How to Get Fast Weight Loss

The issue of weight is as big as it’s ever been. In the United States, there are 210 million overweight people. This amounts to about 70% of the total population.

With this many people overweight, that means that more than two thirds of our population is at higher risk for many health problems. Some of these problems are only minor, like the common cold and achy knees and joints. Other health risks that overweight people are more susceptible to are very concerning, such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

Luckily for these people, it has never been easier to lose weight and get in shape. The big change people need to make is in their diet. What they eat accounts for 80% of weight loss. Unfortunately, this is the most overlooked aspect of weight loss and the portion that people most take for granted.

People too often concentrate on exercising and don’t worry too much about what they eat. Exercising is important, but it only takes care of 20% of weight loss. That means that your diet is 4 times more important in terms of losing weight than exercising is.

The key is finding and following a great eating program that is designed for you. This will allow you to input the food you do like as well as the food you don’t like and it will generate a diet according to these variables. This diet will minimize the risk of you cheating or quitting it because you will be already eating the food you want to eat.

This great diet will change your eating pattern a lot more than it changes what you actually eat. The key is finding a schedule that allows your rate of metabolism to remain high where you can burn the most calories. The traditional meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not create these circumstances. These meals are too big and force your body to work too hard to break down and digest food.

The key is eating smaller but more frequent meals throughout the day. This will let your body digest food at a pace it can handle, which will keep your rate of metabolism very high. This is when your body functions at its optimal level and you can burn the most calories possible, day and night.
