Have you ever asked yourself the question "how do I lose weight fast"?

Here we examine are 3 tried and tested methods and weigh up their advantages and disadvantages.

So here are 3 methods that help you lose weight fast

!. Don't eat at all - as in starving yourself! This is obviously not a recommended course of action. There are many reasons why apart from the obvious, but the main reason why this is not a great idea, is that much of the weight that you will indeed lose fast, comes from your muscles, and water in your system.

But does this also result in fat loss?

Yes some fat will be lost, but the impact on your metabolism is such that it outstrips any benefit that might come out of starving yourself as a way of losing weight fast. The loss of muscle will actually ensure that you put back all the weight you lost and then some. In summary, this is definitely not a way to lose weight fast or even slowly. Just plain avoid it!

2. Steady-State-Cardio - a lot of dieters needing to lose weight fast will try this and begin doing so way too quickly, trying to walk or run long distances each and every day. Where this dieting strategy falls is that most people tendons, ligaments and muscles in general cannot survive this continuous level of stress that an athlete may be used to. This method to shed weight is one that, though popular, is also one where there are more failures and leaves a person more deflated (but not thinner) than before.

Other factors you need to consider with steady-stat cardio is that you will not have what is called the after-burn effect. The metabolic benefits of steady state cardio at a low intensity vanish relatively quickly after the workout is over. It can also have the effect of starving yourself because burning too many calories has the effect of burning down muscle rather than fat.

So how would I lose weight fast?

3. The answer has to be Circuit Training. This is by far teh best way to go as you do get the after burn effect and as it gives you a higher rate of metabolism, your diet can be more relaxed.

If you have never done circuit training here is how this way of losing weight works. Basically you do high tempo exercise, followed by slow tempo in short bursts, until you are really starting to work up a sweat. The best reason why you should take it up is that is not a form of exercise that takes too much time to do, typically 10-20 minutes and does not require you to use any kind of equipment.

And here you have it doing circuit training is by far what you should consider as part of your strategies to lose weight fast.

James,

Great recommendation on Tom's e-book. Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle is certainly one of the best e-book values around. It is a great product.
