Here, let me tell you how to lose 4 pounds in 4 days--Drink only water and lots of it. Eat only fish or chicken breast (4oz at a time, tops) and broccoli and leafy greens, without sauce or dressing. Run on the treadmill for 45 minutes each day to sweat buckets. And voila, you just dropped 4 pounds.

Read More »Ugh. I hate titles like this. It panders to our American nature of constantly needing fast results. We try a new program or diet, give it 4 days to work, and then move on. If we’re generous, we may give it 21 days or even a full month. But if the results aren’t there in that amount of time, we’re out. What if the headline was "How to Lose 4 Pounds in 2 Months"? Would you have even clicked on this post if that was the title? These results are hardly impressive, and requires patience and diligence. Yet, this is far more realistic. But most of us are not okay with results like this. We want more and we want it sooner. The secret. Here, let me tell you how to lose 4 pounds in 4 days--Drink only water and lots of it. Eat only fish or chicken breast (4oz at a time, tops) and broccoli and leafy greens, without sauce or dressing. Run on the treadmill for 45 minutes each day to sweat buckets. And voila, you just dropped 4 pounds. Of pure water. (Another method works just as well...I easily lost 4 pounds last week with the stomach flu.) The real results. What you probably also did in that amount of time is destroyed your metabolism. It only takes a couple days of calorie restriction to affect your hormonal profile, especially your thyroid gland, the one that produces hormones to keep your metabolism buzzing. So after just these 4 days of restriction, your body has started to slow down and exert less energy (i.e. burn far fewer calories to function). Severe calorie deficits like this are also stressful, both mentally and physically. Not only does it require a lot of willpower, but it’s hard on your body. When you are stressed, your cortisol levels increase, signaling to the body to store more energy as fat. So this restrictive eating behavior really starts to backfire internally. Once your metabolism slows down and your cortisol levels increase, it’s even more difficult to lose fat. Many women in this position think that the most logical solution is to restrict the calories even further and exercise more. No wonder we end up with bad relationships with food and exercise! At some point along the journey, it becomes horrible torture.

Read More »You need to understand that your body is so much more complex than calories in - calories out. This is like saying rocket science only involves simple mathematics, like addition and subtraction. This is simply not the case. If your goal is to lose bodyfat, you must create a perfect balance of appropriate nutrition and exercise to optimize your efforts, not sabotage them.

Read More »Loving the process, not hating it. In the end, with a good nutrition and exercise plan in place, you may even learn to love the process, not hate it. You won’t feel like you’re in a torturous cage of calorie counting and burning. You will look forward to your meals and your workouts, maintaining a good relationship with all of it. And you will see real results that last, even if they take longer to achieve. The next time you see a headline that brags it will help you lose 4 pounds in 4 days or 30 pounds in 30 days, don’t buy into it. Understand that severe calorie restriction or anything similarly drastic will not set you up for success. Set yourself on a steady track to do it properly. Slow and steady wins the race, my friend. Be patient. *I want to know your story! Do you have experience with calorie restriction and exercising for calorie burn? Did it work for you? Were the results long lasting? How did you view food and exercise because of it? So many of us have stories about this, and I'd love to hear yours!
