For any quick weight loss diet to really work, there are three key concepts that you have to understand. These key concepts are:
Know the exact foods that cause accelerated fat burning in YOUR BODY.
Know which particular foods are preventing YOUR BODY from burning fat.
Know and understand how to put the right foods together to create a fat burning effect in YOUR BODY.
Anybody that can learn, understand, and utilize these three concepts can lose weight quickly.
In this article, I want to quickly touch base on the #2 concept: Know which particular foods are preventing YOUR BODY from burning fat.
Here is a quick weight loss diet secret that may surprise you: Many of the nutritional foods that are touted to be healthy and low fat are actually preventing you from losing weight!
What are some of these foods that I am talking about?
Orange juice, whole wheat bread, healthy cereals, low fat muffins, granola, whole grain pasta, processed soy products, artificial sweeteners, whole grain crackers…just to name a few and there are many more!
The problem with these type of foods is that while your body is digesting them, your body is converting them into sugar…the #1 enemy on any diet!
Surprised?! Well, I was and I bet many of you are too.
Listen, I could go on and on, but it would be easier for you and me if you go to this LINK and listen to a 26 minute video that explains all of this in much more detail.
Yes, of course, this video was produced to promote a quick weight loss diet program called The Diet Solution, but even if you don’t invest in this dieting program, you’ll learn a lot of intersting things. Things like:
Counting Calories is the wrong thing to do.
Eating smaller amounts of food is the wrong thing to do.
This blog promotes a number of very special quick weight loss diets. It doesn’t matter which one of these diets that you are using…rather it be the Fat Burning Furnace, Fat Loss 4 Idiots, or Strip That Fat… you can use this fat burning secret trick to help you lose weight on any of these diets.
Here’s the trick…
The next time you take a shower, start out with a mixture of warm and cold water. While standing under the shower (with the water directed at your neck and shoulders), slowly turn the warm water off…not too fast now! Once you have completely shut the warm water off, remain in the cold shower for about 30 seconds…now, you’re done!
I bet you will feel energized and full of vitality…not to mention that you’re on your way to losing more weight. Want to know why? Do you want the secret to this little trick?
There are a number of different types of fat in the human body, but two of them come into play in this trick…White Fat Tissue and Brown Fat Tissue.White Fat Tissue is what we generally call “fat” and it sits on your belly, thighs, butt, and hips. This is the fat that we are so desperately trying to get rid of when we are on a quick weight loss diet. We burn this fat when we exercise.
On the other hand, Brown Fat Tissue contains higher concentrations of Mitochondria which can be thought of as mini “power stations”. One of the roles of Brown Fat Tissue is to burn White Fat Tissue so that it can be used as energy.
Have you ever wondered why infants look so plump and fat? Well, one reason is that infants have a higher percentage of Brown Fat Tissue in their little bodies. This helps their bodies stay warm after be welcomed into this new world.
Until recently, it was believed that Brown Fat Tissue just disappeared in the human body as it matured. But, this just isn’t so. Although in smaller amounts, Brown Fat Tissue is stored in the human neck, shoulders, and upper body.
Have you ever jumped into a cold pool of water and you suddenly feel frozen? If you stay in that water for a few minutes, you feel warmer. One reason for that is that your blood vessels open up and lets more blood flow through your body. But, another reason for that is that the cold water energizes the Brown Fat Tissue which triggers the White Fat Tissue to burn fat.
Pharmaceutical companies are working feverishly to develop a new quick weight loss diet “pill” to take advantage of this phenomenon…but, they haven’t done it yet. Besides, you don’t need that pill because you can use this trick and it doesn’t cost you anything.
I hope you enjoyed this quick weight loss diet trick. And, if you’re interested, you can learn 101 other tricks in a book written by Jeff Anderson called DO THIS…BURN FAT.
Holy Cow…this story was hard to believe. A friend of mine and fitness author Jon Benson just finished a 8-day business vacation and during that time he LOST 11 lbs of body fat while on his new quick weight loss diet. He sent me an email telling me how he did it and here’s a copy of that email… Enjoy!
