Fasting for Weight Loss -A Quick Weight Loss Diet Plan

First the good news. You have successfully identified part of the major dynamic that causes us to gain weight, namely, we eat too darn much.

Next, the bad news.
Fasting or more accurately termed a starvation diet can produce very fast weight loss. Understand however, the risks to your health are many and some are potentially very serious. Fast too long and your body starts to eat away not fat but muscle. And you haven't lived until you've had a good time with kidney stones. The pain is absolutely unbelievable and it's no fun to pass them either. So any starvation type diet that doesn't consider maintaining adequate vitamins, minerals, nutrients, carbohydrates and proteins should be considered dangerous to your health.

Add to this that there is no way that you can maintain a fast long term. Once you go back to your normal eating habits, you can expect to put all the weight lost through starving back on, and probably a few more pounds. You get the extra poundage, because your body has just experienced starvation and will want to be certain that it is protected if it happens again. A quick weight loss diet is worthless if you just gain all the weight right back. Think long terms success

Fasting and weight loss seem to go together because it's part of the two fold strategy that's guaranteed to always be effective in work. That is, eat less and exercise more.

While fasting and many other diets address the "eat less" part of the equation, there are all sorts of crazy notions on how to go about losing weight by fasting Beyonce Knowles who recently appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, used the Lemonade Fast and claims to have lost 20 pounds in two weeks.

What wasn't very well explored however, was her admitted irritability while on the diet, the exercise program that was also used, a nutritionalist that monitored her health, or the fact that she immediately put that 20 pounds back on.

That said, fasting can be part of an overall change in eating habits and be safe as well. Fasting for very short periods of time, like a day or two, can actually jumpstart your metabolism. A fast should only be attempted under the care of a qualified medical physician. You don't want to end up being the thinnest corpse in the graveyard. A fast weight loss diet to be effective must help you keep the weight off. Just losing and gaining doesn't help your body to become health.

The most successful weight loss plans help you to lose weight naturally by changing not only your eating habits but also increasing your exercise patterns.
