Fat Loss Diets - 5 Reasons Why SHOCK Dieting Is The Most Amazing Method To Melt Away Belly Fat Fast

First, Why Other Diets Are Useless...

If you have struggled trying to lose belly fat, lose inches off your waist, get rid of the flab on your arms, hips, and legs, or whatever your issues are, I'm pretty sure you just want to FINALLY get consistent, quick, and permanent results, right? Well, you can certainly get consistent, quick, and permanent results, but whatever diet you choose is what will make the BIGGEST difference... and that's because food is the MOST IMPORTANT aspect for shrinking stubborn fat.

Now this may come as a surprise to you (because it certainly did for me when I began my own journey to lose my belly), but cutting out carbs, eliminating fats, and seriously lowering how many calories you eat every day is NOT the answer!

Shocking isn't it?!

Well, the reason those types of diets don't work for losing fat off the stomach (or the rest of your body for that matter) is because they are literally based around principles that can end up KEEPING FAT on your stomach! The reason those types of diets could end up keeping fat on your stomach is because seriously cutting out carbs, fats, and calories will cause imbalances in your body and could end up causing your metabolism to seriously slow down. A slow metabolism will cause your body to retain calories you eat as additional body fat... and especially around the stomach!

Second, What The Heck Is SHOCK Dieting?

Shock dieting is a type of diet that is based around confusing your metabolism. Confusing your metabolism is a surefire way to cause pounds of fat to melt away incredibly fast.

What's the point of confusing the metabolism?

Well, the metabolism will become accustomed to your eating habits if you are eating the same way and you are eating the same foods all the time. Because of this, your body will not burn off calories at a fast pace. If you on the other hand find a diet that is based around shocking your metabolism by changing around your eating patterns in very special ways, here are 5 things you'll experience:

5 Reasons Why This Type Of Dieting Works Best...

1. You'll find it fun to do since you won't get bored of eating the same foods...

A diet based on shocking the metabolism will be based around eating different foods in different intervals. This prevents the metabolism from becoming complacent. Meanwhile, you will find it very fun doing this type of dieting since you don't have to worry about eating the same types of foods every day. Also, there is a WIDE ARRAY of different foods to eat with this type of dieting as well. This means no low-carb, no low-fat, definitely no restricting calories too much, and no depriving.

2. You won't feel hungry as often...

Shock dieting is also based around eating smaller meal portions containing the right nutrients, but more often throughout the day. Since you are first eating more frequently, second eating the perfect amount of food each time, and third eating the right types of nutrients that satisfies hunger (protein, healthy fat, fiber, etc.), those annoying hunger pangs are sure to be a thing of the past.

3. This type of dieting is easy to stick to...

And that's because you don't starve yourself or restrict foods too much and since results come very fast, by seeing these results, you will have a ton of motivation to stick with the diet until to you reach your ultimate goals.

4. Your metabolism is going to go insane...

Since you are confusing your metabolism by not allowing it to get accustomed to an eating pattern, it's going to increase to a very high level. Because of this, your body is going to burn off tons of FAT (not muscle) pretty quickly. I started seeing results in the first couple of days with this type of diet.

5. Once it's gone... it's gone...

Unnatural dieting will cause yo-yo weight loss and will cause your metabolism to decrease once your done the diet. This in other words is non-permanent dieting. And this is also why the diet industry is a billion dollar industry! They know that by keeping the truth from you and having you run around chasing the next best thing, WITHOUT GETTING PERMANENT RESULTS, you are going to continue spending and spending and spending!

Well, I say tell the diet companies to GET LOST and go find yourself a natural and real program that will not only bring you quick results, but natural and permanent results. And a diet based around confusing your metabolism is certainly one of the best (if not THE best) type of nutritional dieting to lose stomach and body fat quickly and permanently.

If you want to Melt Away Belly Fat LIGHTNING FAST, and be able to lose 9 pounds EVERY 11 DAYS, then the best program I recommend (and used myself) that's based around the method above is the calorie shifting diet from Fat Loss 4 Idiots. This program brings quick and permanent results simply by shocking your bodies metabolism...

I used this diet program myself and ended up dropping 52 pounds of fat and I flattened my stomach in 8 weeks!

Dieting Vs Healthy Eating - The Difference Between These Weight Loss Methods

There are many different approaches to losing weight. The word "dieting" is commonly used as a method to lose weight by adjusting the way that you eat. However, it is in fact "healthy eating" that will result in long time weight loss and not dieting.

Diets make you lose lots of weight in a short space of time. You often have to starve yourself and it is an unhealthy way to lose fat.