****************
Dear Jhoe,
It was the weirdest thing …
I mean, I’ve been around you know? I’ve had just about every body and fatloss experience you can think of… the good, the bad, the ugly…
… and now the really bizarre.
Here’s the story:
I took off on an 8-day cruise to the Caribbean. This was a “business” cruise (yeah, right)… and I knew there was no way to eat the way I prefer to eat. At least not ideally. After that I had to speak in Tampa Florida at a fitness summit, then off to Las Vegas for yet another summit meeting.
All-in-all I was gone for almost three weeks.
First thing that I knew had to go was my “ideal” dietplan.
That’s my “Extreme” Plan on the Every Other Day Dietplan…
There are three plans in EODD:Â The Primer Plan, which is literally “every other day”. You get to eat your favorite foods within reason every other day or so on this Plan. It’s perfect for folks who ‘hate’ dieting because, let’s face it, anyone can diet-for a day, right? Right.
Then there’s the Lifestyle Plans. These are two days of “burn eating” followed by a day of eating favorite foods. Most people use this because it too is so simple to use.
Then for we athletes and fitness pros there’s the Extreme Plan. This is for ultimate body fat loss and muscle-shaping. I love this plan.
But hey… it’s a vacation. And so I decided to eat on the Primer Plan… remember, that’s every other day. So every other day on the cruise I had a small dessert (sometimes two), pizza, or pasta… whatever I wanted within reason. The days before I did perfectly, substituting my morning shake for egg white omelets with a bit of cheese and a lot of veggies. Yum!
Within three days I had LOST more than 4 lbs… or about 2 kg. Pure fat… well, a bit of water I suppose, but mostly that stubborn body fat around my middle that’s the last to go.
What the heck was going on?
Wait… the story gets better…
I move on to Tampa, and then Vegas, and now I’m 11 lbs (about 5 kg) down. My jeans ALL require a belt, only this time it’s not a fashion statement.
Frankly, I’m as surprised as you may be.
But I figured out why this happened. And I want to share it with you so you can use EODD (or another plan if you want… but mine is the best… : ) when you go on vacation or take a break.
Here’s why I dropped the last bit of my body fat:
First, I was on a VERY large cruise ship. I knew my weight training would not be as intense (the weights were not that heavy) but I also knew I could just make it work… train a bit more and go for the “pump”… just a good, quick workout. I ended up training 5 days on the cruise without a problem (and only ONE day of cardio for 20 minutes… you see, you do NOT need cardio to dump body fat!)
But the difference was in the WALKING. The ship was the largest ever built… the size of 2.5 football fields. And I walked everywhere… on the islands, on the boat, even to every meal. Just walking burned off FAR more calories than my normal lifestyle, which like most of you has a lot of sitting down to it. ; )
Walking… my favorite “Cardio” to this very day.

My Supplement Tricks
————————————————————|
Second, I took extra potassium, along with all of my Radical Fatloss Blueprint Supplements. I carried them all on board.
You can read more about the supplements I take for “radical” fatloss here:
The two that really did the trick for me was the Aqualize (also known as Acquacil), only 1-2 a day, along with the amino acids.
Finally, I realized that I need MORE food than I’m eating now in order to increase my metabolic rate. Just a bit… about 400 calories a day more than I have been eating. Doing just that rebooted my metabolic rate and presto… 11 lbs of body fat and useless water is history. My abs have never looked better.
I hope this gives you some encouragement when it comes to being on the road or on vacation. With the right plan (like EODD and Radical Fatloss) you can actually improve your body…
… and best of all, I enjoyed every minute of my vacation!
Jhoe, I’ll see you next week.
Yours In Fitness,
J O NÂ Â B E N S O N
P.S. An important note was that I made a decision not to drink on the cruise or elsewhere. I had one small glass of wine last night to celebrate with my largest affiliate and business comrade. He flew in from Israel just for this meeting, and it was the least i could do. Roei and I had a blast all day.
The reason drinking is a problem is that alcohol shuts down fat-burning for several hours… sometimes longer. But a glass of wine or two a week is not going to hurt you. I just made that one small “sacrifice” so I could enjoy ice cream, pizza (I ate four slices one night at 3:00am and woke up leaner!) and all the yummy food the boat had to offer.
