It seems the only people that benefit from weight loss products these days are the actual product makers telling us we need to lose pounds!

 This multi-billion dollar weight loss industry is hell-bent in pulling dollars out of our hip pocket because they, along with medical and health experts, are telling us we're an obese society.

Well, if it weren't for the one's causing this obesity epidemic (fast food retailers) and the lazy society breeding unsociable kids and teenagers by allowing them to live and grow in their electronic bedrooms, there wouldn't be a need to resort to any weight loss product.

 That perfect world perhaps existed some 40 years ago when society ate more healthily and responsibly, worked hard and socialized regularly with family and friends, and the term “lose weight”, was almost non-existent.

Many of us will have to face reality in today's fast-paced and fast food lifestyle, and inevitably will need to contemplate some form of weight loss program or diet in our life-time. 

Most weight loss programs will work if you stick to the plan—BUT the big failing is that when the diet stops, and you're no longer committed to lose pounds, the bad eating habits will start creeping back in and the weigh will start to come back on. 

That's why we have such a massive weight loss industry, it's largely because of our poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle that will force many of us to gravitate to a variety of weight loss programs and diets at various stages of our lives, this has become the real battle of the bulge in today's society!

So, how do we avoid spending big bucks on weight loss products and lose pounds the permanent way? The answer is simple, I call it the WWW principle, and no, it's not the start of a website address. 

Weight Loss Supplements - Do They Really Work?


Watch your intake, drink plenty of Water and go for a daily walk. By following this simple formula there shouldn't be a need to put on excessive weight or have a have to shed or lose pounds for that matter, unless of course you're an elite sportsperson having to maintain a certain shape, physique, or weight.

The problem with most diets is that they are all short-term programs, consequently designed to fail eventually, a self-fulfilling industry prophecy you might say. Yes, there are good arguments for eating 5 meals a day instead of 3, so your metabolism works more efficiently, therefore burning more calories. 

Low calorie diets will also have the same short-term gain, long-term fail effect simply because, by lowering your calorie intake your body will re-adjust to burning fewer calories each day; therefore you will struggle to lose pounds and maintain your goal weight over the medium to long term.

For most people that feel they only need to lose a few pounds, I recommend using your will power and initiate my WWW principle, (Watch what you eat, drink plenty of Water and go for a 30-minute walk each day). 

Eating smaller portions of food at more regular intervals of the day will also assist in maintaining a healthier metabolism that will help to burn more calories through the day.

5 Steps to Be Successful With a Weight Loss Meal Plan

One of the things you can do to lose pounds fast is to boost your metabolism, and the best way to do it is to move and exercise. 

Some people are just too lazy to quit their sedentary lifestyle and start moving and exercising that they opt for the 'quick fix' - surgeries, fad diets and pills that claim to get rid of excess fat the easiest way, but then again, these instant fixes may not be the best way to keep your body fit to get long-term results.

To help you lose pounds fast though proper exercise, here are a few tips that you might find useful.

If you find going to the gym a bit boring and monotonous, you can always join weight loss boot camps, where you can join other people aiming to lose weight.

 Weight loss boot camps are fun and exciting way to lose weight as this involves outdoor exercising and exercising in groups as well. If you are more comfortable in groups, you can find a boot camp that fits your weight loss goals.

One good thing about boot camps is that, they often have good results when it comes to shedding those extra pounds away. With circuit training and a combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercises in a 20-minute to 45-minute workout regularly, you can actually find results with this type of training.

Aerobic or cardiovascular exercises are also an important part of losing weight. If you are just starting with your active lifestyle, you can start with a simple walking exercise 30 minutes each day. 

Running and cycling are also great cardiovascular exercises that can help you burn more excess calories. Swimming is another aerobic exercise that is also good at shedding those extra fats as well.

Aside from the aerobic exercises that you can do every day; it can also help a lot to build muscles,, especially if you are obese. You don't need to be a bodybuilder, but you can build just the right muscles enough to burn fat while you are at rest.

Losing 20 pounds is no small feat, but with a few small adjustments in your daily routine, you can reach that goal and reach it quickly. Here are a few proven tips to get you started on your way.

