Everyone wants to get rid of the flab. Sometimes it seems like there are more diet plans, fads, books, and coaches than there are people to try them! But as much as we all want to get in shape, nobody wants to try and get their work done while their stomach is begging for something, anything to eat.Sorry, there's probably no diet plan or weight loss strategy known to mankind that will let you lose weight while stickling religiously to the "jumbo sodas and jelly doughnuts" diet. Foods like that contain something called high-fructose corn syrup that actually makes you more fat than you should be, when you look at the number of calories they contain. (And boy, do they contain a lot of calories!) So yes, you will have to make some changes to your diet if your daily food intake is limited to what you can find at the local convenience store.
On the other hand, getting rid of excess pounds isn't complicated or hard. Read enough weight loss diet plans, and you may get the impression that almost every food on the menu can help you lose weight... so there's no need to feel confused. Put a little planning into your meals and apply a little knowledge, and you too can kill the flab. You can even do it without ever going hungry!
Basically, it doesn't matter very much how many calories you eat as long as you're willing to change the kinds of food you're eating. Where should you start? Major "body image killers" ought to be first on your hit list. Lose anything that's heavy in sugar or highly processed... things like soda, doughnuts, cake, all the stuff you know you shouldn't be eating. Sorry, there's no room for "just a little to feed my daily habit" here. The high fructose corn syrup and other chemicals in these foods trigger changes in your body (changes that are almost guaranteed to make you fat and unhappy) even if you have them in very small quantities.
Now figure out how you can cut the pasta, muffins, and white bread from your diet, as well as anything that has a high percentage of its calories from fat. (Check the labels.) Change your alcohol-consumption habits too. If you can't "go dry" entirely, lose the beer, rum, and sugary cocktails in favor of red wine and (non-rum) hard liquor.
If you want to try a no-carb lifestyle or a paleo diet, go ahead! If you still need some grains in your life, replace the white bread and pasta with wholesome whole grains. Best of all is a dark whole grain bread... buy it whole (not pre sliced) and fresh from the bakery if you can. Your taste buds will be amazed at how amazing it tastes, and you'll be full of energy for the rest of the day. Best of all, you'll probably be surprised at just how little of it you have to eat to feel full.
Having made some basic changes in your diet, now you can start thinking about exercise... chances are, this will sound like a lot less of a chore than it used to. Unhealthy foods don't just make you fat, they actively steal the energy you need to hit the gym.
Is there a diet plan that doesn't take any exercise? Maybe. There's a fundamental rule in weight loss that you have to burn more calories than you take in. Some diets make this easy by focusing on protein-rich foods (which fill you up faster and take more calories for your body to digest) or foods that give you energy (so you burn more calories sitting around). Best of all, though, is a little daily exercise.
Want to learn more about how you can lose weight now, and do it fast? Fat Loss Factor is full of excellent resources that will tell you exactly what you need to do. After all, losing weight can be a challenge even if you start with the basic rules... that's why the folks athttp://www.fatlossquickly.com put together some resources for you to make it extra easy for you!