So, my final tip:Â Make a decision to cut out just ONE thing when you’re on the road. Alcohol was easy for me as I do not drink that much as it is.
Read more about my personal dietplan and my supplement plan here….
Do you have certain areas on your body where you need to lose pounds of fat while the rest of your body looks just fine? Perhaps your belly, your love-handles, or your upper thighs? There is a reason for this if you have this problem…it’s your hormones.
Hormones effect every metabolic process in your body. Hormones can help you gain muscle and/or store fat. And, depending upon the type and level of your hormones, different parts of your body are affected.
For example, if you need to lose pounds around your belly area, you probably have excessive levels of a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone and leads to belly fat.
Excessive fat in the love-handle area is caused by excessive amounts of insulin and excessive amounts of fat in the upper thighs is caused by estrogen…that’s why so many women have this problem.
If hormones are causing you a weight problem, dieting and normal exercises will never solve the problem. You may lose weight by dieting, but you will still have problems in your belly, love-handles, and upper thigh areas.
So, how do you fix these problems?
Well, these problems are caused by excessive amounts of these hormones being produced within your body. And, while your body is causing this problem, your body can also “reverse engineer” these problems.
Watch this video to get a better idea on what I’m talking about:
Managing your hormones is not something that you have ever heard very much about, but why do you think people are continually complaining about their weight? That’s right…because what they have been trying just hasn’t worked.

Lose pounds faster…using a different, but better way!
Obesity rates have soared since the early 1980′s and they don’t seem to be slowing down. Why? Well, there are a number of reasons, but here is one Fat Loss Secret I want to expose right now:
MYTH – Low-fat diets lead to weight loss and a healthier lifestyle
This myth has been preached to us over-and-over again and it is absolutely wrong! This is one reason our nation is beginning to make the Pillsbury Doughboy look slim.
This myth started in the 1980′s when it was believed that too much fat in our diets was the cause of weight gain. This led to the development of all kinds low-fat versions of perfectly nutritious foods such sour cream, yogurt, cheese and hundreds of others.
The problem is that while the manufacturers reduced the fat, they replaced it with carbohydrates, starch, and sugars to make the products taste better. The result…one of today’s obesity problems.
Plus, it’s also one of the causes for the increased rate of heart attacks. Low-fat foods still contain unhealthy doses of saturated and trans fat.
What is even worst, people see the terms “low-fat” and/or “fat-free” and take that as a green light to eat as much as they want. Researchers at the Journal of Marketing Research found that people ate 28% more chocolate if the chocolate had the term “low-fat” or “reduced fat” attached to the label.
Shocking!
This short video will expose some more facts about this Fat Loss Secret:
Low-fat foods are certainly not the only cause for obesity…it’s only one of many. However, it’s myths like these that led me to support a number of different diets on this blog.
For example, one of them…Fat Loss 4 Idiots…is aware of these myths and provides a dieting program that walks the dieter around these problems. I don’t have to learn all of these fat loss secrets by myself, all I have to do is follow the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program.
I was wondering my way through the internet the other day…looking for information on quick diets.
You know me (and, if you don’t, you should know me by now), I’m fascinated by quick weight loss programs that really work and especially those that won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
I came across an article published on Buzzle…it was the article’s headline that caught my attention. The article was called “Why Fat Loss 4 Idiots Might Be Wrong For You“. That caught my attention, because as most of you know, I had used the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet plan to lose the 35 pounds that I’ve now lost. So, I had to find out what this author found wrong with this quick weight loss diet plan.
Thinking that you might also like to read that article, I’ve posted that article below. Here it is:
Why Fat Loss 4 Idiots May Be Wrong For You
Fat loss 4 idiots is not for everyone. I have found a few flaws in the diet that may make it not good for you.
When I first looked at the Fat Loss for idiots diet I was really skeptical. The last thing that I want to see as a fitness and health expert is a bunch of people starving themselves and getting unhealthy in the search for some magical 5 pounds or more a week weight loss.
