How to Lose 10 Pounds and Get Fitter Fast... in a Nutshell

Here's just about everything you need to know in order to boost your metabolism, burn off lots of ugly fat, lose 10 pounds fast, and get a fitter, healthier, sexier-looking body... in a nutshell!

Step 1 -- Eat a clean diet based around meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, raw fruits, nuts, seeds, and unrefined "healthy" fats like coconut oil and virgin olive oil. You want most (about 80% at least) to come from natural "paleo" foods.

Step 2 -- Avoid most simple sugars and refined carbohydrates (especially processed "white" wheat/grain flours). Also avoid bad fats and most fried foods.

Step 3 -- Limit and cycle your intake of starchy carbohydrates like potatoes, rice, bread, grains, etc. Most people are sensitive to carbs and have a much easier time losing fat if they limit their starch intake.

Step 4 -- Do strength/resistance training several times per week, focusing on "big" exercises that efficiently tax the body's energy reserves. Also do a few sessions of higher-intensity cardiovascular exercise. Exercise 5 to 6 days a week, constantly changing your workouts in creative ways that confuse the body and prevent boredom or burnout. Keep your workouts short (usually 30 minutes or less) and intense.

Step 5 -- Take support supplements to optimize your metabolism and help your body recover faster from intense exercise. A few of the best options are whey protein, omega 3 fats, quality vitamin and mineral supplements, and a good energy/metabolism booster such as green tea extract.

That's pretty much it. The body's actual fat-burning processes are pretty complex. But the simple methods outlined above are all 100% proven to help anyone speed up their metabolism, burn fat faster, lose 10 pounds quickly, increase lean muscle tissue, and create a fitter body within a short time frame.
