The Fastest Way to Lose Weight

Looking for the fastest way to lose weight? Well, other than surgical solutions such as liposuction, the quickest way to reduce body fat involves a combination of healthy fasting, super-clean eating, and frequent, intense exercise. Below you'll find a quick overview of the best techniques for losing weight in the fastest, healthiest way possible...


1. Do a short "lemon water" fast.

Fasting is a proven way to help detoxify the body and speed up weight loss at the same time. One of the simplest -- yet most effective -- fasts involves drinking only pure water with fresh lemon or lime juice squeezed into it throughout the day. Do this for 1 or 2 days and you'll lose a few pounds quickly while helping to refresh and re-energize your body.


2. Follow a "raw" diet for a few days.

Raw diets have become very popular for many reasons. A big reason is that raw dieting is one of the fastest ways to lose weight safely. A simple form of the raw diet involves eating only raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. If you can afford it, choose organic versions. You may want to boost your protein intake with whey protein powder mixed into water or fresh, raw fruit juice.

Try eating raw for 2 or 3 days, to get started. You could very well lose several pounds and feel very energized!


3. Follow a "caveman diet" eating plan.

Eating like a caveman can help you reduce your weight in a fast, healthy manner. It's a great quick weight loss solution that you can also stick with to improve your long-term health. The simplest form of "caveman eating" -- also called a "paleo diet" -- involves eating only lean meats, fish, raw and lightly cooked veggies, raw fruits, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats from raw avocado, virgin olive oil, etc. Some people also include small amounts of starches in this diet, mainly from tubers (such as sweet potatoes/yams) and beans/legumes.

Try sticking to a caveman diet for a few weeks. You'll almost definitely lose weight quickly and feel better as well.


4. Do short, high-intensity workouts often.

Frequent, efficient exercise is definitely one of the fastest ways to lose weight. One of the best forms of exercise for rapid fat loss is high-intensity interval training... aka HIIT. This involves doing short bursts of high-intensity activity (e.g. sprinting) followed by brief periods of active recovery, such as jogging or fast walking.

Another super-effective fat burning exercise method is to perform short workouts that involve both medium-intensity strength training (e.g. weight lifting) with intense cardio exercise. For example, you might do 15 minutes of strength exercises involving a few basic "compound" exercises -- such as pullups, bench presses, and lunges -- followed by 10 minutes of running, biking, or HIIT exercise.

These high-intensity techniques can strip the fat off your body within weeks. Plus, since they help to maintain lean muscle tissue (and a fast metabolism), they can help you build the lean, toned, sexy body of a fitness model faster than just about any other method!

Long fasts - for a period that exceeds seven days - should only be done under supervision in a medical institution. At home, you can safely go on a seven-day fast provided you are mentally prepared and have had an initial consultation with a naturopath or doctor who can guide you properly.


You should not allow children to fast. Do not fast if you are pregnant or suffer from any of the following:
-diabetes
-heart disease
-epilepsy
-anaemia
-very low blood pressure (below 50 diastolic)
-kidney failure
-osteoporosis
-gout (the pain increases with fasting)
-stomach ulcers.
