3 Keys to Losing Weight Incredibly Fast

Want to lose weight faster than you ever thought possible? Keep these 3 key points in mind and you'll achieve incredibly fast fitness and fat loss results...

1. Figure out your triggers. Everyone has certain "triggers" that cause them to do things that slow or even stop the weight loss process. They eat fattening foods. They don't workout. They get less than 7 hours of sleep. They lose motivation. For example, many people eat very well when at home. But in restaurants they lose self-control and end up pigging out on high-calorie, unhealthy foods.

For these people, being in a restaurant is a trigger. Spend at least a week or so figuring out which triggers affect you most. Then make a focused effort to either avoid those triggers or do as much as possible to keep them from affecting you so much.


2. Develop habits quickly. Developing good habits quickly is a "must" when it comes to fast, healthy weight loss. Fortunately, research has shown that a good habit can be developed in as little as 21 days. This means that if you can just force yourself to eat well, avoid processed foods, and exercise for 21 days in a row these healthy actions can become normal habits.

Once something becomes a positive habit, it becomes pleasurable. That means you'll actually look forward to doing it!


3. Use the power of the mind. Your brain is your most important weight loss tool. If you can control your thoughts and motivate yourself at the drop of a hat, you can do pretty much anything! Here are the proven steps to programming your mind to help you lose weight fast:

- Set a goal: pounds lost; a fit, lean body; better condition; etc.

- Create a vivid mental movie of yourself with your ideal body, looking and feeling great while doing something you enjoy.

- Spend a few minutes each day visualizing success. Imagine that you've already achieved your weight loss and fitness goals and try to actually "feel" the amazing pleasure you'll have. Visualize several times throughout the day.

- Give your mental movie positive energy. When visualizing your ideal body, think about it in a very positive way. Every time you visualize, try getting more and more pleasure from it. After just a few days of this routine, visualizing should become so pleasurable that you want to do it constantly.

- Do it constantly. The more you think about enjoying your ideal body, the more your actions will move you in the right direction, and the faster you'll actually get that ideal body.

I know, all this sounds a little far-fetched. But it is absolutely proven to work. Give it a try. You have nothing to lose but your ugly body fat!
