No Carb Diets - Why You Should Rule Them Out

No carb diets have been a popular method for losing weight in the past, but don't let them fool you. They usually don't work very well. Sure, you can lose weight at first, but it probably won't last long. Why? Because no carb diets are very strict and hard to follow. Also, when you don't eat any carbohydrates you will get very lethargic and your energy will go right out the window.

You know how you hear that athletes training for marathons and special events load up on carbohydrates the night before a big event. Do you know why? Because it gives them tons of energy. No carb diets won't do much for you, except leave you feeling drained.

Just think of all the foods you can't eat when you follow no carb diets - potatoes, pasta, many cereals and breads. I don't know about you, but I have to have my potatoes and pasta occasionally. I think using a diet that has the right balance of all types of foods works best. Just remember, you DON'T have to spend money on special foods and diet meals to lose weight! Those kinds of foods are more expensive than regular choices, and they won't help you in your weight loss efforts any more than regular foods do.

A Low Calorie Diet Plan - Why You DON'T Need One!

Are you looking for a low calorie diet plan? It seems that everyone is looking for low calorie, low carb, low fat, etc. The truth is, you don't have to count anything in order to lose weight very quick. Why do people put themselves through so much suffering when it is totally unnecessary?

For years, people have gone on diets that were restricted to 1000, 1200 or 1500 calories. This has always been the norm, but that doesn't mean it works! Of course you do lose weight, but once you start adding some foods back to your diet the weight comes back. Forget the words "low calorie diet plan" - it doesn't matter!

What DOES matter is the kinds of foods you eat. Do you eat fat burning foods? These foods burn fat and calories without having to go on strict and difficult diets that usually leave you hungry. Fat burning foods increase metabolism, and in turn your body uses fat and calories much faster than normal.

Still looking for that magic low calorie diet plan? STOP - do the smart thing, eat fat burning foods.

Can You Lose Weight in One Week?

Many people have an event coming up or something special and really want to lose weight fast. I don't know how many times I've heard people say "How can I lose weight in one week?". Most people think it isn't possible, short of fasting or starving yourself to death. This is totally wrong.

I can tell you from experience that the real secret is eating MORE often, and eating real foods. It's just that you combine your foods in a way that increases fat and calorie burn. Without calories, your metabolism will stop. When that happens, you may as well forget it - you won't lose any weight!

You really can lose weight in a week. In reality, you can lose 3 or 4 pounds per week easily, without using diet pills or special diet meals. Eating smart and learning about fat burning foods is the key to successful weight loss.

The best plan available for quick and healthy weight loss is the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program. I have never seen a diet that worked as well as this one does, and there is even an online meal planner to help you with meals. It's simple, it's healthy, and it works. If you have tried everything else and need to lose weight in one week, try this plan. You won't be disappointed.
