for weight loss programs and diets today seem to be searching more for rapid weight loss than permanent, healthy weight loss. Unfortunately, it is a fact that quick diet weight loss programs are seldom without their dangers, and their results usually range from erratic to nonexistent.
I would advise anyone seeking to lose weight to substitute the term 'healthy weight loss program' for 'rapid weight loss program'. I hope, the following short discussion will explain my position to some extent.

Fat Loss Muscle Gain – Four Ways to Burn Fat Without Muscle Loss
Building muscle is the best way to burn calories and help you lose weight. To do this you need to eat a balanced nutritionally dense diet while incorporating a well rounded fitness program. This is easy to do by following the prescribed fat loss plan below.
Effective weight loss program
Your diet should be simple. Eat five times a day and spread your meals out three hours apart. Instead of worrying about how many calories each food item has, focus on nutrition and balance. Each meal plan should have lean proteins and carbohydrates (simple or complex) and good fats.
Example of nutritionally dense superfoods include:
• Proteins - lean meats, fish, egg whites, soy protein

Lose Weight Fast – Don’t Its Unhealthy!
Losing more than a pound or two a week is not healthy. Fast weight loss is bad for two main reasons.
Lose weight fast and you will lose muscle
Firstly, if you lose weight quickly you lose muscle along with fat. This is bad when it comes to weight loss.
Muscle burns more calories than fat. The more muscle you have the more calories you burn and this applies to when you’re not doing anything strenuous. Losing muscle is therefore not a good idea.
Lose weight fast and you slow your metabolism
Secondly, if you lose weight too quickly your body will slow down your metabolism.
When we skip meals or crash diet, our body is programmed to think it's starving and slows down our metabolism to conserve energy.
What is conserved is our fat stores; our weight loss comes from water and muscle.
A Graphic example
For example, studies show that when dieting, the weight we lose is approximately 75 percent fat and 25 percent muscle.
In addition, a relatively high percentage of this weight loss is likely to be water.
Keep in mind, water accounts for about 70 percent of the total body weight of an average person, with muscle tissue containing approximately 75 percent water and body fat containing about 50 percent water.
Losing weight quickly is therefore very difficult as we are
simply losing water in the sort term.
The dangers of crash dieting
Crash dieting refers is a method in which we lose weight simply by restricting the number of calories consumed.
This method of losing weight fast is considered unhealthy, and it is rare that people who do it keep weight off.
They cannot adjust to these new unhealthy eating habits and then put the weight straight back on.
Your goal should be long term weight loss
Consider this, if you only lost a pound a week that would be 52 pounds a year and that is a lot of weight.
If you lose weight slowly you will remain healthy and also stand a good chance of keeping it off.
The maximum amount of body fat a healthy person can lose is about 1 or 2 pounds per week.
The human body is simply not designed to lose weight quickly and this is a healthy amount of weight loss to aim for.
Reasons why losing weight fast is difficult and unhealthy
Our bodies are programmed to help us survive in times of
starvation.
Our basic body reactions have been set since man first walked the earth and in those days food was not just a phone call, or short walk away.
In times gone by, famine was the biggest threat to mans survival and your body is programmed to protect you.
This is why it won't ever lose excessive amounts of fat in a short period of time; your body is programmed to conserve fat.
If you drastically reduce your calorie intake, you slow down your metabolism, in order to conserve calories, as we discussed earlier.
This is one reason why we encounter a weight loss quickly is, so difficult as your body actively fights to conserve weight, it’s a survival reflex.
Side Effects of Losing Weight quickly
In addition losing weight quickly has serious side affects that can harm us
Appearance of Loose Skin
If you shed weight too quickly, your skin does not have time to shrink to your new body dimensions.
The only effective treatment for this is to fix the lose skin with surgery.
Gallstones
Studies have shown that people who lose weight quickly, have a greater risk of developing gallstones.
Lack of energy and illness
Depending on the diet there are a host of other complications including lack of energy and nausea for those who cut out carbs and a general feeling of ill health and lack of energy as you deprive your body of food.
Lose weight slowly
Don’t be taken in by quick fix weight loss, its not possible aim for longer term weight loss.
You will lose weight, keep it off and feel both healthier and happier.

