If you want to lose weight fast and keep it off, how you eat is just as important as what you eat.

First things first. Keep in mind that no diet is successful without implementing the basic core principles of a healthy lifestyle. You must include them all. I'm stressing this because there are so many fad diets out here nowadays that avoid some of these basic principles, and for that, you should AVOID FAD DIETS! The basic principles are COMPLETE proper nutrition (complex carbs, fiber, protein, health fats, and foods rich in vitamins and minerals), get plenty of sleep every night (7-8 hours), drink plenty of water daily (1/2-1 gallon), cardio exercise AND weight training exercise.

As far is eating is concerned, as I said earlier, how you eat is just as important as what you eat. This is because if you focus on eating properly through out the day, you will boost your metabolism. If you boost your metabolism you will lose weight fast, but even more importantly, keep it off!

How should I eat?

Eat frequently through out the day. Start with breakfast (never skip breakfast), and eat a small healthy meal every 2-3 hours after that. This will keep your fat burning furnace (your metabolism) running on all cylinders and thus naturally burn off fat faster.

When you eat frequently through out the day, your body will burn off more calories and you will lose weight fast and keep it off. However, when you do the opposite and not eat regular meals or you skip meals, this will slow down your metabolism. A slow metabolism will trigger your body to go into protection mode because it is sensing starvation. To avoid this from happening, never skip breakfast, and eat 6 small healthy meals through out the day.

In conjunction with proper nutrition, you're also going to need a proper fat burning plan customized to help you lose weight fast and keep it off.

I recommend for you to take a look at the following fat burning programs, which are all tailored around the principles for fast fat loss, but without all of the "fad diet" nonsense. Although some of these programs may not work for everyone, they all have three things in common, you can download them instantly, they all have a good track record, and they all produce fast results.
