Rapid Weight Loss – Your Complete Guide
Written By Mike Roussell
There are many questions and misconceptions about rapid weight loss that I wanted to clear up in this article such as safety, limits, and ways to go about it. When people commonly talk about rapid weight loss they may be talking about just losing a lot of weight in a short period of time via the use of diuretics.
For the most part this is a waste of time and moving forward we’ll just be talking about rapid weight loss programs that target fat loss and not diuretic based programs that will
only cause you to temporarily lose a large amount of water weight.
It is during these types of programs where you run the risk of
dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and other complications to your
health. Plus you gain all the weight you lost back in a couple days.
Let’s get started with the real stuff.

How Fast Can I Safely Lose The Weight?
There are plenty of myths surrounding how fast someone can lose weight. I was recently checking out an online food/exercise tracking program for some of my clients and the program would not allow you to
set a weight loss goal that was greater than 1.7lbs/week.
A couple weeks ago I was talking with a weight loss researcher about an upcoming weight loss study and she mentioned that they had set the limit on weight loss for the participants to be 2lbs/week – set a
limit? Why? Upon further questioning this scientist did not have any
good reason for the 2lbs per week limit. In fact the ‘rule’ that you can only safely lose up to 2lbs per week seems to be completely made up! See the video below for more:
As I mention in the video the key is the correct use of a fat loss diet and exercise program. Don’t set limits on yourself and you will be able to safely lose more than 2lbs per week.
Now let’s move into your rapid weight loss diet plan.
Rapid Weight Loss Diet
Broccoli is a Key Rapid Weight Loss Food
In order to rapidly lose a lot of fat you need a tightly controlled diet. The key principles of this diet are similar to that of any effective weight loss diet; they will just need to be tweaked a little
bit so that your fat loss can be accelerated.
What you will find is that you don’t need any magical meal replacement shakes or weight loss pills to accelerate your weight loss. These changes that you will make with you diet will have the biggest impact on how rapidly you lose the weight. Watch this video to learn about the foundational principles of your rapid weight loss diet and then we will look further into adjusting it for maximum weight loss.
So to quickly recap the information from the video, the 6 Pillars of Nutrition are as follows:
1. Eat five to six times a day.
2. Limit your consumption of sugars and processed foods.
3. Eat fruits and vegetables throughout the day.
4. Drink more water and cut out calorie-containing beverages (beer, soda, etc.).
5. Focus on consuming lean proteins throughout the day.
6. Save starch containing foods until after a workout or for breakfast.
How do we tweak these steps for faster weight loss? In order to lose weight fast you need to reduce the amount of carbohydrates and the amount of calories that you eat. For many people the simplest way to do
this is to remove starchy carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, and grains, and replace them with vegetables. See the video below for more about reducing your carbohydrate intake for faster fat loss and not your fat intake.
For rapid weight loss diets I recommend that you remove all starches from your diet completely, with the exception of during and after your workout, and only eat vegetables (mainly green) and fruits (apples, berries, etc). The reason you still
have faster acting carbohydrates during/after you workout is that these kinds of carbohydrates at this specific time will help you better recover from your workouts (so you can train harder again) and research shows that it does not hinder your fat loss.
Berries are Another Great Fat Loss Food
So you know what foods you need to eat now right? Green vegetables, apples, berries, a variety of protein sources (chicken, beef, tuna, etc) and fats at every meal. Remember, don’t skimp out on the fats. When you cut your carbohydrate intake your body will turn to start using fat as its primary fuel source. You body will use stored body fat but you also need to provide it with fats from your diet.
One mistake that people commonly make with this kind of diet is eating too much protein and not enough fat. You acutally don’t need to be eating more protein than you would on a normal weight loss diet (about 30-35% of your total calorie intake), instead you make the calorie difference, that you created from removing carbohydrates, by adding more fats.
Putting this type of diet into action is more effective than any sort of rapid weight loss pill you can find (the impact of weight loss pill and supplements is greatly overrated and they truly don’t work unless you are putting these diet principles into action).
Your Rapid Weight Loss Exercise Plan
It is really unfortunately that the role of exercise in weight loss has been bashed by the media due to a handful of studies showing a limited effect of exercise on weight loss. Many people will argue that your diet is all that matters when it comes to losing weight. But I have just not found this to be the case. A proper metabolic exercise program will put you leaps and bounds ahead of anyone you know that is trying to lose weight by diet alone or through traditional aerobic cardio based programs. Here’s what an effective rapid weight loss exercise program looks like:
Now, depending on your current level of fitness, that video might have scared you. Jumping one-legged lunges?!
As you can see I’m not talking about your average fat loss training program. Metabolic fat loss training is intense, it burns a lot of calories during and after the training session, and it builds and protects muscle (which is your calorie burning powerhouse). Let’s look at a couple of these points in more depth.
Calorie Burning For Rapid Weight Loss
There are two schools of thought when it comes to calorie burning and exercise.
1. You should focus on the amount of calories from fat that your burn during your workout.
2. You should focus on the total amount of calories your burn during your workout and over the 24-36 hours.
Which to you think is more important? The goal is to burn as many extra calories as possible correct? So why would you just focus on the calories from fat that your burn during your training session? As my friend (can Warp Speed Fat Loss co-creator) Alwyn Cosgrove says
“If you just focused on what happened during your training session in regards to building muscle, you would conclude that weight training is bad for building muscle as it does the opposite. During your training session you are breaking down and destroying muscle. It is only after your training session that you repair, rebuild, and your muscles grow. So why do we look at the effectiveness of a fat loss training program based on what happens during the actual training session?”
Do you see his point? Traditional aerobic based exercises (i.e. getting on the exercise bike and riding for 30-40 minutes at a low to moderate pace) burns more calories from fat during the session but metabolic resistance training and exercise (like you saw in the video) burns a lot of total calories and continues to burn calories for 36 hours after you finish.
This is due to a phenomenon called EPOC (Excess Postexercise Oxygen Consumption). EPOC is basically your body trying to play metabolic catch-up from the training session; it burns calories during this process. The level of EPOC that you generate is directly related to the intensity of your workout. The more EPOC, the more extra calories you burn.
Great Intensity Leads to Greater EPOC, Which Leads to More Calories Being Burned
How can you increase the intensity of your workouts? Two simple ways. First is to focus on exercises that use a lot of big muscle groups:
* Squats
* Deadlifts
* Push Press
* Lunges
Second it to reduce the rest periods between your sets and focus on getting more work done in a shorter period of time. Metabolic Fat Loss training is about improving your overall fitness level, doing more work, and burning more calories. It is not about making sure you are fully rested between sets.
Here is an example of a killer metabolic workout from the Warp Speed Fat Loss 2.0 Program
As you can see this is not your typical workout. It requires that you work hard; but it is through these types of intense training sessions and the reduced carbohydrate diet that I also outlined above that you will achieve rapid weight loss. This is by far the safest and more effective way to rapidly lose
weight. No pills, detox plans, or wild diets involving maple syrup and lemon juice will give you these kind of results.
