Do you want to lose 15 pounds fast? Would that be pounds of fat, water or muscle?  Here are some tips and uyou should use our FREE Weight Loss Oracle Program to determine exactly how many calories YOU personally burn each day.

You see, when people talk about losing weight, they don’t always comprehend exactly what that means. Most people automatically connect weight with fat, but that’s not accurate.

If you want to lose 15 pounds just so it looks better on the scale readout, then it probably doesn’t matter whether you lose fat, water or muscle. If you want to lose that extra bulge around your middle, then you’re looking to lose 15 pounds of fat fast.

Regardless of whether you want to lose fat or pounds, it’s important to know that water makes up part of that loss. In fact, during the first few days of any diet, water makes up the majority of loss.

There are countless sites on the internet that claim to be able to show you how to lose 15 pounds fast. What they don’t always tell you is that losing weight fast can be dangerous to your health. Of course, it all depends on what you consider ‘fast’. For some people, a month would be fast while others see it as something more immediately, like a few days or a week.

The most realistic goal would be to lose 15 pounds in a month, because that’s far more achievable. Still, it can be risky if you don’t approach your weight loss correctly.

If you want to lose 15 pounds fast, it can’t be all water, which is the easiest to shed. Your body needs water to survive. Deprive it of too much water and it will begin to break down. 

Starvation or near starvation isn’t the answer either. In fact, not eating will cause your body to retain and even gain weight. When your body isn’t getting enough nutrients, warnings go off. In a desperate effort to survive, it hangs onto everything you feed it, which adds weight.

The best way to lose 15 pounds fast is by eating foods such as meat that use more of your energy to digest it. You could eat nothing but meat, but that wouldn’t be healthy either. Your body needs a well-rounded diet that provides all the required nutrients. You can eat a well-balanced diet and still lose weight if you know which foods to choose.

Before starting your weight loss plan, take measurements of your body including your weight and fat content. Special callipers (usually part of a weight loss or fitness center’s tool kit) are used to measure fatty tissue on various areas of your body. Keep these figures handy so you can see your progress.

Here are some things you can do to lose 15 pounds fast.

1) Avoid foods that cause water retention, like salt. Cut back on salt and you’ll begin to shed weight.

2) Eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day to keep your body’s digestive process working. 

3) Add foods that use more energy to digest, including meat, chicken, salmon, asparagus, cheese, carrots, squash and green beans.

4) Drink water throughout the day as this helps boost your metabolism.

5) Exercise to build muscle, because muscle increases your metabolism naturally.

Re-take your measurements about every week or two and if you aren’t seeing results, adjust your weight loss plan accordingly.

Stay loyal to your plan and you can lose 15 pounds fast.

The old saying ‘misery loves company’ is as true with dieting as it is with any other addiction in life.  Regardless of how important it is for you to stick to your diet, there will be at least one person in your life, who will not want you to succeed, subconsciously that person may even be you.

If you are from a large family, and still living at home, be prepared to smell all of your favorite foods being prepared.  This is not necessarily a conscious thought process from the saboteur, as a matter of fact it is usually unconscious and not meant in a mean or vindictive manner.  They just don’t want to loose you, and may be fearful that if you loose your excess weight, you will no longer want to be around them.

Reasons you may subconsciously sabotage your own diet:

• Fear of loosing your friends and acquaintances
• Loss of your favorite foods (dieting is also a process in which we need to allow ourselves to grieve)
• Issues from childhood may come back up that you are unaware of (these issues may be part of the reasons you became overweight)

Regardless of who is doing the sabotaging, being aware of it is half the battle in the war of your successful weight loss.

In some instances it may be solved by simply telling those in your life how important it is to you, and even to them for you to loose weight.  Make them aware of your health issues, if this is the reason you are dieting.  It may help to get them involved in your weight loss, asking them for support to succeed.

If it a subconscious sabotage on your part, you may want to speak to a counselor about it.  It is important that you are aware of any issues that may be a stumbling block for you.

Whatever your decisions, pay attention to what is happening around you.  In the end, the whole process of weight loss lies with you, regardless of who sabotages your efforts.

There are many different types of low-carb diets the standard for the number of carbs consumed daily should be 5 to 10% of your consumption.  The strict reduction of carbohydrates is the main thing all of the low-carb diets have in common.  In a low-carb diet, the carbs are replaced by fats and proteins.  In most cases a low-carb diet is the same as a high-fat, moderate protein diet.  The daily intake of fat for a person on a low-carb diet should be 60 to 70% of their daily consumption.

The low carb diet is the only diet that deals with the true causes of obesity, high cholesterol, hypoglycemia, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.  For those dealing with these illnesses, low-calorie and low-fat diets don’t do the job needed to restore their health, in fact for diabetics; these diets can actually do harm.

The instances of adult-onset diabetes have increased, research has shown that the so called ‘low-fat, high-carb (balanced) we have been taught to eat for years, has caused Americans to be the fattest people on Earth, and we just keep getting fatter!  Research has shown that carbs are the enemy, not fat, and we need to be aware of the results of these studies.

With a low carb diet, as long as you steer clear of the foods that you are not allowed, you can eat all the food you want, you can actually eat until you are full, and this is not allowed on other diets.  You can eat all you want of these items:

• Meats, including roast beef, bacon, pork chops, steak, hamburger, prime rib, pot roast, tenderloin, the only meat you can’t eat is liver, when considering prepared meats, check the label for carbohydrate content.
• Fish, shellfish, even though oysters contain some carbs
• Poultry, chicken, turkey, eggs, game hens, duck
•  Dairy products, milk, butter, cream and cheese, cheese is high in protein, there are some restrictions, read the label
• And a limited amount of green vegetables, broccoli, asparagus, spinach, mustard greens, salad veggies, cauliflower, green beans, Brussels sprouts and celery

Many books are available giving you a count of how many carbs are in each of the foods you eat, they are a sound investment if you are considering a low carb diet.
