Fast Weight Loss---Faster than Fasting

Contrary to what most dieters have heard, there are numerous studies which show that fast weight loss, when accomplished in a particular way, increases dieting success and long-term maintenance of a healthful weight. The Super Fast Diet is built on these proven principles. I have used The Super Fast Diet successfully in my medical practice for over a decade and I followed it myself to reach my target weight. Today, I rely on The Super Fast Diet's Lifetime Optimal Weight (LOW) Maintenance program to keep my healthy figure. Bottom line? I know first hand just how well The Super Fast Diet works!


How Fast Will You Lose on The Super Fast Diet ?

Since my medical reputation is at stake, I won't make fantastic or false claims about your predicted weight loss. This is a scientifically-proven diet, not a marketing fantasy. I get a good chuckle at many of the weight loss claims out here on the Internet. "Lose 9 pounds every 11 days," "Lose 28 pounds in 3 weeks," "Lose 30 pounds in 30 days." Unless you cut off an arm or a leg, weight losses of this magnitude are almost impossible. (I say "almost" because an extremely overweight person or someone who has a lot of water weight may lose up to 10 pounds in the first week of dieting. This will happen on The Super Fast Diet, too. But sustained weight loss at this speed doesn't happen except in our dreams).

How fast an individual will lose weight (after than first magic week) depends on a number of factors. Your age, starting weight (fatter people lose faster), activity level, and sex (men tend to lose faster than women) all make a difference. Certain medications can slow weight loss. Weight-related hormone imbalances, described in The Super Fast Diet, play a major role. To get a basic idea of your "fasting" weight loss (how fast you would lose if you were eating nothing --- a true "fast"), let's looks at your daily calorie requirement:

One pound of body fat contains 3,500 calories. If your daily calorie requirement is 1750, for example, you'll lose about one pound (3,500 calories) every two days. This equates to 3 1/2 pounds every week. With hormone balancing and the "Super Fast Ten" daily minutes of correctly-performed exercise, expected weight loss will be more. But it almost certainly won't be 10 pounds every week.

The Science Behind Super Fast

Since the 1980's, numerous studies have looked at various diets and their short and long-term effects on weight. (These studies are completely referenced in The Super Fast Diet ). Over twenty-five well designed and conducted medical weight loss studies, with long-term follow-up, have repeatedly shown that people who lose weight the fastest tend to stick with dieting until they achieve their target weight. Even more impressive, their long-term weight maintenance far exceeds that of their slower-losing peers. For the purpose of getting and staying slim, "fast is better." Especially when it is Super Fast.

It's Not Just "Any Diet"

Fast weight loss is preferable to slower weight loss when done correctly. In other words, it's not a "do anything to lose weight" diet that produces these positive results. A diet that causes fast weight loss must also be perfectly nutritionally complete or negative health consequences can result. The Super Fast Diet patterns itself after the medical weight loss studies demonstrating that "fast is better." It is nutritionally complete and perfectly well-balanced. In fact, this may be the healthiest diet you've ever been on.

Hormones and Overweight

Did you ever stick faithfully to a diet but still found it difficult to lose? Perhaps you thought it might be your hormones, but your doctor  dismissed the idea. Well, guess what? You were probably right.

Today we know that alterations in hormone levels contribute to overweight, and overweight further imbalances these same hormones.  The overweight / hormone imbalance / more overweight cycle gets to be a vicious one, making it seem impossible to lose. If you've found this to be your experience, The Super Fast Diet is definitely for you.

I'll show you how to determine your hormone levels and what steps to take to get those "weight-related hormones" back in youthful balance. The Super Fast Diet itself helps normalize hormone levels even if you choose not to take additional steps to correct them. One way or another, these "weight related hormones" (including serotonin, dopamine, cortisol, insulin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, DHEA the male and female sex hormones) need to be in balance in order to successfully lose and maintain weight loss. Here's the bonus: restoring weight-related hormones to youthful levels not only aids weight loss, it acts as an "anti-aging" therapy as well. Better weight and better health are the result of favorable (youthful) hormone balance.
