Yes – there are easy ways to lose weight IF you stick with the program and can maintain it over a long period of time (months to years depending on your situation)

No – without the right mindset and a realistic weight loss plan and goal you will likely fail at any program that you attempt  (We have t-shirts…).

Some of the fad diets and programs that you may have heard about in the past few years include:

Abs Diet
Acai Berry Diet
Apple Cider Vinegar Diet
Banana Diet
Bread for Life Diet
Cabbage Soup Diet (pure misery…)
Cholesterol Lowering Diet
Dr Amanda’s Don’t Go Hungry Diet
Food Doctor Diet
Gotti Diet
Hilton Head Metabolism Diet
Hot Latin Diet
Mayo Clinic Diet
Raw Food Diet
Zone Diet

The above are just a few of the fad diets talked about recently. Some may work, most don’t. If they do work it is a short term solution that is not sustainable and leads to rapid weight gain once again.

To be completely real here, it would probably more correct to say that losing weight is fairly simple in concept but far from easy when it comes to carrying it out.  We have been cultured in our society to look for the easy way of doing things and so we have also “been sold” on easy ways to lose weight.

There is, however, a  promising and simple technique that has been developed by someone after many years of study and testing.  It is a program that involves short, 24 hour intermittent fasting periods (yeah, I know…I laughed too when I first heard of it) and my own results have been pretty cool so far, not to mention the positive testimonials from so many other people who had all but given up on long term weight loss thanks to the unsustainable fad diets tried in the past.

Undertaking 24 hour intermittent fasting has many surprising and healthy benefits including:

- It decreases your blood insulin (fat storing hormone) levels. This is a major health benefit.
- Your glucagon (fat burning hormone) levels increase: that means your body relies more on your fat as a source of fuel.
- Does not slow down your metabolic rate, yeah, you heard me right.
- An increase in blood flow
- Increases growth hormone levels; a major benefit
- Increases the fat burning hormones noradrenaline
- Cortisol does not increase so you know your muscles are not being broken down

Intermittent fasting is an excellent way to lose weight and if you are in search of “easy ways to lose weight“, then this may be something you want to investigate further if you can handle the simple truth about weight loss.

All the best to ya,
