I am on a mission to educate women on why fad diet plans don't work. I have seen too many women fall victim to the never ending stream of fad diet plans that come on the market and wants to change the way women look at how to lose weight fast.

I have seen it over and over and over again; women constantly on the lookout for the latest and greatest fad diet plan. They almost always result in the dreaded yo-yo weight gain cycle that actually causes women to gain more weight back than they originally lost!

I have the following advice for women who want to know how to lose weight fast in a safe and healthy manner.

1) One of the best ways to lose weight fast is to eat 4-6 small, nutritious meals throughout the day. Women are advised to ignore any fad diet plan which teaches anything different. The reason for eating 4-6 small, nutritious meals a day is to boost your metabolism. When you eat these small meals frequently throughout the day your body has to digest them, which means it burns calories to do this. This is an easy way to provide a little boost to your metabolism and burn more calories throughout the day. The more healthy food it consumes in small portions over the course of the day, the more fat is burned. Fad diet plans typically teach women to starve themselves which causes a great deal of damage to their metabolism.

2) You need to incorporate some lean protein into these 4-6 small, nutritious meals. The importance of adding protein is twofold. First, protein is a great nutrient that helps provide fullness and satiety. It will prevent you from getting hungry between meals and splurging or overeating. Second, protein has what is called a high thermic effect of food. This means that your body requires more calories to digest protein than it does for carbohydrates or fat. This is another way to speed up your metabolism and burn more calories throughout the day.

3) Fad diet plans tend to focus on one particular food that women enjoy eating. If a program advises you to consume any one food - such as ice cream or grapefruits - the fad diet plan should not be followed as it will result in eventual failure.

Fad diet plans only offer a quick short term solution and sometimes they don't even offer that. To get permanent fat loss you have to make behavioral changes that you will follow all the time. Fad diet plans won't teach you how to keep your fat off and this is why it results in eventual failure and the return of the weight you just lost.
