What's the fastest way to lose weight?

The fastest way to lose weight would not matter anymore if you gain back the weight equally quickly. As anyone decide to lose weight, they must also be determined enough not to gain back those unwanted pounds.

Many a times, we get motivated by the models in the advertisements or success stories of special diets. We have also heard it all the fanciful names of diet (from Atkin to Zone to South Beach diet) and strenuous exercise regimes which does not give you the motivation to persist.

Let us discuss our next weight loss program in three important areas to give us a sure-win, fastest yet effective and lasting way to get rid of those fats.

(I) It's a Mind Game

Above all else, you need to prepare your mind for this weight loss exercise. Draw up a weekly schedule titled "My Goals and Achievements" and have it pasted on the wall where you can see it the minute you wake up in the morning and the minute before you sleep at night. Have motivational statement on it that says "I want to lose { } pounds of weight before {date}. I should only weigh { } pounds on {date}" printed in bold and in red.

On the weekly schedule, you should have two boxes for each week; one representing your goal and the other your achievements. The "Goal" box should all be completed with black ink at the beginning of this exercise, with targets set for the next few weeks that follows. Please be mindful here to fill in achievable and realistic targets. We all know it is impossible to lose hundreds of pounds overnight not to mention unhealthy! Remember, we want those pounds to stay away for good not just hide for a few days.

The "Achievement" box should be recorded as the weeks go by. Fix a day to record eg. every Wednesday of the week. For every target achieve, record your achievement box in green. If you fail, record your "non-achievement" in red. This serves as a reminder that you need to work doubly hard in the coming week.

Every night before you sleep and every morning when you wake up, you should look at those numbers and read your motivational statement three times aloud. The louder you read them, the more you will convince you mind, body and soul that you want to and can achieve those targets.

(II) Rubbish in, Rubbish Out

Believe it or not, what you eat is reflected on your appearance, skin, body odour, and not to mention they show up on your weighing scales. There are two traditional Chinese sayings which are important not just in weight losing but staying healthy
