Many so-called experts in or involved in the health industry are constantly coming with new and innovative ways to sell you on their new fast diet program or rapid weight loss pills. Before you buy into any of their claims be sure to do your diligence and find out if it's just another fad diet or a genuine, scientifically proven, healthy way to help you on your weight loss journey.

Most of the programs and pills available on the market today are designed and marketed to satisfy the desires of people wanting to lose weight in the quickest way possible with the least amount of thought and effort.

All that most of them really do is create the illusion that you will get the desired outcome if you buy their special food, special supplements, special workout equipment, or special DVD workout program.

Mid afternoon and more often, late night television provides evidence of this if losing weight is a problem you have.

Science and physiology have uncovered 5 guidelines you can follow on a daily basis that are proven to shed unwanted body fat if you keep up with it. Unlike what you see on television informercials, these facts solve your quick weight loss woes if you choose to follow what science has proven from a physiological standpoint and not what marketers have proven will sell if they press the right hot buttons for you.

If your goal is to lose weight quickly, then by following these 5 simple guidelines every day you can easily lose 10% of your unwanted body fat in 30 days. Furthermore, you can continue to do this every month until optimum weight is achieved, if you follow and sustain these guidelines.

First, you will have to "unlearn" some things that the media and unqualified "experts" have led us to believe about losing weight fast, particularly fat. After reading this article it will make your next trip to the grocery store quite enlightening.

When you think of a fast diet what do you think of? Maybe eating lettuce and drinking water for a week straight? How about all protein and no carbs? Just grapefruits or cabbage soup? You don't, and in fact you SHOULDN'T, starve yourself and take part in all that nonsense if you want to lose weight quickly.

Your goal is to remove fat from your body, not just weight, because fat weighs much less than lead body mass, so if you focus on removing fat, then you will look and feel better, even though you won't look as big. You don't even have to spend countless hours working out, however adding even a moderate amount of exercise of any kind is a great compliment to a healthy lifestyle and will always aid in the process of losing weight. Simple adjustments are sometimes all it takes to condition your body to be a fat burning machine 24/7 and provide you with an energy level you may not have experienced for a while.

Fruit juices are known to be good for you, and while they do have good qualities, they are still full of natural sugars that get stored as fat in your body rather quickly after consumption. Another popular thing you'll find in grocery stores is whole wheat and whole grain products, but you need to take caution because there are certain kinds that help you lose weight and others that will help you gain it.

Fat free products are quite popular because, like infomercials, they satisfy a need that people who want to lose weight have, which is to lose weight as fast as possible. And if they think they can do that by eating "fat free" then they will easily do that. The reality is that fat free products are full of sugar, and if you want to lose weight quickly, and you can, then you need to start by limiting your sugar intake.

Don't completely eliminate fruits and bread in your daily diet. Simply limit how much you consume of them and when you consume them. Replacement options for breads that are good for you include sprouted grains and quinoa. As for fruits, well, as the old saying goes, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".

Don't get caught up in what the media says about fat intake. Fat is actually good for you and will help you lose weight, if you consume the right kinds. Great sources of "good fat" are grape seed oil, butter (the real kind), raw nuts, and avocados. Fats you want to avoid are all hydrogenated oils, especially canola, and imitation butters.

Also big on the "No No" list of what not to consume is artificial sweeteners. If you like to have something a little sweeter like coffee for example...use pure cane sugar or a good honey along with some cinnamon.

General rule of thumb: food with one ingredient is always your best choice. In other words, things that are NOT processed. Things like a steak or chicken breast, all fruits, all vegetables, nuts, or combinations of them.

So, here are the 5 principles you need to know for the best fast diet and weight loss strategies:

1. Know the foods that cause fat burning.

2. Know the foods that prevent fat burning.

3. Assemble these foods to create fat burning.

4. Consume the food you buy to help you burn fat.

5. Eat these foods at the right times to sustain fat burning.

I've only found one source that covers all 5 of these bullet points thoroughly, and backs each point up with not only scientific proof, but also case studies and experience from nutrition and health experts who have uncovered these truths about what a fast diet really means and how you really can enjoy quick weight loss.
