5 Simple Steps to Losing Weight Quick
If you are carrying around a few (I use that term loosely) extra pounds like most of us are, you all know all the reasons why we should take the weight off. It will reduce stress on our heart, reducing the chance of heart disease, cancer, possibility of diabetes; feel better, look more attractive, etc.
There are 101 reasons why, but it can be a real pain to finally get that weight off. You push really hard, make a little progress, get side tracked, and bam you are heavier then you started.
It’s maddening. Enough with that hassle, I have put together 5 simple steps to actually losing weight and keeping it off. These steps can be applied to anything, but we are focusing on weight loss here.
1. Know What You Want
2. Know Where You Are
3. Track Your Results
4. Make Course Corrections
5. Being held Accountable
Now all your extra weight will effortlessly melt off. Yeah right! A simple list of 5 items is not going to do it, so let me explain the intricacies of the 5 items and where the hang up normally occurs when applied to losing weight.
1. Know What You Want
This one is dead simple. Most people that want to lose weight have an idea of how many pounds they would like to lose or how they would like their body to look.
I think we can safely say if your body started looking the way you wanted it, you would know, even if you didn’t have it completely mapped out and detailed.
2. Know Where You Are
This is the big trip up. It is almost always overlooked and is the number one reason for the up and down Yo Yo effect we experience with losing weight. We are unhappy with how our body feels and how it looks and it is painful to zoom in and get an accurate picture of where we are. Unfortunately, we have to know where we are, to be able to accurately judge the results we are getting.
You are on a trip to San Diego, California. You would like to start your trip from Phoenix, Arizona, but you really don’t know where you are. No problem. You get an Arizona/California map and find that a simple 6 hours trip west on interstate 8 will get you to San Diego.
6 hours later, you have no clue where you are and it is definitely not warm San Diego. You feel defeated and you want to give up! Do you blame the car? The stupid maps? San Diego? Yourself?
Now what if I told you, you were actually in New Your City, not Phoenix, Arizona. A 6 hour car ride west from New York City will never get you to San Diego.
If you took the time to accurately find out where you were, you would have been able to choose the appropriate means to get to San Diego and have an expectation as to how long it would take.
This is the same with weight loss and our personal physical condition. In our minds, we think we are starting in a different physical condition then we really are. When the results don’t follow the illusion in your mind, we get upset.
3. Track Your Results
This is conceptually simple. If we have no clue as to WHAT we are doing, how do we know what is working? It might be a simple to do, but is also simple not to do. In the end, most people never track their results.
4. Make Course Corrections
We love to do this one. We have it hands down. It is like step 1 of knowing what you want. We try the new food diet, the super sit up machine, and the cardio hip hop power energy yoga fat burner class.
We might be great at switching it up, but without knowing where we are starting from and a history of tracked results, we have no clue as to what we should change or even which direction we should go.
5. Being held Accountable
No, not accountability! That is an evil word. I don’t want someone to know what I am doing, or more importantly what I am not doing.
So, why do we resist accountability, your secret weapon to weight loss? Because it works! If you know someone is going to be watching, you would follow through or at least feel very uncomfortable not following through.
Accountability when used wisely is the ultimate turbo booster to your weight loss. Since you are going to be accountable anyway, you might as well get something out of it.
Using accountability up front, you can achieve the body of your dreams. If you let your body hold you accountable, it will throw on fat in places you don’t want it to be.
The biggest obstacle to weight loss is not taking any action. It doesn’t matter how good the plan is, it is worthless if you don’t follow it. So what do I do now?
First and foremost get Accountable.
Forward this article to someone you respect and care about and tell them I want to be accountable to finally taking off my extra pounds. When they agree to support you, start working through Steps 1 – 5.

Hoodia Gordonii- Lose Weight Naturally
Hoodia is comparable to a cactus, and generally grows in the ari regions of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. In the past decade, hoodia and its properties, have been heavily promoted for its weight loss properties and has become immensely popular.
