I am not going to lie to you.

I HATE diets.

But, I hate being fat even more.

Yes, I know what all of the “gurus” say.  “Don’t diet.  Make a lifestyle change.”  Well, doesn’t a lifestyle change START with dieting?  It sure feels like it:  “Hmmm… I’m hungry, I miss my favorite foods, I’m cranky… Yep, it feels like a diet to me.”

In this post, I’m going to share with you the 3 quick ways to lose weight that I have relied on time and time again to get my butt in gear and back on the road to weight loss.  You can call it a weight loss plan, a diet, or a lifestyle change.  I don’t care what you call it.  But, any of these methods (or all three) can be a great way to continue losing a lot of weight after you’ve completed the detailed step-by-step instructions in the Lose 10 Pounds In 3 Days Report.

Let’s face it many people do have more than 10 pounds to lose, and following these 3 quick ways to lose weight is a great way to continue losing a much weight as you want.

So, here we go…

The first of the 3 quick ways to lose weight revolves around exercise.

Yes, exercise sucks at first… especially if you are not used to it.  But, it is (by far) on of the best things you can do for your bodies for the long term.  People who exercise have an easier time losing weight because being physically active will usually use more calories than you consume, so the energy is taken from burning the fat stored in your body.  Exercise, especially weight training (sometimes called resistance training) can build muscle which will burn more fat even when you are NOT exercising.  A good combination of cardio (walking, jogging or running) and weight training is the best method for weight loss, and I have seen this one-two punch work miracles – even in those individuals who have difficulties with watching what they eat.

If you want to start gradually, exercising for about 30 minutes per day is a great start.  Just getting your body moving in the morning with a short but quick walk around the block will your blood flowing and give your metabolism a quick boost.  Believe me, even just 30 minutes of exercise per day will make a huge improvement in the way you look in a short period of time.

However, if you are more serious about your weight loss, you should exercise for at least 1 hour per day.  Consider it an investment in your health, your body, your self-esteem and your overall quality of life.  If you do not have access to resistance training machines or free-weights, join a gym.  Alternating between some cardio and weight training is probably the quickest ways to lose weight that I know of.  By following the plan detailed in the Lose 10 Pounds In 3 Days Report, and then following it up by alternating weights with cardio, you are guaranteed to completely transform your body in record time.  Here is an example of what an average week might look like:

1. Monday:  Cardio on the treadmill or walking around the neighborhood
2. Tuesday:  Weight Training (focus on upper body parts)
3. Wednesday:  Cardio on the treadmill or walking around the neighborhood
4. Thursday:  Weight Training (focus on legs and buttocks this time around)
5. Friday:  Cardio again.  On the treadmill or walking around the neighborhood is fine
6. Saturday:  Weight Training (try to focus more on strengthening your “core”, by exercising abs, lower back and obliques)
7. Sunday:  The Day of Rest (seriously, take the day off – you deserve it)

If this looks daunting, please don’t let it turn you off from incorporating exercise into your daily life – start with the 30 minutes of walking per day and work your way up.  Just try it for 2 months.  If you see no improvement, just quit (I say this with total confidence because you WILL see a dramatic improvement).  If the weight training looks scary, try to find someone who is familiar with weight training and ask them to be your workout partner.  Or, hire a personal trainer for a couple of weeks until you get the hang of things.  Most gyms have their own personal trainers that you can hire on an hourly basis.
