Best Weight Loss Product

What is the one product that will help us lose weight faster than any other?  I know when people ask that question they are looking for the answer to be some weight loss supplement or fat burner or diet pill.  We have this fascination with the magic pill.  Although we have taken 5 or 10 years to put on the extra and unwanted fat that we are carrying we expect some magic pill to make it all go away in a couple of weeks.  If this is what you believe, you are in for a rude awakening.  The best weight loss product is not what you think.

In fact, some of your may leave this article right now since you have surmised that I am not going to tell you about the “magic pill.”  Let me burst your bubble.  There is no such pill or product. Much of the products on the market that promise great weight loss are deceptive, damaging or just outright lies.  Diet pills have been known to dehydrate you and give you the impression that you lost weight fast.  What you did was lose water, not fat.  There is a big difference.

Appetite suppressants want to keep you from eating.  I challenge you to find one weight loss expert who will tell you to not eat as a way of losing weight.  You may want to cut back on how much you consume but if you begin to cut meals out altogether you will ultimately get fatter.  You will slow your metabolism down and the cut in calories won’t benefit you.

Fat burners and other weight loss supplements may do damage to your body.  If you don’t believe it then maybe you should consider the examples of Phen Phen, Hydroxycut or Ephedra.  The best weight loss product is not a pill.

What you need is something that will accomplish two things at once.  You need a product that can get your heart rate elevated to enable you to burn calories effectively and a product that will help you build muscle.  What does muscle have to do with weight loss, you ask?  The more muscle you have the more calories you burn.  Muscle requires more energy (calories) to maintain it than fat does.  You need to build muscle.  It raises your metabolism.

Well, what product can do this?  I believe the best weight loss product on the market in the TRX Suspension Trainer.  It provides a great metabolic workout and helps to build muscle all at the same time.  Of course, it does require you to get up and do something.   I am shocked how people will not spend $160 on a product that you will have forever and will provide lasting fat loss (and self esteem) but they will spend hundreds on supplements that will not provide any lasting results.  Check out the TRX Suspension Trainer in the videos below.  In my book it is the best weight loss product you can buy.

How To Lose Weight Naturally

If you are like me you don’t like to put too many foreign substances into your body.  I am not a fan a prescription medication and I have never taken a weight loss supplement or fat burner in my life.  You just never know if what is in them will have an adverse effect on you.  However, despite our best efforts sometimes we will still pack on a few unwanted pounds leaving us to ponder the question of how to lose weight naturally.

There are no secrets to weight loss.  Despite what many radio or television commercials tell you there is not a need to fill your body with supplements.  You can lose weight naturally if you will construct a diet and exercise program around the following key components.

Eat less but eat more often.  OK, that probably sounds like a paradox, however, let’s break down the statement.  You need to eat less during the day then you normally do.  In other words, take in fewer calories.  If you drink a lot of soft drinks then cut htem out.  Avoid candy and other junk food.  If it is your habit to eat a bag of chips while watching television you will need to put an end to that as well.  Instead of having seconds at the dinner table leave after one plate.  Instead of heaping portions on your plate take moderate portions instead.  Eat less.  But eat more frequently.

Your current practice may be to eat three times a day.  Increase that to five meals per day but make them smaller.  I realize that most cannot bring two extra meals with them to work but you can at least bring two pieces of fruit.  Eat one mid morning and eat the other mid afternoon.  This will help keep your metabolism at a higher level.  Never skip a meal.  This will work against you.

Another tip on how to lose weight naturally is to exercise at least 20 -25 minutes per day.  Calories are consumed when you workout.  Perform a mix of cardio from jogging to jumping rope to jump squats.  Perform this cardio in an interval fashion.  In other words, jog for 90 seconds then sprint for 30 seconds then jog for 90 seconds then sprint for 30 seconds.  Rinse and repeat.  I think you get the picture.

If one is truly concerned with how to lose weight naturally then they must incorporate a weight lifting routine into their exercise routine.  If you do nothing but cardio you will begin to eat your muscle.  You want to build muscle and this is accomplished through strength training.  The more muscle you have on your body the more calories you will burn.  It takes more calories to maintain one pound of muscle than it does to maintain one pound of fat.

Which Weight Loss Exercise Programs are Best?

It is not news to you when I tell you that there is a plethora of weight loss exercise programs out on the market today.  It should also not come as a surprise that some of  these are good and others not so good.  When searching for such a program you want to find those that are based in science and an understanding of how your body works.   Do not spend your time or your money on gimmicky programs.

The first thing you want to look at when you are evaluating wegiht loss exercise programs is whether or not the program has both a diet and exercise component to it.  If it only has a diet component  or likewise if it only has an exercise component then steer away from such programs.

The second thing that you should look for is to see if it has weight training as part of its exercise program.  Muscle building is essential for not only your overall fitness levle but also for your ability to lose weight.  The more muscle you have the more calories you will burn.  Needless to say, the more calories you burn the more weight you will lose.

As mentioned, there are a number of programs that have flooded the marketplace.  But the question remains which are the best weight loss exercise programs?  The best that I have run across is a program called Warp Speed Fat Loss 2.0.  I like this program for a few reasons.

The first is that the two individuals who created are well respected in the fitness world.  Alwyn Cosgrove and Mike Roussell are the creators of Warp Speed Fat Loss.  Cosgrove is a fat loss guru if there ever was one.  His clients have had tremendous success using these very methods.

Roussell is a nutritionist who brings together the diet program necessary to help you reach your weight loss goals.  The two of them team up to form a powerful one-two punch against the unwanted fat you are carrying around.

The second reason I like this program is that it heavily incorporates strength training.  I cannot stress the importance of this.  In order to achieve the body you have envisioned in your head you must add strength training.  If you don’t then there is a good chance that not only will you lose fat but you will lose muscle as well.

The third reason is that it incorporates the principle of EPOC.  EPOC stands for Exercise Post Oxygen Consumption.  It is a fancy term to let you know that it is possible to continue to burn calories even after exercise is done.  To accomplish this it uses high intensity cardio and even cardio like weight lifting sessions.  These workouts will take the calories burning ability of your body to higher levels.

So check it out.  Not only is Warp Speed Fat Loss among the best weight loss exercise program.  I believe it is the best.
