Hi.  Sue here,

This is my story, if you just want to know how I finally managed to lose weight quickly please click here.

If you want to know how to loose weight fast, then I’m glad that you found this website and I strongly suggest that you keep reading…

Because this is my uncensored - how to lose weight fast - story.  The ups, the downs, what stuff didn’t work and finally the one thing that did help me achieve my goal of losing weight fast.

I let myself slip a bit after having my two kids, to be honest, I was never able to get rid of the weight that I put on during my pregnancy.  There always seemed to be too much to do looking after the family that the last thing on my mind was how much I was eating.

The passion in our relationship started suffering. At first I put it down to the stress of having a family and 2 children to support but then my husband started going out in the evenings and not getting home till late.

At this stage I began to realize that maybe I was not presenting myself in the best light for him, I wasn’t attractive enough any more to get his attention.  I started looking at a healthy diet to lose some pounds and the best foods to eat to lose weight. Unfortunately he didn’t like them as they didn’t taste as good so it was back to the old routine.  I took the kids out walking, after all it was good exercise for them as well as for me.  It just didn’t seem possible to lose fat permanently.

Then one day, the horrible truth, my husband told me that he was leaving me for a younger, slimmer woman.  Well, he didn’t tell me in those words but by then I knew the reason.  I decided that I would do all that I could to get him back and, instead of moping around, I decided to take some action to discover how to get some long term weight loss.

I bought a couple of books they talked about on the TV; I joined Weight Watchers and went to a gym.  Then I stumbled across Strip That Fat on the internet.  At first I was put off because the cost was in dollars.  Then I realized that American people are just as concerned about diet as we are here so I decided to get my credit card out and buy it.

I hope that you found this useful but hope that your situation hasn’t got as bad as mine did.  If you want to check it out yourself feel free to click here.

Oh, I should add that I never did get my husband back but, because of my new self confidence, I met a fantastic man who treats me better any way and appreciates the new slim line Sue.

So obesity has clearly reached epidemic proportions in the U.S., and the healthcare costs associated with it now rival those attributable to smoking. These costs were estimated to be $92.6 billion in 2002–9.1% of all health care costs–and they continue to escalate rapidly. Comparable costs associated with smoking were estimated to be between 6.5% and 14.4% in 2002. The Centers for Disease Control have announced that obesity could become the nation’s leading cause of preventable deaths by 2005. According to a recent estimate, obesity accounts for approximately 280,000 deaths each year in the U.S.

This epidemic is not confined to adults but tragically is afflicting children as well. Childhood obesity increased from 5 percent in 1964 to 13 percent in 1994. Today, it is estimated to be about 20 percent–and rising.

Diseases for which obesity is a significant risk factor include: Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart attack, congestive heart failure, cancer, gallstones, gout, osteoarthritis, and sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, pulmonary problems, reproductive problems in women, and depression.

In this era of skyrocketing healthcare costs, it’s urgently clear, then, that more effective methods are needed for preventing and reversing this very major contributor to our escalating healthcare crisis.

The above data are especially astounding in the face of the fact that Americans are spending in excess of $50 billion annually on diet products. In view of the ongoing epidemic summarized above, this investment has obviously been highly unsuccessful. As has been pointed out in one study, for example, the price per pound lost in one well-known weight loss program amounts to $180!

Not only is there overwhelming evidence that diets don’t work in the long run, but of even more concern is the strong evidence that they can actually contribute to further weight gain and decline in health. There is recent evidence, for example, that yo-yo dieting weakens the immune system by as much as 30%.

A search of the research literature on weight loss strongly supports the general conclusion that key lifestyle and dietary changes are absolutely necessary to long-term success. Here is a fairly comprehensive listing of these essential changes:

1. Eat a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits.
2. Boost protein intake to build and preserve lean muscle tissue.
3. Use fiber-rich foods, which are more filling and promote health.
4. Boost calcium and other minerals to help shed unwanted fat.
5. Increase intake of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids by eating fish, flax, and nuts.
6. Eat only minimal amounts of “junk” carbs, containing sugar and white flour.
7. Greatly reduce–or eliminate–saturated and trans fats that are loaded with harmful fatty acids.
8. Reduce or eliminate alcohol.
9. Reduce the amount of food eaten gradually to avoid the adverse effects of sudden dieting.
10. Eat frequent, small snacks, instead of large meals, to maximize calories burned for energy.
11. Be sure to eat a healthy breakfast to avoid difficulty in controlling appetite later in the day.
12. Be sure to exercise for a half-hour, at least 3 times a week.
13. Gradually boost exercise frequency and intensity for even greater effects.
14. Practice stress reduction to reduce the over-production of cortisol, which promotes weight gain.
15. Expose yourself to the sun for at least 15 minutes each day and get adequate sleep.
16. Incorporate all of these changes into your lifestyle and maintain them persistently.