Then when you finish the diet, you often find that you start eating even more than you did before the diet. As a result, you put the weight back on, and then some.

Dieting can also cause health problems. By starving your body of the nutrients that it needs you increase the risk of diseases such as cancer and diabetes.

Also with Diets, they often ask you to completely eliminate a certain food from your diet. This might mean no carbs, no fat, no protein etc. But in order to lead a healthy life, you need a balance of all these food types.

In a popular healthy eating program named The Diet Solution, healthy eating is used as an alternative to dieting. The creator of The Diet Solution, Isabel De Los Rios, even gives you some very tasty recipes to include in your new way of eating with her program. This proves that you can still eat tasty foods, stay healthy, and lose fat at the same time.

Diets are actually really boring. How long can you last for by just eating soup or juice or salads? But healthy eating plans, on the other hand, are fun. You get a nice mix of healthy foods that fill you up and keep off the cravings. You also get to treat yourself and you are not constantly having to count the calories or study the labelling on food packaging at the supermarket!

What The Diet Solution focuses on is long-term weight loss and a steady rate over time. You will remain healthy and enjoy your new way of eating. The long-term approach is the best way to ensure that you will stay healthy, lose weight, and keep the weight from returning.

With fad diets, you just starve yourself for a short period of time. And then you go back to your old eating habits (or worse) when it is finished.

As a result, the only way forward is a complete change of lifestyle and the way you approach meals.

For more information on the Diet Solution program, see the Buy Diet Solution website and the Isabel De Los Rios page on the same site.

Six Top Foods for Weight Loss: Eat These and Slim Down Without Dieting!

If you were asked, could you name the top six foods for weight loss? I'm sure you'd be able to name off some of them, but if you'd like to lose weight without dieting, you'll want to read my list to find out for sure! I created it only after I lost weight myself, by following this same list. Read on to learn these easy secrets!

Here's how the list was born. Rich and I were in Mexico and decided to lose weight together. But we had a problem. You see, we were heading back to the U.S. and traveling for 30 days. This meant that and we wouldn't have time to focus on our diet. Yet, we wanted to lose weight - and certainly didn't want to fall into the "travel-weight-gain" rut while eating with family and friends. (in other words, we wanted our cake and eat it too!)

So before we left, we decided to concentrate on the foods we'd been eating, which were helping us lose weight already. And guess what? A month later, we each weigh about 8 pounds lighter...all while enjoying good times visiting, traveling and dining out. We were so surprised, since this has never happened before.

Now I'd like to share these Top 6 Foods for Weight Loss with you!

Six Top Foods for Weight Loss:

Okay, technically these are groups or categories of foods, but here goes!

Food #1 - Veggies, veggies, veggies!! During that month, our diet consisted of 50% veggies. We ate onions, peppers, fresh pico de gallo, hot peppers, garlic, broccoli, squash, sweet potatoes, avocados, salads, and so on.

We'd bake a potato or sweet potato and top it off with a veggie stir fry, then adding salsa and a dash of unsweetened Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. It was delicious, and paired with fish, making a great meal!

Food #2 - Juice: Stay away from most processed veggie juices, as well as sweet fruit juices. Instead, drink pure, fresh carrot juice! If you don't want to make it yourself, you can buy a jug of 100% Odwalla carrot juice, which is fresher than most processed juice.

For lunch I'd blend up some fresh spinach, carrot juice, hemp protein, and a bit of unsweetened almond milk for a tasty lunch drink. We'd try and have juice for lunch or breakfast 5-7 times a week.

Food #3 - Lentils and beans: We ate lentils and beans instead of grains. They're all 'slow carbs', meaning they don't spike your insulin levels- so your liver doesn't store your meals as fat. You can top lentils off with salsa, too. Get creative with your lentils and beans. Make a 3-bean salad, or a lentil soup - adding veggie broth, a few carrots and celery.

Food #4 - Clean proteins such as fish and eggs: Wild caught fish is great for you, as it provides an excellent source of Omega 3 oils, as well as a clean protein that's easy to digest and use for fuel. We simply pan fried a white fish in oil, garlic, onion and hot peppers. Or, for a change we'd fry our white fish in coconut oil, adding coconut flakes, ginger and almond slivers. We also ate a few organic eggs every morning - with lentils, beans and a helping of salsa or a touch of freshly-made guacamole. Rich eats some meats, but tried to limit them to 2-3 times a week, as they're full of antibiotics and hormones.

