Quick Weight Loss

Through diet and exercise, quick weight loss with lasting results can be achieved easily.

What happens in a quick weight loss diet?

Can you lose weight fast and keep it off?

Lots of those beauty salon treatments that promise instant weight loss get rid of the water, not the fat. You seem to have shed off kilos so quickly. That weight returns just quickly after a couple of meals or when you replenish the water loss.

Typical cases would be the fasting diets or 1 day juice only fast. You might lose inches in that day for that special event but the results are temporary.

Even some of the diets that can cause you to lose weight dramatically make you lose water and muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat and burns more calories than fat. When you lose muscle, you seem to lose weight since muscle is heavy, though leaner than fat. You get flabby and gain weight more easily as your body burns fewer calories. To make matters worse, you'd trick your body into thinking it is starving which lowers your metabolic rate in order to conserve calories. That means, your body would hold tighter than ever to the fat it still has.

Instead, you should aim for the reverse. Build lean muscle while you burn away the fat. One great example is to go for a sensible diet rich in protein while doing intensive toning workouts that build lean muscle.

Here's a weight loss program that does just that. Billy’s BootCamp! Blast into shape in 7 Days!

It actually dares guarantee results in 7 days.

I tried that yesterday. Didn't even do the diet part of it. For that, I need to do some grocery shopping first. I just did the Billy Blanks Boot Camp Elite mission one, getting started workout first. It was just a thirty minute workout that was really fun. Full of punches and kicks that help relieve stress too. Husband said I look great after that. I felt great though. Must be the endorphins you get from a workout like that. You know, the runner's high.

This morning, he dragged me out of bed half asleep, put in the DVD for me to work out with Billy Blanks again. I protested because the program says to work out on alternate days. I was aching from yesterday's workout again. My arms and waist (sides especially ached.) In the end I was jumping in front of the television again. Measured my flabby waist (ok, jelly belly, rubber tire etc), and found that my waist went down by almost half an inch in 2 days. I'm still aching all over.

Verdict: I think the Billy's BootCamp Elite claim made about results in 7 days is for real. I saw inch loss in 2 days which is more important than weight loss that could be due to water loss or loss of muscle tissue.
