What's the fastest way to lose fat?
Posted: 4/8/2009 3:27:18 PM
OP beware of marketing scams likeVivaCore4.

There is no quick way to get to where you want to be, the only way to get their and stay there is do what you do and just let it happen. When someone tells you they have a short cut, always question it.

So I did and this is what I found:

I went to their we site and they are basically set up to sell pharmaceuticals which you do not need. When the products have things like: Other Ingredients: Cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide , listed as ingredients it is never good thing.

The other reason would be the posting history of the person telling you to check it out.





What happened to me?!? Can't lose weight.

I have been on it NOw for 26 days and have lost 12.5 lbs with very little exercise




The post's are only 4hrs apart but his story goes from 24 days to 26days and someone how he gained a 1/2 of pound, maybe it was the burger.

When someones story changes this much in 4hrs you know they are just trying to push unnecessary junk or profit.

Bolotee, you are the first one to get it right about weight loss and and putting on muscle! I have been working with my trainer at the gym and alot of reading on this subject. I have done both at the same time (weight loss and put on muscle). And it is a slow process. It is also about a life style change, not a temporary diet! People also need to find their correct heart rate when working out, so they dont burn the muscle they have put on. And never work out on a empty stomache, your body needs the energy to get you through an intense or regular workout. I am 49 yrs old and look and feel great because of the changes I have made.

Coconut oil? Are you nuts! That is a saturated fat! Not a healthy fat to be taking in. Where in the world did you come up with that one? And fruits are a more healthy form of sugar to eat as long as you dont over do it. And its not so much the nutrients in the fruits, its also the fiber in alot of fruit that makes you feel full.

I wouldn't suggest lose weight fast; unless you want to put it right back on.

I would suggest a balance between healthy eating, activity and weight lifting + great sleep and water intake

ok, that is true and sounds simply doesnt it!...we havent heard back from OP in awhile...I am now down 70 pounds over the last year...as far as exercise goes, weight loss was doing moderate cardio building up to an hour most days at the start...once into the 40 pounds lost, had to switch to HIIT and increased weight training for the next 30 (more pushups and 40 lb. dumbell).

Fastest was the last 25-30, though...doing some cardio most days first to work up to HIIT really is the best....I overtrained on the HIIT at first but am looking to do every other day.

Averaged 1.5 pounds lost per week over the year.....2 lbs/week or little bit more over the 2-2.5 months doing the HIIT and more weights. Diet the last couple of months has been tuned up as well...more protein and a few less carbs...

Losing it too fast is a large contributor to people gaining it back.

Your body is always in a state of change, either losing or gaining, if you tip the scale to fast to one side it is like pushing a pendulum, sure it will go far, but it will take allot more effort to keep it over there once you bottom out.

If you take is slow and steady and let your body lose the wight at a slower rate you will stand a better chance of maintaining the weight.

I have been successful with just adopting a lifestyle and letting the cards fall where they may.

Then you tweak your lifestyle as you start to learn what works for you the best.

A couple of things dont rely on cardio alone. The more you do the better you become at it so in other words you become more efficient and you'll lose fat a a slower rate.
Another thing is alternate between longer lower intesity and high intensity interval cardio in the morning before you eat preferably (It should depend how much time you have). Any food that you eat will most likely be burned for energy insted of your body fat. And you'll also lose muscle mass which isnt good (get back to this in a bit)
Diet is obviously another factor if you wanna know diets or nutrition tips i recomend bodybuilding.com it has everything you need to know about anything related to health, fitness and supplementation

Now finally the best way to get rid of bodyfat is to build muscle. A muscular person burns more calories sitting and doing nothing then a smaller less muscular person.And remeber spot reduction DOES NOT WORK. For a weight training program for fatloss try to stick to all of the compound moves and hit all muscle groups in one workout. It would be a good idea to cycle your reps

--- one month high reps and small rests (this will be almsot a form of cardio and will really put your body to the test) *****DO NOT GO TILL FAILURE ON THESE SETS**** Limit your reps and focus in speed and intesity. Because of your low calorie diet you dont want to annihilate your muscles.

