Before we start this article, let me say something very important. Fat loss is directly effected by your diet and training. If you incorporate both of them in your daily routine, you'll lose all the fat naturally, safely and easily. I can help you lose weight fast but if you can't stay lean 6 months from now, the effort is useless. So become committed to staying thin by proper nutrition and exercise routine. Only then your dream of having slim body will become true.

So now, lets get into the meat of this article.

1. Fad Diet Works

I might be the first person (ex fitness trainer) to claim that fad diet works. You must have read tons of article on internet, magazines about how they don't work. Let me tell you, atkins, south beach or whatever new fad diet is, they work. They work perfectly. But people takes them too far. I focus mostly on low carb diet plans with reloading of carbs every few days. Here are few ideas for this article.

1. Cut down your carbs upto 80-100 gms per day.

2. Completely cut down your starch, sugar.

3. Reload carbs when you feel like you are getting weaker in your workouts.

4. Eat lot of protein and Fat in your normal diet.

5. Stop drinking all the colas, soft drinks and alcohol especially bear.

2. Fad Exercises Doesn't work

This is exact opposite of fad diets. Most of the Fad exercises or equipment like ab roller, cruncher or whatever, doesn't work. The best way to exercise is using weights and interval training. You basically use free weights (Barbell and dumbbells) and compound exercises like bench press, incline bench press, squats, lunges etc in your weight training. Here are few ideas for you to get started.

Weight training

Monday : Full body workout using free weights but focussed more on lower body. Pick 6 exercises, focus 4 of them on lower body and 2 of them on upper body.

Wednesday : Full body workout using free weights but focussed more on upper body. Same as above. This time you focus 4 exercises for your upper body.

Friday : Full body workout using free weights but focussed more on lower body. Same as your monday workout.

Interval Training

Thurdsay : 400 M run X 10.

Sunday : 100 M run X 10.

As you can see this is a workout program for 5 days per week. You need at least 5 day workouts to lose weight. Later on when you have shed off all the excess pounds, you can switch to 4 day programs.
