Everyone is looking for the quickest way to lose weight. There are all kinds of stories about people losing a bunch of weight using some crazy diet. We all know that most of these don’t work as advertised. These are better known as fad diets. They come and go very quickly without any sustainability because they simply do not work. These are the types of diets that I tell people to avoid.

One of the main reasons these diets do not work is that they promote methods that are actually counter productive for your weight loss. Things like low carb, or low calorie, or low fat, are really hurting your long term efforts. Your metabolism is actually being slowed down by most of these diets. Your metabolism is very important because this is what causes you to burn fat. You are making it less effective when you deprive it of food, or fuel. These diets are not the quickest way to lose weight.

There is only one type of diet that I have seen that goes against these fads. This is what is called a calorie shifting diet.’ What that means in a nutshell is that you are pushing your metabolism to peak performance so that you are burning the maximum amount of fat possible.

This is not done by starving yourself. Actually it is the opposite. This diet uses a combination of eating the right foods, and exercising. You actually get to eat more than usual on these diets. This is because as you exercise your bodies metabolic rate increases which causes you to need more food. This may seem a little counter intuitive but it works. This the quickest way to lose weight that I have seen.

What you are not doing is trying to trick you body. You are providing what it needs, and in turn you body responds and you begin to drop weight quickly. There is one particular diet that has really worked well for me. I almost lost 6 pounds in my first week!
