It was going through this process that sparked my renewed interest in the health and fitness community and snow balled into me being much more passionate about all this. If you’re looking to lose weight quickly, there are three things you need to optimize or focus on: Your diet – what you eat and drink. Your exercise – timing and duration of specific exercises. Supplementation – speeding up the process with the help of safe drugs. I really think that the best way to lose weight is by optimizing your diet. More specific it’s to manage your blood sugar levels and eat for your specific metabolism. Women, click here to see the program that’s specific for the female metabolism (this is how our mom lose her weight. Men, click here to check out the customized fat loss program for guys. I lost my weight by only optimizing my diet. I changed what I ate dramatically and literally melted the weight off. I remember waking up on the fourth day after starting this in complete amazement by the fact that my fingers felt skinny. I’m not sure if it was the amount of salt I ate or what, but my fingers and hands have felt fat for the last year – this alone was enough to keep me going. For the sake of this overview, I will not go into any detail on supplements (as I have yet to learn much about them), and will only briefly touch on exercising. Instead, I’ll focus on optimizing diet for rapid weight loss. So how did I lose this weight so quickly? I kept my blood sugar from spiking by following a fat loss program built for me. It was quite similar to the slow carb diet. The methods I used were from the advice I found from a variety of locations, surrounding foods and how diet alone can make for some amazing weight loss. You can get the program we used for this right here: women click here – and – men click here. Not going into details of the diet (you can read that yourself). These were the key changes I made that I know helped with the rapid weight loss. I ate a big, high- protein breakfast. I love my breakfasts. It’s crazy to think that I could lose 1. It’s great though because in the evening when I sometimes get cravings, I will just remind myself how awesome breakfast is going to be. I included a picture to the right of a typical breakfast that I will eat. It’s three fried eggs, 4- 6 pieces of bacon, and fried mushrooms, onions, and beans. Delicious. Lets be honest, there were mornings that I just didn’t have it in me to make this. For those mornings I would fall back to just 2- 3 hardboiled eggs, or a single hardboiled egg and a protein shake made with water + whey protein isolate. Since I work from home, I can typically take the time to make a big breakfast, but probably 1/6 days I would have to fall back to the quick breakfast. Remove most dairy products. This wasn’t a huge issue for me. I haven’t drank much milk since junior high, and although I do enjoy cheese on almost everything it was easy enough to give up. Luckily, I could still use butter to cook with, and if you are like the many people that love cream in their coffee – this is okay as well as long as it’s heavy cream and not milk. Cheese is a big part of my cheat days as I explain below. Water, Coffee, or Tea. This was one of the biggest challenges for me. That said it is crazy how fast you can lose weight quickly if you simply cut out drinking unnecessary calories. Admittedly, I’ve historically enjoyed a beer or two over dinner at home – and even more than one or two if out with some friends. Although I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a beer a night, or a glass of wine a night, I know the former is not great for losing weight. If all you have is two weeks to lose weight, you’re going to have to be very strict with this rule. Luckily you can still drink any water- based drink such as coffee and tea, so it’s not all bad. I usually have a huge glass of ice cold water plus one or two large cups of coffee in the morning to kick start my day. I often use cinnamon to flavour my coffee – it’s a great tip for those of you that really enjoyed adding milk. No white carbohydrates. In fact, anything that is white or can be white. So no pastas, no rice, no breads, no oatmeal, no potatoes, etc. However, I still ate a ton of carbohydrates. I just ate better high- fiber carbs such as black beans, kidney beans, and lentils. The latter I didn’t really enjoy, so most of my meals were made up of beans. The picture to the left is an example of what I would eat for supper. This night I had a spread of black beans, cooked frozen veggies, and sliced ham. I basically substituted the ham for any other meat – chicken, beef, or pork mostly – and alternated between black and kidney beans. Note – if you find your food getting bland, try using mustard and pepper. For lunch, I’ll often take 1/2- 1 can of tuna, 1- 2 cups of frozen veggies, and a big scoop of bean, cook in the microwave, add a couple squeezes of mustard and pepper and shake. Moderate 2. 0 minute weight resistance twice per week. When I was reading the Four Hour Body, it really got me interested in how the body works and how it deals with exercise, food, etc. This is one thing that I think really helped me – especially during my cheat days. I will do a light to moderate 2. Bicep curl x 1. 5Air squats x 5. Military shoulder press x 1. Wide arm pushups x 2. Against- the- wall tricep extensions. As many close- grip pull ups as possible. Calf raises x 3. 