How To Get Skinny Fast: Fact or Fiction?

Truth to be told, it is possible to get skinny fast and the two ultimate combinations to achieve this is a high-quality diet coupled with a consistent and well-structured fitness routine. Before we get into the nitty-gritty about how to get skinny fast, there are a couple of things that you need to take into consideration:

• Weight loss is something that is a gradual process, not a race. According to Mayo Clinic, a healthy way to lose weight is to lose 1-2 pounds or 0.5-1 kg per week. 
• Avoid fad diets that promise to lose a large amount of weight in a short period of time. These diets will put you at risk of nutritional deficiency, which can lead to health issues. 
• Speak to your doctor or dietician before beginning any diet or exercise routine to lose weight as they can offer you professional, qualified advice that is tailored to you. 

To lose weight in a fast and safe manner, you should follow these 5 steps to weight loss success:

1. Set stringent goals – For example, “My goal is to lose 8 pounds in 4 weeks by sticking to a balanced lean protein, 1800 calories a day diet, and exercise for at least 3 hours a week”. These goals are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timed)
2. Stay motivated – Get yourself a workout partner, this could be either in person or virtual. Who’s your fitness role model? Establish who they are and learn as much as you can about their routines, disciplines, and follow in their footsteps. 
3. Consume a protein-rich and low-carb diet – Protein will enable you to stay full while resisting the urge to snack between meals. A 2018 study recommended that you intake 0.71 grams, to 1 gram per body weight. Also, a low-carb diet, specifically a ketogenic diet, induces rapid induction of weight loss.
4. Get active and stay active – Exercise can help you burn lots of calories, especially calisthenics due to the majority of exercises being compound movements, which utilize more muscle groups in a single movement. Think about how many muscles are activated when doing pull ups?
5. Rinse and repeat – Stick to these 4 tips and weight will go down gradually with time.