1. If you are eating three meals a day, make an adjustment in your eating habits and eat 5 smaller, more easily digested meals throughout the day. Eating smaller portions more will often help to keep up your metabolism, making it easier for your body to burn off calories.

2. Increase the amount of water you drink. Water isn't well known for being a secret weapon when it comes to losing weight, but it can be highly effective for many reasons. The more water you drink, the more excess water weight your body will expel. I'm aware that seems ironic, but it works, and it's a great way to move toward your goal to lose 20 pounds fast.

3. Consider adding an Açaí Berry supplement to your daily diet regimen. If you have never heard of Açaí Berry, it is an all natural berry found in the Amazon that is world renowned for its weight loss and antioxidant properties. When combined with a proper diet and exercise, these miracle berries ca produce explosive results.

4. Eat a big breakfast with lots of protein and fiber

There's a simple breakfast that everyone can use to start dropping pounds and inches in days. That breakfast consists of 2-4 scrambled eggs and 1/2 can of black beans.

The high amounts of protein and fiber in them start the day off right.

If you were to eat this breakfast, you'll quickly notice that you snack less in the afternoon and evening. You'll also eat a little less for your meals.

This is important because you want your big meals earlier in the day, so they have more time to be burned off for energy.

5. Spin for hormonal weight loss

You may think of weight loss in terms of diet and exercise. This is the wrong way to look at it, since your hormones are VITALLY significant. They need to be balanced, so you don't regain the weight back.

If you're overweight, then the chances are that your hormones are unhinged… unbalanced. It's been recently discovered that spinning around in a circle, like what children do, actually brings your hormones more in balance, which turns the key to using your hormones for weight loss.

6. Eat low calorie yogurts for digestive health

Your digestive health is also an important factor in weight loss. If you're constipated a lot, your digestive health isn't in the best shape. What you can do is start eating 2-3 low calorie yogurts (80 or fewer calories) to feed your digestive system the HEALTHY bacteria that it needs to create the environment within your body to achieve accelerated weight loss

— BELIEVE That You Can Do It

I'm surprised how many people leave this significant step out when they try to lose weight—or do anything else in life, for that matter. Absolutely anything that you want to do (or change) in your life starts with your mindset.

But it isn't enough to simply “want” it to happen. If that were true, anyone could just close their eyes, make a wish—and everything they want would be handed to them.

You need a burning desire, and a belief that you can AND will start to lose pounds in one week. There can't be any doubt in your mind. So if there is, get that stuff out of there!

A Word About Family

I also wanted to talk a little about how your friends and family fit into the picture. Wouldn't it be nice to have their support when you are trying to achieve your weight loss goals

It sure would, and if you ask me—friends and family should ALWAYS be supportive of what you want to do. Especially when it comes to losing weight, so you can become a healthier person.

But unfortunately, that's not how it always is. If you have tried and failed with weight loss in the past, there is a good chance your friends and family will be anything but supportive.

How You Should Handle It

So, what exactly should you do if your friends and family couldn't care less about your personal goals?

That is an easy one. Forget about them!

If they want to support and encourage you to succeed, that's wonderful. But if not, you have to learn to block them out of your mind—and focus on what is important to YOU.

I have actually had friends and family laugh in my face at some of my personal goals that I decided to share with them. I could have let that get to me, and stopped trying, but I didn't.

Furthermore, I turned that negative reaction into something positive. Furthermore, I'm telling you, there's no better feeling than reaching a goal that nobody thought you could. You just can't put a price on being able to say, “I told you so.”

—Diet Alone Just Won't Cut It

Have you tried to lose weight before? What was your plan of attack?

If you tried to do it through cutting calories and being VERY strict with what you ate, I have a pretty good idea of how it turned out. I mean, you're reading this article, so it obviously didn't go the way you hoped it would.

It didn't turn out good because approaching weight loss from that angle is just too darn hard to keep up. Even if you are lucky, and you DO lose some weight in the beginning—it will just come right back later.

I know, it sucks. But that is what happens because cutting calories does nothing to speed up your metabolism.