0The goal of the workout was to promote food storage to muscle instead of fat – this is especially important during your cheat days. During my cheat day I will look to do the air squats + tricep extensions even if I’m eating out. I didn’t go to the gym at all for this, instead I just took a couple old 2. If you don’t have a pull up bar don’t buy one, simply exchange the exercise for a back row or seated back fly exercise. I also don’t own a weight bench so no need to spend your money on that. What I’ve learned since losing even more weight is that these workouts are pretty important if you want to lose weight fast. They aren’t necessary but they certainly do help shed some extra pounds by keeping the fat off, especially on your cheat day. I gave myself one cheat day. I say one cheat day, because I wanted to illustrate the fact that this diet can be used for people wanting to know how to lose weight in 2 weeks. If you are only using this as a fast way to lose weight, then you’ll only want to indulge in one cheat day during your two- week period. However, I now give myself every Saturday as a cheat day. I believe that this cheat day is important for a number of reasons. Firstly, the science behind it suggests that if you go for too long on a limited- calorie diet (which this isn’t, however I noticed that it took me much, much less food to fill me up when I ate well, so you tend to naturally eat less on this diet) that your metabolism will shift to a lower gear in order to compromise for the lower intake of calories. By cheating one day and spiking the number of calories you consume, it will keep your metabolism from doing this – and allow you to maintain your high metabolic rate throughout the week. Personally, I find the cheat day important because it gives you something to look forward to. This diet is a huge change from most Westerners’ lifestyles. With the diet comes a lot of cravings, especially in the beginning. I would make a little note of anything that I was craving and made sure I went out and bought it Saturday morning. For example, this is what my first cheat day looked like: Breakfast – bacon and eggs with hash- browns, toast, a ton of ketchup, and a fruit smoothie. Snack – Full bag of All Dressed potato chips and a large bag of sugar candy (Cherry Blasters)Lunch – Entire box of extra cheesy Kraft Dinner. Snack – 2 large Caramilk chocolate bars. Supper (and evening snack) – 1/2 large poutine, a few garlic fingers and 7 slices of a 1. I lost 3. 0lbs over 5 months eating 1 meal in the evening. This is my experience. I’ve written this for those who have heard about eating one meal a day and want to seek out the experience of someone doing it. If you decide to do something similar it’s my hope that you can benefit from my experience. I write this as if a friend had asked me to describe the diet. Be advised: The effectiveness of diets vary from person to person and I cannot guarantee that taking this approach will work for you. Please see my disclaimer at the foot of this post. UPDATE Aug 2. 01. After you’ve finished reading this article you should head over to my other site called 1 Mad Diet– I can answer any questions you have over there. When it comes to this site Hubbys Home, it turns out I’m possibly the world’s worst blogger and I don’t tend to respond to the comments here. I do feel bad about that, because when people take the time to reach out, it’s a bit of a slap in the face to get ignored. I’m sorry about that and I’ll try to make amends, but in the meantime come on over to 1. MADdiet. com and we can talk there. Thanks. Please continue reading. I was spending a lot of time reading about dieting and weight loss – getting into the minute detail – listening to people who insisted that you had to cut out certain types of food and eat specific foods, in specific ratios, at specific times. It was good for a while and I made some progress but it wasn’t sustainable for me with everything else that was going on in my life. I spent more time researching the best way to lose weight than I invested in actually doing something about it. I had a full time career and when I wasn’t working I was looking after the children while my wife worked. I was exhausted, I hated the 6 small meals diet because I never felt full – I got injured running – and I quit, regaining the weight soon after. It doesn’t have to be this way. For a long time I suspected that it was possible to lose weight eating a normal balanced(ish) diet. I called it the sub- optimal diet because it involves eating things that traditional diet wisdom says you shouldn’t eat. I’m talking about normal foods that families eat for lunch and dinner. The staples – bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy, and all the rest. The sorts of things an army officer, like the General, might get served up in the mess tent. Ordinary, regular food served up in decent portions that fills your belly and keeps you feeling satisfied for hours afterwards. But I’m also talking about the good stuff (IN MODERATION!!), like cake, chocolate, sweets, candies, pastries and other things that normal people eat – what would life be like without these delights? Life is already complicated enough, so make it simple. I’ve always believed that for most people there’s no need to weigh and measure food. No need to get the supposed optimal balance between protein, carbohydrate and fat. Following a balanced diet as outlined by the NHS is good enough. Sure, if you’re going for Olympic gold, then get freaky about your diet, but for the majority of people looking to lose a bit of weight in order to feel better about themselves and extend their lifespan, there’s no need to have a finely tuned and detailed diet plan. Similarly, I’ve always believed that there’s no need to kill yourself exercising. Exercise because you want to, because it’s fun, because it’s a challenge – but other than taking a brisk walk every day, you stand to do your diet more harm than good by flogging yourself at the gym on a daily basis – especially if, like me, you’re no longer in the prime of life. Build up fitness and exercise regimes slowly and deliberately to get the most enjoyment and benefit. Let’s get this straight. Even if you can get past the ridicule or at least the fear of it, you’re going to encounter other problems like injury and lack of motivation. By all means aim to get fit and put on a little muscle, but don’t feel compelled to try to make two major changes to your lifestyle at the same time. My own experience has taught me to master the mindset of the diet first and then progress to the strenuous exercise in the final stages of a diet (if that’s what you want to do). Diet as part of a lifestyle. I needed a diet that suited me and my existing lifestyle. I needed it to be simple and inexpensive. I needed it to be something I could sustain over a long period of time and something I could adapt to a permanent lifestyle when I lost the weight. My life is based around being at home with the children – cooking, cleaning , doing housework and building a home based business. I’m 4. 