---Next month switch it up and try to pack on some serious muscle mass and get stronger. This is simple throw on more weight lower the reps and give yourself a little more rest.

Again this is just a breif simple description so if you wanna know some proven programs just check out bodybuilding.com

Hope you can get something out of this
Good Luck - Kevin

The idea that ALL saturated fats are "unhealthy" is a dumbed down view of the science. Many studies are showing that it's more complex than "one nutrient, good/one nutrient, bad". The combination of other nutrients and the caloric content all affect the body's response to foods.

Coconut oil is largely Medium Chain Triglycerides, which are metabolized differently than Long Chain Triglycerides.

Perfect weapon
Yes good fat is what you need but anyone who works in Weight Loss will tell you the same thing....less fat in your diet less fat on your body. Obviously you need fat for several reasons and one is for your healthy bowel movements. If you cut out too much fat you will constipate.
If you read my post about the G.I. Index it explains about sugar in foods...not just fruit. I have the G.I. index practically memorized (as it is my job to do so) and I know from experience that if you keep your G.I. under 55 like I mentioned above you will see better results.
Dont get offended and read throughly and you will understand that I am not discouraging fat and fruit, you need a healthy balance of both!
As well a good fat is flax seed (linseed) as it is better for your bowels then even bran is as it creates a mucus in your intestines, however if taking with out a lot of water it can actually cause an intestinal blockage. You should only have Flax about 4 times a week.

One way to also lose fat in the abdominal area is through a product called CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) Found in pill form. 1000mg
CLA decreases body fat and increases lean body mass (protien content), independant of dietary fat levels. It also decreases appetite, increases energy expenditure, increases bodily energy expenditure, heat loss, and excretion and possibly increases thermogenesis in fat tissue.
CLA reduces the actual fat cell and prevents the fat cells in the body from accumulating fat deposits.
So it actually decreases body fat percentage and promotes inch loss.

HI: monalee
This is a brilliant statement!In my case I do apply heat to natural food (non animal) and do eat pasteurised only cheese and exercise heaps and have found no difficulty in maintaining weight levels commensurate with my height and body shape.

You prescription though simply described is poignant with truth and remedy for
losing fat. Let those which such problems listen to this good advice!

CLA and coconut oil may be saturated fat, but they are beginning to get more recognition in the medical field as nutrients that our body needs. In fact, CLA is a trans fat, but it is not regarded as dangerous for our health in any way, unlike other man made trans fats. (CLA is hydrogenated by the bacteria in ruminant animals.) I agree with the poster that looking at all saturated fats as being bad is a limited view because not all fats are the same, even saturated ones. Biochemistry is a complex science, but there is research coming out now that is changing the way fats are viewed, and their effects on the body.

The only fat I stay away from is man made hydrogenated fat.

OP, look at the bodies of these posters, and then decide who's advice you want to follow! That would be the best indication of how successful individual regimes are, I think. All bodies may be different, but many of the super fit posters here are dispensing similar advice...just something to think about.

Palifornia562:
Why take any tablets or artificial remedies when nature is so bountiful in what it offers to us?
Side effects of tablets are never fully realised.We have the beach or mountains to enjoy.If we eat to live rather than Vice Versa, we would not have to worry about weight problems.Tablets do not provide a substitute for rhythmic exercise of the whole body and relaxation of mind. Body fat disappears without you even noticing it and all this is happening whilst the individual is in a state of enjoyment and relation and maybe also meet some interesting people at the same time!.

So Much Fun all for free;No gym(yuk!inhale stale air from somebody else's lungs;no thanks!!!!);no weight lifting,and no personal trainers!

I am sorry but I disagree. The things that are most destructive are sugars which cause body to produce too much glycogene which slows down the body from burning fat. All those products that say low fat are loaded with sugar ! As far as losing weight goes diet is 80% and exercise is 20% and as far as abs gooooooooo you can do crunches up the kazooo and if you don't watch your food intake ... you will get no where and as far as you saying how diary is no good ? There have been some studies that show how dairy causing extra mucus has prevented some people from getting lung cancer. The bottom line is .... Eat the portions that we are supposed to eat and eat 6 to 8 small meals a day and watch your caffeine intake . I am a expert in this area ... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lol

You cannot have Your "cake and eat it"!!!!!!

