Atkins is a fast way of loosing weight, however it is dangerous to cut out entire groups of food when you are trying to loose weight.

While on Atkins you can expect to drop weight fast, but you will miss nutrients from some fruts and veggies, as well as dairy and the benifits of fiber found in whole grains. People on Atkins can become very bloated, retain water and experience constipation. And when you go off Atkins you will usually gain the weight back.

The best method for weight loss is a life style change...eat less, eat whole foods and excercise and drink lots of water. Water dissolves fat.

You will not starve. You will not instantly become thin. Fasting is consuming only liquids. When the body does not have to deal with digesting solid food and getting rid of the waste that solid food creates, it can concentrate on getting rid of toxins. The most common reason to fast is to eliminate disease or from the body.



How much weight will I lose?

The main benefit offered by a fast, to those who wish to lose weight, is the speed of the weight loss. To see a person drop 30-to-40 pounds in a 30-day juice fast is to see a person totally transform his life. Self-esteem is given a boost and for the first time in their life, discipline becomes a lifestyle. The fast becomes a catalyst for a total life overhaul. People start dressing better, showing more confidence, becoming more organized, more dedicated in relationships and more at peace.

Initially, weight loss can be as high as three-to-four pounds per day, but as the fast continues, the average loss will be one pound-per-day. If you are juice fasting and not losing weight, the juice is supplying all the calories you need. You may have to cut down on the juices or alternate between water fasting and juice fasting if losing weight is part of your goal. The slower your metabolism is the slower the weight loss.

Try to stay focused on the healthy things you are doing to improve your life rather than being consumed with the number of pounds lost each day. Water retention can vary your weight five pounds so watching the scale can be frustrating. The best motivation to fast is for physical and spiritual health. Be patient; the fasting process is slow. Be thankful the toxins are leaving your body. Do not have unrealistic expectations. Give your body the time it needs to do the work of cleansing.

Fasting And Metabolism

The fear is that while fasting, the metabolism will slow down and afterward there will be more weight gained than before the fast. Initially, any calorie reduction will cause a lowering in the BMR or base metabolic rate. Cleansing will bring health that will increase metabolic performance and energy output. In other words, you will eat less and feel more energetic.

After fasting, the body is more efficient. Digestion is better due to a cleaner colon. The colon walls have been cleansed of impacted feces, allowing improved absorption of nutrients. The good news is that greater efficiency equals enhanced energy. Healthy people burn more calories. They also eat less because they are more active and feel better about themselves. They don't need food as a security blanket.

The greatest impact you can have on increasing your resting metabolism is exercise. After a workout, you can be sitting on the couch reading while burning calories, as the muscles are grabbing glucose from the blood to replace glycogen supplies. The key to weight loss is fewer calories and more exercise. A diet high in raw food provides fewer, low-density calories, and higher-fiber, more-filling foods.

Oh, by the way, a slower metabolism diminishes aging. A tortoise can live to 400 hundred years of age.

Ah, the age old question. Here's the answer, which not only is the fastest but also the healthiest: Completely cut out all processed foods from your diet, including the obvious: soda and sweets of all varieties. In addition, keep all grains out, including whole grains, oatmeal, etc. Keep dairy intake to a couple servings per day, if necessary. Make sure it's the "whole" variety, with natural fats intact. Full fat greek yogurt is also a good choice. Assuming you're not a vegetarian, here's what you should be eating: Organic, grass fed beef, chicken (and other "fowl,") fish, pork (including bacon!,) etc. Eat lots of green leafy and cruciferous (broccoli, for example) vegetables. Eat a few servings of fresh fruit each day. Pears, apples and blueberries are great choices. Keep your total carbohydrates to between 50 and 100 grams total per day. If you're a bread eater, this will be a tough one, but to lose weight fast, it's the only way. Eat between .5 and 1 gram of protein per pound of your ideal bodyweight. Supplement with whey protein powder if you need to achieve this in addition to your whole food intake. Next, get to the gym and hit the weights with the help of a trainer. Stay away from cardio and the wide selection of machines. You want to do compound exercises that work multiple muscles, like squats, pullups, pushups, dips and deadlifts. If you stick with this you will be amazed at the weight you will lose. There is no easy way, and there is no magic pill here. It will take work and diligence. Good luck.

Since you didn't gain weight in one day, it is impossible to lose weight in one day- in the healthy way. The fastest way to lose weight purely is to lose water, so you can skip the water and try to get out your food from body as much as you can afford to...but that's gonna be bad for your health and the weight will be gained back soon. So to lose weight you need to eat less but more healthy and exericise. It will take a few extra days but that way your body will lose weight itself and much better than any kinda diet!!

Well it depends on if you want to do it healthy.

If you do which i hope you just eat 6 small meals a day which can consist of fruits veggies and a bottle of water and that will speed up your metabolism and help you loose weight. Also stay away from all drinks unless they are watter or tea.

Also i hate drinking plain water and if your the same this could help. Just take one lemon and a small packet of Sweet and Low and mix them into you water it will make it taste better.

Now if you want to do it un healthy you just starve your self but that is very stupid so dont do it.

GOOD LUCK

Hope i helped you!!!

The only real way to lose weight and keep it off is through exercise...I know, a lot of us don't want to face that because we are lazy and hate exercise. I'm including myself in that group. But, sadly, miracle cures simply do not work. Exercise is the way to go.

I know that this is extreme but if you were to stop eating, get plenty of exercise and spend hours in a sauna, you would lose weight quickly. (this is just my tongue in cheek reaction to what I consider is a daft question.)