Although the demand for diet pills has always been present, after the ban on the herb ephedra however, the current market has particularly been ripe for the next new diet pill.A lot of the plant's popularity is derived from claims that the San Bushmen of the Kalahari desert relied on hoodia for thousands of years to ward off hunger and thirst during long hunting trips. They were said to have cut off the stem and eat the bitter-tasting plant. Hoodia gordonii grows in clumps of green upright stems.
There are currently around 13 types of hoodia, and the only active ingredient identified so far is a steroidal glycoside that has been called "p57". Currently, only hoodia gordonii is thought to contain p57, which works as an appetite suppressant. Whenever taking Hoodia Diet Tablets before a meal, even a small meal leaves you with a feeling of getting more satisfied, which encourages you to eat smaller meals. Taking Hoodia Diet Tablets when you are hungry suppresses the feeling of hunger and so makes you less likely to snack between meals due to hunger.
In one study published in the September 2004 issue of Brain Research, it discovered found that injections of p57 into rat brains resulted in an altered level of ATP, an energy molecule that may affect hunger. The rats receiving the P57 injections also ate less than rats that received placebo injections. However, this was an animal study and injections in the brain are different from oral consumption, so it cannot be used to show that oral hoodia can suppress appetite in humans. Its original manufacturer, Phytopharm, cited a clinical trial involving 18 human volunteers that found hoodia consumption reduced food intake by about 1000 calories per day as compared to a placebo group.
Currently, Hoodia Gordonii diet pills or tablets sold contain extracts of Hoodia Cactus. The mature Hoodia plant can reach almost 6 feet in height and they are extremely difficult to cultivate. Hoodia gordonii is purely natural. It is not a drug, and has no stimulant properties. At present, there are no known side effects with Hoodia Gordonii, since it contains no Ephedra or Caffeine or any other stimulants.
There are a lot of species of hoodia, but the Gordonii variant is the only one that contains the all-natural appetite suppressant. The plant prevents overeating by mimicking the effect glucose has on the nerve cells in the brain and changing the signals that control appetite. Hoodia allows the user to have the freedom that you've always wanted to lose weight in the knowledge. By using Hoodia gordonii, you become comfortable in your current diets, and you'll never miss out on lunch, dinner, or any festive occasion again for fear of overeating.

Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks
Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks- an ambitious goal indeed, but by no means an unachievable one. By learning and applying the right techniques, you can indeed be 10 pounds lighter in 2 weeks time. Here are the keys to being able to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks.
Lose 10 Pounds In 2 Weeks-1
Calorie counting may be boring, but it does pay off. By knowing exactly how many calories you need, and how many you are taking in, you can plan your adjustments to have the best effect. A pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories, so if you can either cut that many calories out of your diet, or exercise to remove that much, then you will be one pound of weight nearer to your goal.
Lose 10 Pounds In 2 Weeks-2
Start to exercise. Doing the math will show you that you need to remove 35000 calories, either by exercising, or by cutting down on your food consumption, to lose the targeted 10 pounds. A typical human being of around 160 lbs will use 300+ calories by running gently for 30 minutes. A much heavier person will lose a lot more than that, but this illustrates how possible it is, with the right techniques and some determination, to get rid of a lot of excess weight.
Lose 10 Pounds In 2 Weeks-3
Try no to cut foods out completely. Assuming your favorite food is chocolate cake, you know that you will need to moderate your intake of it, as it will be impossible to sustain weight loss unless you do. However, if you cut it out completely, you will probably find yourself missing it too much, and the task of sticking to your program will be that much harder. The best solution is to keep your favorite foods to give yourself a treat when you manage to achieve one of your targets – the only problem could occur if you give yourself too big a reward, and end up eating the whole cake...
Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks-4
Keep going. Losing as much weight as 10 pounds in as short a time frame as 2 weeks is not easy, and it would be better to take a bit longer. If you were prepared to give yourself 4 or 5 weeks, your body would find it easier to tolerate the differing circumstances. Trying to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks is being very ambitious, so if you don't quite get there, don't worry about it. The end result should be in sight, so just keep going until you achieve it.
Attempting to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks is a very ambitious task, and you will probably find it harder than you were expecting, so I wish you every success, and trust you found the tips helpful. Click the links below for more useful hints.