First you eat until you are satisfied so there is not binge eating. Next there is the whole cycled diet where you stay on the diet for a few days and then you go off the diet for four days. And finally there is a diet generator that creates a good diet for you by asking you what you like and what you do not like.
But of course there are drawbacks to anything and this diet is especially tough for some. Here are the drawbacks and why Fat Loss 4 Idiots may not be for you.
The dreaded all fruit day – Some people just do not like fruit a lot and there is one day where you eat nothing but fruit. This does make things difficult as you need to follow the diet exactly
Not a lot of exercise – If you live a very active lifestyle you will find that you may not have the energy that you are used to on the fat loss for idiots diet. There are not enough calories for an athlete and as a bodybuilder you would find the carbs too high still if you are cutting up for a contest.
No Alcohol allowed – Actually you can have one drink a day but for many people used to consuming 2 or more drinks a day this cutback along with the weight loss and the stress of a changed diet may be too much to bear.
Other than these three restrictions to the fat loss 4 idiots diet , I believe you will probably find that the diet works for the majority of people trying to lose 20 or 30 pounds.
Well I was proven wrong. I posted a review of the fat loss 4 idiots diet -you can read those reviews,and was buried in responses from people telling me that they were skeptical as well but the diet did work for them. Once I dug deeper into Fat Loss 4 Idiots I found that there were a couple of things that made the diet make sense for losing weight.
After reading Bill’s article, I was pleased. You see, there are not many restrictions on this diet, it just works! Follow this quick diet plan and you will lose weight!
Lose up to “12 pounds per month without dieting and without additional exercise“. That’s a bold statement…but the manufacturers of this quick weight loss diet supplement back that statement up with a Money Back Guarantee.
I haven’t tried this supplement because I’ve lost the 24 pounds of extra fat that I had when I started this blog. I lost it using the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet…one of those diets that I regularly promote on this website. But, if you don’t want to try the Fat Loss 4 Idiots, the Fat Burning Furnace, or the Strip That Fat diet, you may want to try this quick weight loss diet supplement.
The supplement is called African Mango Plus and its use is spreading rapidly…particularly around Hollywood.
This supplement is made by using the seeds of the African Mango. This tree is grown exclusively in the west-coastal rainforests in Cameroon, Africa. Supposedly, these seeds have been used for centuries by villagers in that area for the seeds medicinal benefits.
The weight loss properties of the African Mango is attributed to it’s ability to increase the amount of Leptin in your bloodstream. Increased amounts of Leptin naturally increases your metabolism.
This increase in metabolism leads to an increase in fat oxidation, greater energy, lower fatigue, and weight loss.Watch this short video on this quick weight loss diet supplement:
So, if you want to lose weight and you don’t want to use one of the diets that I sponsor on this website, you may want to try African Mango Plus. It’s a quick weight loss diet supplement that the manufacturer supports with a Money Back Guarantee.
(P.S. – Don’t hesitate to use that guarantee if you don’t see the results you were looking for!)
There are three ways to lose weight … consume fewer calories, burn more calories, or a combination of these two. A combination of the first two is the quickest way to lose weight and that’s what the diet programs that I support on this blog show you how to do.
But, for those of you that want to do it on you own, let me show you some ways to lose weight fast by burning more calories.
Remember when you were a kid you could eat almost anything you wanted and you just didn’t seem to gain weight? Now, that just doesn’t seem to be the case anymore…you keep having to buy a bigger belt size.
All of this is related to your metabolism. As you grow older your metabolism slows down…this is largely due to a decrease in muscle mass.Well, speed up your metabolism! Here are 5 ways to lose weight fast by increasing your metabolism:
Drink More Caffeinated Coffee
The journal Physiology & Behavior reported that those that drink caffeinated coffee maintain a metabolic rate nearly 16% higher than those that don’t drink caffeinated coffee. So, drink more of it and spread it out throughout the day to maintain that higher metabolic rate…just quit early enough so that you can go to sleep at night.
Opt for a Big Breakfast
Forget about that skim milk and a bowl of oatmeal. Studies have shown that people who consume 23% to 55% of their total calorie intake per day while eating breakfast will gain much less weight than those who eat less. Breakfast wakes up your metabolism and eating a big breakfast jumpstarts your metabolism.
