If you are looking for the fastest way to lose weight, you have come to the right place.  However, I’m not going to just tell you how to lose weight… Nope.  I am going to tell you about the fastest way to lose weight AND keep it off.

If you’ve read some of my other posts, you probably already know that I used to be over weight.  I mean REALLY overweight.  I used to carry a little over 100 EXTRA POUNDS OF FAT on my petite frame.  It came from years of:

Eating the wrong foods (mainly junk food and sweets)

Eating TOO much (because I enjoy the feeling of a full stomach)

Lack of ANY type of exercise

3 pregnancies (each about 3 years apart)

The stress of raising 3 children (part of that time I raised them alone)

But, after being severely overweight for about 10 years, I finally “got it” and started changing the way that I lived.  Granted, it didn’t happen all at once.  In fact, I lost about 20 pounds swapping out some of my bad foods with healthier choices.  Then I lost a few more pounds by reducing the amount that I would regularly eat.  Then, I had a relapse and gained it all back.  After a few months, I would start the cycle all over again.

There were also several times when I thought that I had found the fastest way to lose weight in the form of some fad diet, pill, or expensive home exercise machine… but, none that ever worked.  Fad diets are just that – Fads.  Pills are expensive and are never designed to work without changing your other bad habits.  And machines are great if you use them, but I was never motivated enough to even try for more than a week or two.

It wasn’t until I broke my ADDICTION to food that I truly discovered the fastest way to lose weight and keep it off.

You see.  An addiction to food can be just as powerful as cigarettes, alcohol or any of the powerful street drugs available today.  Food (especially fatty foods or sweets) can cause the brain to release a surge of dopamine that can make you feel happy and content.  It’s part of the same chemical cocktail that is released when you fall in love, and who doesn’t enjoy the feeling of being in love?

Personally, I used food as a emotional pain-killer, and relaxation drug.  I mean, after a stressful day of working in an office where you are constantly looked at as a freak for being overweight, combined with taking care of 3 children when I got home, why shouldn’t I be allowed to feel good by stuffing myself with a big dinner and a bowl of ice cream before I fall asleep on the couch at night?

But, I digress…

My addiction to food was holding me back.  As I said before, it wasn’t until I learned to break my addiction to food that I FINALLY discovered the fastest way to lose weight and actually KEEP it off for good.  It was that experience that led me to lose over 100 pounds and then write the, now famous, report titled Lose 10 Pounds In 3 Days.

So, without further ado, here is the fastest way to lose weight and keep it off:

• Step 1: Download, read and follow the Lose 10 Pounds In 3 Days Report.  It will help you break your addiction to food, in addition to helping you lose 10 or more pounds in 72 hours.
• Step 2: Use your current motivation (trust me… you will be very motivated after you’ve suddenly lost 10+ pounds) to eat less.  Your stomach will be a bit smaller after following the Lose 10 Pounds In 3 Days Plan, so use that to your advantage.
• Step 3: Replace the bad foods in your life with healthier ones.  For example, instead of regular soda, drink diet soda.  Instead of ice cream, have a fruit smoothie with splenda sweetener or a protein shake.
• Step 4: Add exercise to your daily routine.  Daily walks are a great start.  The more you walk, the more weight you will lose.  Believe me, if I can exercise with 3 kids YOU can definitely exercise.  If you have kids, take them on “family walks”.  If you have a baby, carry them with you or buy a baby backpack.
• Step 5: Add resistance training to your regimen.  If you can afford to join a gym, join one.  If you can afford to hire a personal trainer for a few hours per week, do it.  If you are on a strict budget, use old milk jugs filled with water for weights and use them in the living room.  If you don’t know how to do the basic exercises for resistance training, search YouTube for some good instructional videos of proper resistance training techniques.

Well, there you go.  That is the fastest way to lose weight that I know of.  That’s what took me from weighing over 225 pounds, down to 120 pounds in less than 1 year.  You should have seen the look on my family’s faces at that next family reunion held out of state.  When I showed up looking lean and trim, I’m sure that some of them thought that I had resorted to surgery.  Some of them asked how I did it, some of them didn’t.  But, I didn’t care.  I didn’t do it for them… I did it for me.

You can follow the same plan that I did.  It may look daunting right now, because you are probably addicted to food, and unmotivated after seeing no results from your previous dieting attempts.  So, it all starts with downloading the Lose 10 Pounds In 3 Days Report.  After you’ve lost 10+ pounds in 72 hours, your attitude will certainly be better.  When you are 10 to 12 pounds lighter, come back and read this post again and tell me how you feel then.
