How to Build Fat Burning Momentum and Lose Weight Quickly

The Reason People Struggle to Lose Weight

I was listening to a friend of mine the other day and she was talking about how she simply can’t lose weight now that she is 30. She went into this long story about how she ate nothing but salad with sliced up chicken breasts for two weeks and only lost 1 pound. She figured at this rate, it would take her over a year to lose the 30 pounds she wants to drop.

The First Two Weeks of Any Diet Plan Are Just Preparing Your Body

I tell people to ignore the first two weeks of any diet plan. I like to think of those first two weeks as a runway. The plane won’t leave the ground until it reaches the end of the runway. It takes your body a while to switch into fat burning mode. It isn’t used to burning fat, otherwise you would be slim! Your body needs to get in a semi-fasted state before it will access your stored body fat. It can take a while for all of that carbohydrate energy to exit your system. This is when fat will melt off of your body.

You Won’t Lose Weight at a Steady Rate

Remember how my friend was concerned that she would only lose one pound every two weeks? If she would have reached week three and week four, she would have seen dramatically different results. It isn’t uncommon for people to lose 4-5 pounds per week when they reach week 3 or week 4 of a strict diet. This is when dieting begins to be fun and rewarding. When you reach this point, you have built up fat burning momentum. This is when amazing transformations take place.

Once You Build up Fat Burning Momentum, Keep Dieting Hard!

The last thing you want to do is stray from your diet when you are in the fat burning zone. I actually recommend getting slightly stricter with your diet and maybe exercise a bit more. Take advantage of this window of opportunity. If you cheat a bunch, you will eventually have to start from the beginning. Then you will have to put in two weeks with no results just to get back to where you were. Dieting is a bummer when you put in weeks of effort with little results. If you can have the discipline to diet for 6 weeks straight, I guarantee you that you will lose weight.
