How To Lose Weight Fast - Let Your Body Do the Work for You

There have been many theories as to the best and fastest way to lose weight. One of the quickest ways to lose weight is to cut down on the use of dietary carbohydrates for energy and to start burning your own body fat instead. Once you cut down on carbohydrates but keep protein intake up, your body will have no choice but to break down and burn body fat for the fuel it needs.

This happens when your fat cells begin breaking down and fatty acids get released into the bloodstream to be used for energy.

It is incredible how fast you burn fat once you restrict carbohydrates from your diet (while maintaining high protein levels). The fact is that your body needs fuel to function all day long... it needs fuel to move, to think, to breathe... it needs fuel for everything you do.

With this in mind, losing weight by forcing the body to burn fat for its energy needs is a matter of strategic eating

If you can trick your body into thinking that you are on a fast, it will enter a 24/7 fat-burning "starvation" mode. However you will continue to consume the appropriate amount of protein that your body needs so that lean body mass is spared.

Bear in mind also that digesting protein also requires a lot of energy. And where do you think your body will acquire that energy now that you have reduced carbohydrates and fat intake? It's from the stored fat that currently resides in your body

Now don't worry about reducing your carbohydrate intake. The truth is carbohydrates are not essential to the human body. What we need is protein and fat. In fact, we could eat nothing but carbohydrates and still die of starvation if we did not have fat and protein.

Now in terms of fat intake, you want to try and limit this to EFAs (essential fatty acids). This is so that the body will burn stored fat rather than dietary fat that we usually get from all our regular fatty foods. Your body can use fat whether it is from your diet or from the fat stored on your thighs and belly. Do you see the point?

Because you are reducing carbohydrates and fat but increasing protein, you must resist the urge to skip meals. Your body does not store protein like it does with fat and carbohydrates.

Eating very often will prevent your body from consuming lean body mass when it needs protein because of a skipped meal. Frequent meals also help to control cravings.

And this is why it is important to eat strategically and let your body do the work for you.