Weight Loss Enhancers
Given the fact that many of the weight loss treatments on the market have serious side effects that include even anemia, the best alternative people found was in natural remedies that bring a significant amount of quality vitamins to the body, while also accelerating metabolism. Some plants have a more rapid effect than others, creating the much wanted silhouette in a short period of time. This is the case of anti-adipose green tea that has a powerful laxative effect. However, rapid weight loss involves some other metabolic changes with an obvious impact on the general well-being.
Studies show that among weight loss enhancers, guarana is a very successful one. Native from the Amazon area, more precisely Brazil, guarana represents the primary matter for soft drinks and dietary supplements. Its main active principles are the linoleic acid, responsible for the accelerated fat burning in the cell, caffeine, resin and vegetable fiber. Besides the metabolic acceleration function, scientific research has also indicated memory improvement and anti-bacterial effects too. Approved by the FDA, guarana has no side effects, therefore it is perfectly safe to use.
Another weight loss enhancer that can be included in any regular diet is pineapple, a tropical fruit that improves digestion by breaking down protein. The main pineapple dietary effects come from the enzymes it contains, which are responsible for the improvement of the general function of the digestive system. If food is better processed, there are lower chances to store substances under the form of fat deposits. Pineapple can be used in weight loss programs either raw or in supplements; the canned variant is not useful since it lacks the active principles.
For anyone who wants to lose weight, fibers are an important part of the dietary plan. Little do people know that lots of the digestive problems such as constipation, increased toxin level and extra weight come from too little fiber intake in their meals. Organic food with lots of vegetables and fruit is the main source of fibers. Pharmaceutical companies are even manufacturing dietary supplements that contain a high amount of fibers, thus targeting people who want to lose several pounds without too much effort.

Weight Loss Story – The Weight Loss Program You Have to Know About!
Hi there, my name is Letisha, and I want to tell you about how I have lost 46 pounds in only two and a half months. I am a 36 year old married mother of three energetic children! Growing up I was always slim and athletic, and like many of us, after my first child, I just couldn't seem to shed the extra pounds. The same thing happened after my second son was born, and after a while I just 'let myself go', and slowly my weight crept up to a horrifying 280 pounds! I have just gone through five years of trying every diet out there, with not much success. I either got too hungry so I gave up too quickly, or had such a lack of energy, I would reach for the carbohydrate snacks which had made me pile on the pounds in the first place!
Two years ago I did join Weight Watchers, and I do believe that their diet is a safe, sensible and healthy diet, but I would notice that as I started to lose weight, my metabolism slowed down, as my body adjusted to fewer calories, and the weight loss really slowed down. With my metabolism working so slowly I found I had to eat less and less to carry on losing weight. This made me think, well if a healthy eating plan like Weight Watchers does not work with me, what can I do.
I hate to admit this but I again gave up that diet and as usual I reached for the unhealthy snacks and gained back the ten pounds I had lost. I really felt helpless, and wondered if I was the only one who this happened to, so I decided to attend a weight loss group in my area. This weight loss group was for anyone trying to lose weight, it did not advocate one diet or another. It was just for women or men to get together and share their weight loss stories. What I heard that day changed my life.
One person had found an incredible diet online a few months before the weight loss group started, and had shared their story with 6 others, who had decided to follow suit, try the diet and they had all lost between 30 and 60 pounds!! They told me to look online at Fatloss4idiots and to buy the book. Again I must admit I was rather skeptical, as nothing has worked for me in the past. To cut a long story short, I bought the book online as it was not expensive, and while I was reading, it was like a light bulb went off in my head!! Fatloss4idiots answered my question as to why after dieting for a short period of time, I would reach a plateau, and hardly lose more weight.
Fatloss4idiots creators found that when one diets, one's metabolism slows down, it adjusts to the intake of fewer calories, and with it slowing down, it will not burn fat. One has to 'trick' one's metabolism by shifting calories. This means that by eating more calories at one meal, and less calories at the next, and constantly changing how we eat, the metabolism has no time to adjust and becomes sluggish and slow. By shifting calories, it will stay in the 'fast' mode, therefore working hard to burn fat, resulting in huge weight losses. I just could not wait to start "my" new diet!!
The wonderful thing about Fatloss4idiots is that I enjoy it! One can eat more than three meals a day, and with my metabolism working overtime, the pounds are just dropping off. I never feel hungry, and I feel so full of vitality and life. As I said I have lost 46 pounds and I will stay on Fatloss4idiots until I have reached my goal weight. For the first time in my life I have found something which really works, and my weight loss is changing my life in ways I never thought possible. I have never written to a forum before but I am so confident in Fatloss4idiots I wanted to share my weight loss story with others! I know you will be as happy as I am with it.

Lose Weight Fast
I'm sure you've heard of crash diets like the cabbage soup diet and the grapefruit diet. The idea is that you eat nothing but these extremely low calorie (or "negative calorie") foods and your body will have no choice but to lose weight fast. In theory that makes some sense but there's some serious problems with this idea in practice.
The first big problem is that eating like this for even a short period of time is not good for your body at all. It also feels extremely unpleasant. You will likely feel incredibly hungry while on such a "diet."
While it's true that such a diet will likely make you lose some weight at first, your body will soon go into "starvation mode" and hold onto it's remaining fat with everything it's got. Not only will this make it harder to lose weight fast like you intend, it's also possible that it could make it easier for you to gain weight in the future! In other words you are probably doing a lot more damage than good with such a starvation diet scheme. They are a very bad idea.
That doesn't mean you can't lose weight really fast, you just have to do it intelligently. For example you can lose weight very quickly with The Day Off Diet without putting your body into starvation mode and you can actually enjoy what you eat. Of course a real diet like this is not only good for losing weight fast, it's also good for long term weight loss and that's always the case, because any diet that's not good for you long term shouldn't be one you choose to "lose weight fast" either!
It's OK to want to lose weight quickly, just make sure you do it intelligently. Don't go for a starvation diet like the cabbage soup diet or eating nothing but celery, instead go for a diet that really makes sense like The Day Off Diet which uses an easy to follow 6 day diet plan that requires a "day off" every 7th day. On the day off you eat whatever you want. This is integral to the plan as it is helpful in keeping your metabolism boosted.