Either You choose the healthy diet and exercise or degenerate and end up being a burden on the state and lose any independence You wish to have as you progress into
the upper age bracket!The loss of self esteem that occurs permeates int your psyche'
and eventually affects everything which engulfs You!

Realise that it is about taking responsibility for Yourself and hold your head up high!We cannot help how we look facially or change the body frame but we CAN enhance OUR health and in fact is it not OUR responsibility to DO SO?

Analysing sugars,carbohydrates,fatty acids,tablets and all these complex metabolic structures is CODE for trying to DODGE the REAL ISSUE!FACE UP TO IT!

Yes but unfortunately that is not profitable.

I would say it all can be traced back to the "Self Esteem" movement start in the 70's and has been nothing of a complete failure for society but good for business of making sure that the majority of society is using drugs.

Trying to improve ones self esteem by codling them is detrimental to their success.

Big Pharma tells us that it is not our fault and we must not feel bad because we have failed and why you are at it you should take some pills and pay some money.

It works on parents that can not control their kids, no Mr or Mrs parent it is not your fault, its the kids problem and to fix that and say you from having to deal with something we will absolve you from all responsibilities as long as you agree to buy our drugs.

Works the same for overweight people.

You can not say anything bad as you may hurt someone feelings, never never tell them its their fault, no, it is always someone else's fault.


Over 90% of all health conditions can be cured with Diet and Exercise.

Not a good idea of cut yourself up into 'acceptable' parts and 'unacceptable' parts. Love yourself as a complete being and then change your habits. You can start with.

1. Eat only when hungry.
2. Never eat to full satisfaction; 1/2 filled with food, 1/4 filled with liquids, one 1/4 filled with air for the accumulation of gasses.
3. Chew thoughroughly for the complete and efficient absorbtion of nutrients.
4. Choose as pure and unadulterated foods as possible.
5. Raw for cleansing, cooked for building. (mixture of both is best)
6. Stress (mental, emotional, physical) promotes the storing of unused calories as fat; ancient biological mechanism to help animals through difficult periods.
7. Expiriment with different foods, follow through on how they make you feel. Food allergies and intolerances can manifest in different form including the direct transformation in fat and unrational cravings to gorge.
I'm sure there are many more.

Arguably amputation remains the fastest way of losing fat. One is best to secure the help of a friend, who would rush the offending fat filled limbs to a forgotten location, before the surgery... especially as speed is of the essence. Hmmm... best to use a really forgetful friend, just to make sure that fat is never again found.

Please...no offense is intended... I used to feel too skinny myself.

xzanthius:I can only say that in my case I am 'privileged' to virtually "have My fill" with the right food (which I am able to savour for the basic taste which it naturally posesses) and exercise my body (which in doing so also helps with sorting out
'issues' that we all confront in life).

There is this 'mania' to seek "taste" in food which destroys it's natural flavour and the restaurants place such a huge price tag on food that has the affront to be named 'beans A la' something or other!Any resemblance to beans left by the back door!Never to be recognised ever again;the 'thing" on the plate resembling a bit of string covered in cream;doused with oil;full of salt and a colourful sprig of sugar on the top!

I viewed two wedding receptions Yesterday and I kid You not this type of menu adorned the plates of all the invited guests at the reception and looking at the body
fat on the invited guests I prayed that nothing adverse would happen to them healthwise.

And We fall for it!!!!!!!!!!We actually crave sugar and fats!We are programmed to do so as You said in your note!Society feeds off it and profits on it!!!

Or if you have insurance you can get some good $ for a body part. I remember in school getting an insurance pamphlets to take home to Mom that had values for fingers / arms / legs etc..

After the body part comment I would guess some fava beans and a nice chianti.
