What’s the Quickest Way to Lose Weight?

If you want to see progress as quickly as one or two weeks, you have a lot of options. However, you don’t have many healthy options. Most of the options may work in the short term, but will eventually make you heavier, with more fat than you have now. Many of you will gravitate to those methods – it’s the path of least resistance. That said, eventually you’ll come back to see us. At some point you’ll get tired of the yo-yo.

The Best Healthy Plan for Losing Weight Quickly

The diet we use here at The Skinny School helps to heal your body from the effects of processed food while getting quick results. You’re going to eat a lot of whole foods like meats, healthy fats (olive oil, avocado), nuts, fruits, and vegetables. You’re going to ditch processed foods high in sugar, nasty fats, and grains.

For exercise, you’re going to do a lot of full body exercise that’s INTENSE. You can take a look at the best exercises for weight loss here.

Sucky Plans for Losing Weight Fast

There are a lot of ways to quickly lose weight. Some of them will ‘promise’ you that you can lose weight in as little as a week. The problem is that many of them will do significant damage to your body.

1. HCG

You can lose a lot of weight in a hurry doing an HCG diet but you will completely wreck your metabolism. Despite what HCG marketers will tell you, people who do HCG almost always end up with less muscle, more fat, and lower metabolisms than before they went on the diet. In other words, doing HCG will make you skinnier two weeks from now and a LOT fatter two months from now. It can become a vicious cycle of addiction because two months from now you’re going to want to lose the new weight you’ve gained. What a mess.

2. Low-Fat Diets

I know a lot of people who have lost weight on low fat diets. The problem with them is that our bodies use healthy fats to make hormones and a lot of other things that our bodies need. When we don’t eat fat, we can’t make those hormones. Two of my closest friends ended up with super low testosterone because of this issue. Guess what happens when your sex hormones get out of whack? You gain body fat.

3. Starvation Diets

Eating low calories will only temporarily help you to lose weight. After a few weeks, your weight loss will stall. In order to continue losing weight, you will need to continue to drop your calories. Eventually you will hit a place where you can’t restrict any more. Sadly, once you hit that point you will have to continue eating very few calories just to stay the same weight. Bad plan.