Ice Water
Your normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Drinking cold water forces your body to burn additional calories to warm that icy water to your normal body temperature. It’s not much, but studies have shown that if you drink eight 8-oz. glasses of cold water per day, your body will consume an additional 70 calories per day. Multiply that by 30 days per month and that figure really builds up.
Consume Dairy Products
A study in The Journal of Nutrition published by the University of Copenhagen reported that calcium-rich foods such as cheese, yogurt, and milk increase the rate that fat is turned into waste. Just don’t overdue it and make sure it’s lowfat!
Guzzle Green Tea or Green Coffee
These “green” products not only contain antioxidants to ward off cold and flu symtoms, but also do miracles in increasing your metabolism (read my article Lose 20 Lbs. Drinking Green Coffee). Researchers have found that people who drink 3-5 glasses of green tea or green coffee per day for a period of 3 months can shave as much as 5% of their body weight without any other dietary changes.
Are you obese and looking for a quick weight loss diet? If you are I have to applaud you! It’s now estimated that nearly 30% of all Americans are obese and most of them are doing nothing about it.
Obesity is caused by over-eating. When you consume more calories than your body can consume, it stores those calories as fat. There are three types of fat: structural fat, normal fat, abnormal fat.
Every human body has some structural fat. Structural fat protects the human organs and provides some cushioning.
Normal fat is built from excess calories and is available for the human body to use as fuel when needed.
Abnormal fat is what leads to obesity. Abnormal fat develops when the human body determines that it has enough normal fat so it starts locking fat away inside the human body. The human body forgets about this fat and will not burn it.
Dr. A.T.W. Simeons discovered these three types of fat nearly 50 years ago. He also found a way to unlock abnormal fat and burn it off…burn it off without exercising. His product is called HCG .
HCG is not a drug. It stands for human choronic gonadotropin which is a complex amino-peptide molecule. It naturally occurs in very high levels during pregnancy and is produced by th placenta.
Dr. Simeons discovered that HCG combined with a low calorie diet forces the human body to unlock and burn the abnormal fat. It triggers the diencephalon region of the brain to use abnormal fat for the body’s caloric needs.
He also found that HCG could reset your metabolism to keep weight off permanently.
If you are obese or nearly there, you should seriously consider using HCG . You will lose 1/2 to 2 lbs. of weight per day without exercising if you use it. But, before trying this quick weight loss diet, read Dr. Simeons’ PDF about this diet. This diet is only for those that want to seriously lose weight.
Do you think that you could lose 100 pounds or more in 6 months or less by stuffing yourself with cookies everyday? Hard to believe, but with this quick weight loss diet, you certainly can!
The diet is called Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet and while many have not heard about it, the diet has been around for about four years. This is one of those diets that many don’t want you to know about.
Dr. Sanford Siegal developed the diet after treating many obesity patients for many years. Dr. Siegal knew that the thing that ruined most diets was hunger. So, he developed a cookie that contains special amino acids to control that hunger.
Here’s how the diet works. You are allowed to eat six of these delicious cookies every day along with eight glasses of water. You eat these cookies at any time of the day – whenever you are feeling hungry. Then, you eat one dinner consisting of 6 ounces of lean proteins (chicken, turkey,fish, or seafood) and one cup of vegetables. The total calorie intake is about 1000 calories per day.
The important thing about this diet are the hunger suppressant cookies – they relieve your thoughts about being hungry. They really work.Doubting that? Watch this quick weight loss diet video that was shown on ABC news:
An amazing story. Jesie Roper lost 120 pounds in six monthe on this diet and she liked the diet so much that she has continued on with the diet. She has reduced her frame size from a size 24 to what is now a size 0.
Many other notable people have used this diet with success including Jennifer Hudson, Denise Richards, and Kelly Clarkson.
Want more proof? Take a look at these testimonials about this diet.
Dr. Siegal designed this diet to take weight off fast. In his own words he says, “I know from experience that if weight loss doesn’t come off fast, they give up the diet.”
and while many have not heard about it, the diet has been around for about four years. This is one of those diets that many don’t want you to know about.