Weight Loss Programs – Do Any of Them Work?
The number of weight loss programs on the market today is huge, everything from fad diets and celebrity endorsed programs to the latest pills and diet shakes. All of us are aware that it's possible to lose weight by taking regular exercise and eating a healthy diet, but are there better or quicker ways? Can a weight loss program really be a shortcut to getting slimmer without having to exercise and change what you eat? In this article we will look at the options.
Dieting takes many forms, but most people at some point attempt to lose weight by going on a diet of one type or another. A diet can involve simply changing your diet slightly so that you eat more healthy foods and less fattening ones, or at the other extreme a diet can involve following "crash" diet programs or celebrity endorsed plans which commonly concentrate on eating just one food for a period of time, or special shakes or ingredients. Unfortunately crash and fad diets are not sustainable for any length of time, and so will fail in the end. Some people can lose weight for a short period if they restrict their diet in this way, but it is unhealthy long term and no-one ever sticks to such a plan, so any weight lost is put back on quickly.
Another form of weight loss program involves taking diet pills and medications. There are now many companies selling so-called miracle pills or supplements, all claiming that their products will allow people to lose weight without making changes to their diet or exercising more. This type of product tends to fall into two categories, those which contain drugs which increase the consumption of calories in the body, and those which are ineffective and have no real benefit. Even those products which do contain active weight loss drugs should not be used simply to help healthy people lose weight, they are designed to be used only in situations where a doctor has decided a patient cannot achieve weight loss in any other way, and are meant to be used as a last resort. There are numerous known side effects and health dangers associated with such drugs, and this is why only those who are dangerously obese should be prescribed weight loss drugs by qualified medical professionals.
In summary, the current fad for miracle diet pills and crash diets simply do not help people lose weight in the long term. Many of them do not work in the first place, some can actually be unhealthy and potentially dangerous, and those which do work are not sustainable over a long period of time.
There are however real weight loss programs which do work, and do help people lose weight sensibly, and often quite quickly. Such programs do however require some effort, adopting a reasonable exercise regime, and making some changes to diet and what foods are eaten. Sadly sensible programs like this are less popular than the "miracle" pills or crash diets because they do not claim miracle results, or that no effort is required, but the fact is they do work. People certainly will lose weight if they can find a sensible achievable weight loss program and stick to it for a period of time. And contrary to popular belief, to lose weight you do not have to start running for miles every day or eating unpleasant foods, the key is a professionally designed weight loss program which brings results over a period of time.

Rapid Weight Loss Diets That Work – Strip That Fat Review
Strip That Fat is a program that does not focus on the 'overnight' weight loss approach, which can be unhealthy and will have negative long-term effects on the body. This program suggests that a change in diet is the best way to lose the weight. They do not endorse the methods that are popular today in losing weight, which includes the starvation diet and the no carb diet. This program knows that these approaches do not result in weight loss. That is why they offer a plan to adjust the diet in order to achieve the best results for their clients.
Adjusting the diet is the most important aspect of losing weight. This program offers a "Diet Generator" tool that will set up a menu for their client's that will work best for them. People who use the Strip That Fat program do not necessarily have to give up their favorite foods, they simply have to regulate what they eat and how often they eat. This program knows that people cannot simply stop eating fatty foods, however the frequency of eating these foods can be altered so that a person does not consume more fat than can be burned off.
Strip That Fat also emphasizes on the importance of exercise. They offer exercise techniques in their program that will increase metabolism and increase the rate at which fat is burned. They will create individual programs for their clients that will best work for their unique situations. The most important part of losing weight is burning off the fat that is in the body by engaging in specific exercises that will aid in accelerated weight loss. Many people who have used this program have claimed that it has helped them reach their weight-loss goals. Many people have given the program positive feedback because of it's effectiveness.
This program does not force the client to starve themselves. The menu that is generated for their clients does not consist of a few choices of bland food. Instead, the menu allows clients to continue to eat the food they like, only in regulated amounts. This has been an effective weight loss approach that has helped many clients shed unwanted pounds. This program emphasizes exercises that will compliment the diet plan in order to increase metabolism, resulting in fat being burned off instead of building up. This approach is a healthy way to loose fat and it does not have their clients engage in unhealthy programs.
Many people have said that Strip That Fat has helped them lose the weight that has become a burden in their life. This program is recommended for anyone who wants to lose weight without compromising their health. Programs that claim to have people lose the weight overnight are generally unsuccessful because losing a massive amount of weight in a short period of time is unhealthy. This program does not claim to work overnight, but it will provide long-term results that will help clients lose the weight and to keep it off in the future.