Food #5 - Healthy Fats: I mentioned the coconut oil a moment ago. We use it because it has a higher flash point, which means it's better for cooking over hot heat as it doesn't turn rancid like olive oil does. It's high in saturated fat, but unlike most other saturated fats, it's processed differently in the body, so used in moderation, is an excellent choice.

My favorite cooking oil is macadamia nut oil, which is low in saturated fats AND has a high flash point! For salads and cold dishes, olive oil is still my top choice. Raw almond butter on celery or raw almonds are an excellent snack in moderation, too.

Food #6 - Healthy seasonings and condiments: I used to prepare my food with plenty of salt, pepper, margarine and mayo. During my stint living in Mexico I adjusted my taste buds for the better. The seasonings we used instead were cayenne pepper, cilantro, rosemary, mustard seed, dill and other herbs, red pepper flakes, fresh ground black pepper, chili-lime seasoning, cumin, and a dash of sea salt.

Other condiments included fresh pico de gallo, salsa, guacamole, Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, Greek yogurt, and an occasional dab of organic butter.

About 80% of our diet focused around these foods. So what else did we eat?

As with many things in life, the 80/20 rule worked for us!...

The other 20% consisted of beverages such as coffee (2 cups a day with creamer and stevia - no sugar), and about 3-6 beers per week -since it was hot in Mexico! Other foods included a few bananas and a little pineapple or berries, 3-4 ice cream bars per week, a couple of small chocolate bars, 4-6 corn tortillas (no wheat), a little deep fat fried fish (in our fish tacos), a little chipotle sauce, and one or two fast food meals like pizza, soda and fries!

How did we eat these foods and still lose weight?

Here are a few rules we followed:

Limiting sugar! We consumed no more than 30 grams of sugar per day- and ate it at one sitting, rather than eating sugar throughout the day. (30 grams equates to an ice cream bar or small chocolate bar). This helps avoid insulin spikes while eating meals. Now, it's not easy, since you have no sugar in your coffee and you don't eat many processed foods. We also limited fruits some because of the fructose, another form of sugar. This one guideline really helps you lose weight the most!

Limiting processed grains: While not as bad at producing insulin spikes, processed grains do add fat to your belly. This is partly because of the gluten they contain (think paste). Rice and corn doesn't have gluten, so those were our choices most often when we did eat. Breads made with sprouted grains are another good choice.

Eliminating most dairy: Consistent dairy consumption fattens you up, just like the baby cows. I made an exception with my creamer in my morning coffee - and with a little Greek Yogurt or occasional feta cheese. Salsa and pico does wonders for replacing cheese on many dishes.

That's it! We're happy to continue eating this way now, too. All told, Rich has lost 30 pounds in 4 months, I've lost 25 pounds, and we've never felt better!

Eating these foods tastes great, provides variety, feels good in your body - and you'll lose weight, too...simply by focusing on these top six foods for weight loss.

How to Lose Stomach Fat Without Dieting, Exercise or Using Pills

Is it really possible to lose excess stomach fat without dieting, exercise, and using pills? The answer is a powerful YES. You body will respond to the stimulus you constantly apply to it, thus making it easy for you to shift your weight just how you like it.

However, there is a secret to this that you must pay close attention to in this article. Although diet and exercising can help tremendously in your efforts to lose weight, following the rules I am about to give you will make the unwanted weight melt off and fast.

Portion Control

The first secret to losing stomach fat is to control the amount you take in through what is called portion control. The key here is to not over-indulge yourself in the foods that you eat. Although you are not going on a diet here, practicing this technique will help you shed weight, because you won't be packing in as much as you used to. Also, when it is time to eat, use smaller plates to make sure you won't go over board in excess eating.

Eat Fiber Early

Fiber is one of the main weight loss components that you must consume on a daily basis to get rid of excess stomach fat. The best time to eat fiber is actually in the morning, since this really kick starts your metabolism to start working for you throughout the day.
You can literally burn an extra 30-35 calories or more by starting this process early in the morning. Since fiber is not digestible, it must be filtered out through your colon, which aids in getting rid of toxicity in your body and fat.

Body Shapers

Body shapers are becoming well known in the world today as the cheapest, safest and most effective way to lose stomach fat without dieting, exercises, or pills. There are tons of so-called shapers out there that claim to do the trick, however, there is only one that help you lose inches and excess fat overtime, and it's called the Body Magic. It actually helps you get rid of adipose tissue, which cause the body to be toxic, and gets rid of it through the lymphatic system.

Losing excess weight only becomes a simple formula of eating the right foods combined with producing a calorie deficit, and exercising in order to speed up a stagnant metabolism. Once you master this formula, weight loss without pills becomes a cinch.
