Why Weight

Can You Lose 15 Pounds Fast?

By K Turner


Many diets claim you can lose 15 pounds fast using their method of dieting but many don't actually succeed. Initial results tend to prove a false hope and weight loss soon grinds to a complete halt. There are however a few diets which can give fast and lasting results.

Most diets available today do have an initial fast loss of weight, sadly though this rarely last as they are only the result of water loss. Any diet aiming to be successful and have lasting results should be helping you to lose fat. With low calorie diets being the main focus of many diets your body also realizes you are on a diet

The problem this brings is that once your body realizes you are on a diet it will slow down your metabolism. This message causes two main problems. The first is that since the metabolism is now working at a slower rate you will be burning calories far slower than usually would be the case.

Another downside is that in an effort to prevent starving, your body will start to store your fat and in its place it will start burning muscle. This isn't good for several reasons but one that makes dieting success almost unachievable is that it gives you an amazingly high increase in appetite.

Below are a few things you can try that may help to increase the level at which your metabolism works:

1. Eat Breakfast - this kick starts your metabolism for the day.

2. Eat regularly - 4, 5 or even 6 small meals a day helps to keep the metabolism working constantly and thus burning calories.

3. Drink Water - This helps the body to feel more energized and makes you feel fuller.

4. Exercise - To some its a dirty word but if you want to increase the rate at which you lose weight this is one of the best ways to do it.

These tips alone won't help you to achieve your weight loss aims but when put alongside a good diet program they can help significantly.

There aren't many diets which can help you to lose 15 pounds fast and even fewer provide continuous and lasting results. One diet based around shifting calories is particularly good and there are a handful of others but the truth is many which claim to provide fast results simply don't live up to their claims.

Which diets live up to their claims and have you lose 15 pounds fast and more importantly keep the weight off? Find out by visiting this web page: Lose 15 Pounds Fast