Some people, however, in spite of making these changes and maintaining them rigorously still experience limited success in losing excess weight and keeping it off.

Lucy Beale, a nationally-known author and weight loss consultant for nearly twenty years, addressed this issue in her recent newsletter:

“For years, I’ve watched some of my clients do seemingly everything ‘right’ to loose weight–eating 0-5, eating low-glycemic foods, exercise–and yet they don’t loose pounds or inches. This situation is frustrating for me and certainly for them. I’ve been ‘wishing and hoping’ to find a fat-loss product that I could whole-heartedly recommend.

“When I couldn’t find any viable products to recommend, I spoke with several alternative health practitioners about developing a natural weight-loss product that was: A) safe; B) effective; C) non-addictive; D) worked for most people; and E) provided long-term health benefits. But nothing ever came of our efforts. . .

“Then, in September 2004, a friend told me about the Nexagen Fat-Loss Patch. I’ve done my homework on the patch and my research indicates the patch is safe, effective, and health promoting. I was so excited that I asked some of my clients to try it out. They loved it. They were eating less, found it easier to eat 0-5, had fewer cravings, felt better emotionally, and even wanted to exercise. They lost inches and weight. Many were able to reduce the dosage of medications they were taking for such health conditions as asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, diabetes, and thyroid disorders. People who wear the patch for at least 3-6 months are experiencing satisfying results. . .”

The Fat Loss Patch that Lucy is referring to here is a unique new approach to assisting weight loss and maintenance. Unlike the vast majority of previous diet products containing ephedra, synephrine, or other harmful stimulants, this patent-pending transdermal patch employs Forslean, a patented derivative from an Asian herb, Coleus forskohlii, which has been used for centuries to treat cardiovascular disorders and other health problems. Recent research has now shown that it is also effective in burning fat, while preserving lean muscle, and in curbing food cravings. It also has the added health benefits of supporting thyroid functioning and and helping to reduce blood pressure.

Its mechanism of action in promoting fat burning in the body is also unlike that of all previous thermogenic, or fat-burning, products. The main active ingredient in Forslean activates a very important enzyme, Adenylate cyclase which is involved in the production of Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP). This “second messenger,” as it is called in the research literature, is indispensable to many important body functions. One of these is to help maintain a healthy body composition by burning fat while preserving lean body mass.

Combined with the dietary and lifestyle changes summarized above, the Fat Loss Patch is finally making it possible for nearly anyone to attain–and maintain–a healthy body weight.

Someone once suggested that a sensible diet would be the caveman diet.  “What on earth is that” I asked.  “Well, perhaps we should all eat what the cavemen ate”.  When you think about it their diet probably consisted of things that they found growing in the land back before they started cultivation and growing it themselves.  I’m sure that they ate things like fruit, vegetables, herbs, leaves and berries.  I wonder how they decided which ones were safe to eat and which ones were poisonous.  Perhaps there were a few deaths from stomach illness……..  Anyway we have a lot to thank them for.

The second part of their healthy food regime was meat from the animals they hunted.  This must have had two effects.  Firstly it makes me believe that we should be eating meat as that is what they did but secondly think of all the natural exercise that they got from chasing all those animals.  They must have been pretty fit and healthy for all those chases.  This should form a basis of all our diets - a combination of healthy eating and exercise.

A lot of the recent ideas for dieting seem to revolve around celebrities and  film stars.  Remember the Hollywood diet.  That is the kind I am thinking about.  I wonder whether the celebs actually do follow the diets that they promote.  I doubt it very much.  Nevertheless they are usually a good example of being slim and one can’t imagine them needing to lose weight.

Diets have been developed by recommending that only a group of foods should be eaten.  There has been a no carbohydrate diet, only carb diets, protrin only and no protein.  How can anyone actually figure that out.

There have been so many diets offered in the past and yet more and more people are fat than ever before. In the US 64% of people are overweight with 27% actually being classed as obese. In Europe 48%, almost half, should be looking for an easy way to lose weight fast.

Health services around the world struggle to cope with, and spend a lot of money helping people who should be able to put together a sensible weight loss plan themselves. But it is not easy to lose weight, actually, it is short term, the challenge is in keeping the weight off and staying slim long term.

After all the money that the hospitals spend, it is estimated that around 400,000 people die every year because of obesity. Makes you want to know how to loose weight fast doesn’t it?
