How To Lose Weight Quickly

The advice on how to lose weight quickly is ample. You can find it in magazines, rags, on television, and, of course, online. The advice on how to lose weight quickly is also varied; and some if not most of it avoids reminding you that you cannot do a heavy-duty regime for weight loss 1) without a doctor’s support and guidance; 2) for a long period of time; or 3) if you are trying to lose a LOT of weight. Or you shouldn’t.

Granted, finding out how to lose weight quickly is something we immediate-gratification people prefer, and is handy for weddings, proms, reunions, or other upcoming events where we want to reverse the ravages of our typical eating lifestyle of fast-food binging and late-night snacking. But as you may have heard or read, most fad diets don’t work unless you work ‘em. That is, you can read a recipe or menu or article on how to lose weight quickly, can apply the protocol, and can lose some pounds. But you can also look forward (if you do not stay on a healthy lifetime food plan or if you use quirky diets for only a short period of time) to gaining the weight back, usually gaining more weight than you started with in your pre-diet days, and you increase the risk of doing serious damage to yourself.

I am not a medical practitioner. I am not a nutritional expert. But I am woman in my mid-forties who THOUGHT she was always a fat kid, fat teen, and fat young adult. So I did the diets, the fasts, the speedy concoctions, the health food snacks, etc., beating myself into thinness and ballooning exponentially in the dieting interims. Today, while I have gotten my weight to a manageable scale reading (which is ridiculously different than what you actually look like), I have the beginnings of the fallout of insisting I needed to conquer the how to lose weight quickly goals: I have heart pains (from fen-fen’s “natural” substitute, ma huang; I have flesh and skin hanging in the most cliché and most obnoxious of places, and I am three times heavier than I was before I learned hw to lose weight quickly.

It would have been more reasonable, and would have yielded more long-range healthy results, had I slowed down, worked hard [for the results], and paid attention to the beneficent folks who had nothing to gain from my loss. I could have done a combination of the following:

--understood calories
--understood burning calories
--taken vitamins and supplements: one professional suggests 500-1,000 mgs of carnitine, an amino acid that boosts energy, burns fat, and contributes to healthy muscle maint.; 250 mgs of garcinia, a sort of fat-blocker; and 1,000 mgs of calcium
--realized that I wasn’t so fat that I needed to learn how to lose quickly—if at all.

I moved recently, and unpacking boxes found a photograph of me and a friend at 19…those years when I first began obsessing with weight. I stared sadly at that photo for my flesh was firm, my skin glowed, and I was quite attractive. Every time I looked at a picture over the last thirty years, that is, I saw how healthy I really was BACK THEN. Each year following I would continue to diet maniacally, thinking I was huge. I never was. Now I am.
