Return To Bodybuilding Article Archive   3 Ways To Lose Weight Fast By Brad Howard For these people, Ive put together a short list of 3 ways to lose weight fast. How To Lose Weight Fast 1. Starve Yourself -- Of course, this isnt recommended for more reasons than the few Im about to give. You see, you can lose weight quickly by starving yourself but much of the weight that you lose comes in the form of either muscle mass or water. Do you get some fat loss with this method? Of course. But the metabolic change far outweighs any of the benefits that might come around. This loss of muscle mass is the primary reason most people gain all (if not more) of the weight back. This is not a good way to lose weight. 2. Steady-State cardio -- Most people begin this way of losing weight by being a little too crazy and trying to run or walk miles every day. However, the downfall of this method revolves around the fact that most peoples connective tissues (tendons, ligaments, etc), just cant sustain the level of banging around because its not used to it. Of all the ways to lose weight, this one typically lives the person feeling more disheartened than any other. Other things to consider with steady-state cardio: No afterburn effect -- The metabolic benefits of steady state cardio at a low intensity vanish relatively quickly after the workout is over. Sustained calorie burns reduce metabolism -- This type of behavior mimics starving yourself and your body tends to break down muscle to overcompensate. So whats the best way to lose weight fast? 3. Interval Training -- Out of all of the ways to lose weight, interval training represents an awesome way to go. Its challenging. You get the 'after burn' effect. Plus, with a higher metabolism, your diet doesnt have to be as strict. If youve never tried interval training, here is how this way of losing weight works. Basically, you go fast for a short time, then slow for a short time, fast, slow, fast, slow, until you are really breaking a sweat. Why should you try interval training? Well, it doesnt take as long... typically 10-20 minutes and you dont necessarily have to have any type of equipment either. So there you have it. Of all the ways to lose weight above, interval training should find its way into your routine.