3 years old and I have the full time responsibility for looking after our four young children. I’m on duty all day long and I haven’t time to do any of the nonsense that many other diets require. Nor do I want to pay the ridiculous price tags for the pills, potions and superfoods currently being touted as the answer to everyone’s problems. Superfoods are super but they are also expensive and they are not the miraculous missing link in a successful diet. I needed a diet that limited my choices and left me to make only good decisions. Being a work at home mom or dad means that you’re near the fridge all day, it means you’re preparing and cooking food for other people, it means your schedule is crazy, it means you have stressful moments when the business or the family life get a little bent out of shape. And as you doubtless know, comfort eating often seems like a way to relieve the stress. Comfort or convenience eating is mostly eradicated by the simple fact that I try to eat just once a day, so the proximity of the fridge isn’t a problem. Even now at 3. 0 lbs down, my family has no idea I’m eating only one meal. And just because you’re on a diet it shouldn’t mean the rest of your family have to go on a diet too. My lifestyle choices shouldn’t inconvenience them. I don’t want to turn down the chance to go for a family meal in a restaurant or a some other social function just because I’m on a diet. How does the diet work? Monday to Friday – One main meal in the evening, with a dessert. Saturday – Two meals – lunch and dinner, with more freedom to snack in between. In other words, a cheat day. Sunday – Two meals – lunch and dinner, with a dessert. Throughout the day I drink water and tea. The tea is made with whole milk and one sugar and typically I’ll drink about six cups a day. Snacking isn’t something that I schedule in but there are occasionally times during the day when I’ll eat a snack.(I would point out that I think it’s probably better to snack throughout the day (and also advisable), but I have some specific reasons why I don’t tend to – besides, the tea with the whole milk and one sugar is pretty close to being a snack with the fat, carbohydrate and protein. Meals based around meat, chicken, fish, rice, potatoes, pasta, bread, vegetables, fruit, milk, cream, cheese, eggs – and usually followed by something sweet. I often try not to eat during the day at all, but if I feel weak or very hungry I’ll eat something that has about 1. This is not about starving myself this is about controlling when I eat so that I can be assured of creating a moderate caloric deficit every day. But it’s important to realise that these snacks are not mini meals, they’re not designed to satisfy my hunger, they’re purely functional. One of the reasons this works for me, as I’ve already mentioned (but it bears repeating), is I drink tea with full fat milk and sugar throughout the day which tends to keep me going. I guess if you could classify it as snacking. On Saturday I’ll eat two meals, lunch and dinner but I pretty much eat what I want and when I want. This is my day off, some people call it a cheat day, but I don’t consider it cheating as it will be part of the lifestyle I adopt after the weightloss phase is complete. On Sunday I have 2 meals, lunch and dinner, but I’m strict about how much I eat and I use the day to prepare me to get back on the diet on Monday. Exercise during the diet. I made a conscious decison not to take on any additional exercise other than walking once or twice a day with the dogs. Taking on exercise as part of your diet may seem like a good idea, but my own experience is that exercise hampers my efforts. From time to time I do some body- weight exercises mainly for fun or for the challenge but it’s not central to creating weight loss. If there are days when I don’t get out for a walk it doesn’t have any significant impact on my progress. The right mindset for successful dieting. I believe that most diets will work if you develop the right mindset, and most will fail if you don’t. This approach to dieting may not suit you and that’s fine, go find something else, but you’re still going to need to develop the right mindset. When you have a lot of weight to lose it can be hard to buy into the idea that you’ll need to stick to a diet for months. The results you want to see won’t be evident for a long time so you need to get invested in the process as much as the outcome. It’s so important to get a reward from your efforts on a daily basis. Understand that the real result is not what the scale says but whether you stuck to your eating plan. Get it into your head that if you repeatedly do the same thing day after day and stick to the plan, the occasional failures will be absorbed by the successes and you’ll reach your goal. You are going to feel hungry on a diet, learn to get comfortable with it. Hunger is a signal and not a command. Again this is not an exercise in starvation, that’s a stupid and potentially dangerous way to lose weight, it’s about learning to control your intake to ensure that your body gets enough nutrition whilst producing enough of a deficit to lose fat over a period of time. Set limits. The evening meal is not an open ended thing. There’s a tempation to drag the evening meal out for an hour or two but resist it and set an end time after which you will not eat.
