When you go on a weight loss diet, you want your weight loss to be as fast as possible. This isn't easy for most people to do and so they decide that it's impossible, and that the only way to lose weight is slowly. But I can say from personal experience that this isn't true. If you make some small adjustments to your nutrition, frame of mind and make the right choice as to which diet plan to use, you too can enjoy a fast weight loss process.
Here are some simple steps you can take to improve your chances to achieve a fast weight loss:
1. Have faith - If you don't believe that you can lose weight fast, you never will. What we can achieve is often limited by what we believe we can achieve. Other people have manged to lose weight fast and so can you.
2. Don't settle for a slow weight loss - Every once in a while you should weigh yourself. If you're not pleased with your results, think back on the period of time which passed since your previous weigh-in. If you feel that there is something which you could have done better, make sure to correct it from now on. Note: I am not encouraging you to starve yourself. Continue to follow a sensible diet.
3. Avoid artificial supplements - Many dietary supplements, such as no sugar sweeteners, contain artificial ingredients which can hinder your weight loss efforts. Stick to natural supplements.
4. Don't eat in front of the TV - I want you to be concentrated on your food when you eat so you know exactly how much you're taking in at all times.
5. Spend some time each evening out of your house - Being away from your house is also being away from your fridge. You can take a walk, sit in the park, read on a bench, whatever you like to do, just make a routine out of it.
Follow the above 5 tips and you will have a greater chance of a fast weight loss

Calorie Shifting - What is it Exactly?
Calorie Shifting has become one of the hottest topics of debate in the weight loss industry. But what is Calorie Shifting and how does it work?
Calorie Shifting was developed as a solution to the barrage of what I call "Low Something Diets". You know what I mean: every where you turn is another low this and low that diet. Once it's a low fat diet, another time it's low carb or even NO carb. There are diets which proclaim that they hold the solution to your weight problems because they are low calorie diets. You get the picture.
For a while, some of these diets seemed to work. People reported an early fat loss at a good rate. It was what happened a few weeks or months down the line that was troubling: those same people who lost weight in the beginning, ended up gaining it all back and then some. It didn't happen to all of them, but the statistics state that 95% of diets fail and people end up fatter than they started.
Wondering why this happened? The reason is simple: when you deprive your body of a certain food group like carbs or drastically cut down on the amount of calories you eat, your metabolism slows down. You see, your metabolism thinks you're starving, as if you were in the wild nature, and in order to make sure that your energy deposits last as long as possible, it slows down. It's a protective mechanism which is biologically active in all of us.
The challenge was to create a system in which your metabolism will remain running high but in which you'll still lose fat fast. That's how Calorie Shifting came to be. Calorie Shifting is a way in which you constantly rotate your food thereby tricking your metabolism so it remains running high and burning a lot of fat.
Calorie Shifting works by getting you to eat the right food at specific times of the day and then by roatating it so your metabolism never gets used to any routine. The good thing is that because your metabolism keeps on running high, you don't have to dperive your body of any food groups or eat an absurdly low amount of calories. Becuase your metabolism is high all the time, you don't gain all the weight back the moment you stop being on a diet.
It is hard to get yourself to carry out the Calorie Shifting method by yourself because you need to create an expert menu which is based on this system. It is usually done by a special software. As far as I know, the only diet that uses Calorie Shifting is the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet.
