3 Secrets to Lose 10 Lbs Faster and More Easily

Here are 3 real "secrets" for burning fat and losing 10 pounds faster and more easily. They're all proven to work... so give 'em a try! :)

1. Visualize success.

This is one of the few true secrets of achieving fast success in anything... including fitness and weight loss! Visualization is a simple and effective way to "program" your mind to succeed. When you visualize you achieve a goal mentally before you actually do it physically. Simply create a mental image or "movie" of yourself, but with 10 fewer pounds of fat and a fitter, leaner, sexier body. Imagine how great it feels to have lost lots of fat in a fast, healthy way. Just a few minutes per day spent visualizing can make everything involved in losing pounds faster and easier.

2. Eat "high volume" foods.

If you eat foods that are nutrient dense but relatively low in calories you'll be able to lose weight without being hungry all the time. You'll also reduce food cravings. Most people who lose weight and keep it off eat lots of "high volume" foods. Most of these healthy foods are high in fiber and low in calories. Vegetables, fruits, beans, and legumes are the best examples. These fiber-rich, high volume foods literally fill up your stomach and suppress your appetite without providing too many calories or negatively affecting blood sugar or insulin levels.

3. Eat starches only after strength workouts.

Most people's body's don't handle starchy carbs very well, especially grain foods like breads, cereals, and pastas. These foods tend to spike insulin levels and lead to an increase in body fat. But, if you eat them immediately after strength/resistance workouts, your body will be able to use them very well... mainly to repair and build lean muscle tissue. So save your grains, potatoes, rice, and other starches for your after-workout meals!

Now you know 3 of the best "secrets" for losing 10 pounds fast. Give them a try anytime you want to burn fat and lose weight quickly. Remember: just spend some time visualizing success, eat lots of high-volume/high-fiber foods to reduce hunger, and only eat starches after strength workouts. Simple, easy steps like this are the real keys to fast weight loss success!

10 Steps to Losing 10 Pounds Quickly

Here are the 10 step you should take to lose 10 pounds in a fast, healthy, and safe way. We'll cover each one in more detail but here's a quick outline to get started...

1. Know what you want and write it down. Think about your goal constantly and visualize success every day.

2. Go all out. Don't just do one or two things. Do everything! Exercise daily. Eat a clean diet with planned cheat meals. Take the best supplements.

3. Use the power of momentum. Go for a "win" every day and keep track of your progress. Build momentum until you can't help but succeed.

4. Boost your energy. Get plenty of sleep and drink lots of water. Avoid simple sugars and large doses of caffeine. Do 10-20 minutes of light exercise every morning.

5. Do a short juice fast or raw food diet. 2 days is all it takes to detox/cleanse your body and boost your energy.

6. Cut out most processed foods. The processed/refined sugars and flours must go in order to allow your body to burn fat and lose 10 pounds fast.

7. Eat a clean paleo-based diet. Get most of your calories from typical "paleo" foods as well as beans, legumes, and small amounts of dairy products. Limit your intake of starches and try to cycle your calorie intake to keep your metabolism off-balance.

8. Do short, hard full-body strength workouts often. Building lean muscle while burning fat and stimulating the metabolism should be your focus.

9. Do some HIIT-style cardio as a supplement to your strength training. Also play a sport or go hiking at least once a week.

10. Take the best diet supplements: whey protein, multivitamins, and omega 3 fatty acids.

That's it. Follow those 10 proven steps and you'll lose 10 lbs in the fastest and healthiest way possible!

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.
