Blog: Lose 8 Pounds a Month

If you really want to lose weight this is a guaranteed way to do it.

For most things there are no guarantees. There are also certain things in math called axioms or basic truths. The following is basically an axiom of weight loss. If you already work out and watch what you eat but can’t lose weight: this may be for you. You need to want it badly and you have to be tough.

As a personal trainer in the La Crescenta area for 20 plus years, I have often heard lots of lame excuses for not doing what it takes to make progress. One of my favorites was: I’m not willing to give up my chicken wings. The list goes on and on.

The following is not easy but if you believe 21- 6 = 15, you may understand what I have found to be a no brainer.

To lose two to three pounds a week follow this program and do not substitute. If you normally have three meals a day for seven days you have 21 meals a week. This plan requires two 24 hour fast days. You will never go a day without eating however. One day per week usually Monday you will have a late breakfast (11 a.m.) and a late lunch about (4 p.m.). You will skip dinner and have nothing to eat until dinner the following evening. This means you will go 24 hours with out eating. From 6 p.m. Monday until 6 p.m. Tuesday you will fast for 24 hours and skip three meals.

You will repeat this on Thursday. Have a late breakfast and a late lunch. Skip dinner and the next days breakfast and lunch. Eat dinner after 6 p.m. and you will have skipped a total of six meals for the week. You will have fasted two days but have never gone a day without eating. Having 15 meals a week instead of 21 guarantees weight loss success.
