Like a writers block, you can also have a weight loss block. These are my own thoughts, but they might be true in a way. This occurs when you continue to exercise and your body does not seem to respond. You are not losing any more weight.

Welcome, this is week six in my series, my six week weight loss plan also called, move down four dress sizes in six weeks. I am sharing my weight loss journey, what I did and continue to do and you can apply it too.

We have already looked at eating a heavy breakfast to reduce cravings and lose weight. I also shared the tricks to max out your cardio and drop the pounds fast, I also introduced weight lifting to burn more calories and lose weight in week four. In week five I combined all the three and offered a combined working plan on how you can use all the strategies to lose weight.

However, I found out that you can do all that and reach a level where you exercise and you do not lose any weight, I call it the weight loss block. This happens and such is the time when people give up on the well intended weight loss goals or plans. I have been there and I love to lose pounds when I exercise, it is the reward I should get.

One way to unblock the weight loss block is to FAST. Yes you heard me, fast. Fasting is simply going without food for a period of time for a certain benefit to the body. This is not starving your body to lose weight, like some people do, this is denying your body calories to force it to burn the stored fat, you do it consciously.

Caution!!! You must do this if you are healthy, have no health conditions and not on nay medications.  CONSULT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN. You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.  You must be old enough to make such decisions.

Now, here is the thing, people do not consult their physician and then they have an excuse for not taking action. Let us be honest, if you are healthy and going on with your daily activities, eating well and exercising, then go ahead and have a fast, it will not kill you.

Here is what I do, I give myself a water fast for one day. Find a day when you are not going to be super active and fast for one day, drinking water. If you cannot do this, drink homemade fresh carrot juice for the day.Or if you are like my neighbor from India, eat only raw fresh vegetables the whole day.  The fasting will unblock your body to make it start burning more fat again.

Caution again!! Do not eat junk after the fast, grab some fresh juice and vegetables and eat, slowly break the fast. Or have the breakfast smoothie. You can have the smoothies anytime, even at night if you break the fast in the evening.

I hope you can try it out. Remember people have stayed in the rubble for eight days without food, a self imposed fast, is very easy, considering that you are doing it for YOU.

All the best,

Sandema.

Welcome, this is yet another post in my ongoing series of my six week weight loss program. This is week five and here I will combine all the strategies together to offer you a quick weight loss strategy. In summary we have been through the following steps.

Wk1 how to lose weight in six weeks-the plan

Wk 2 Breakfast smoothie to reduce cravings and help lose weight.

Wk 3 Intensive cardio workout to help body burn fat and lose weight fast.

Wk4 Weight lifting for continuous weight loss.

In week 5 I want to combine week two to week four together into a daily schedule.

If you follow my strategies, then I suggest that you do the exercise in the morning for two very practical reasons. You will burn more fat, since you do the exercise before eating, you are using stored fat and in addition doing the exercises in the morning makes you get it out of your mind and over with. You will feel more energized and feel good that you have taken care of YOU before you take care of others, and this is a good thing.

So here is the plan.

Waking up and drinking your water, warm water, add some lemon if you feel like it. Getting out of the door and doing a good running or walking for thirty minutes, sweat, sweat and sweat.

Then in reference to weight loss with weight lifting in week three. Do some weight lifting for another twenty minutes. Make sure the arms get spaghetti to continue burning fat the whole day.

Drink plenty of fluids and wait for one hour before eating.

Make the super duper weight loss-reduce cravings breakfast smoothie and drink before you take your coffee or tea. Avoid all sugar filled, empty calorie, mystery stuff, like doughnut and soda. If you must have something sweet, the try dried fruits or orange juice.

This is how I was able to lose weight in six weeks. Weight loss is an honor to your body and your body will love you for giving that honor.

If you need help, there are some online weight loss programs that can help you stay on track, they have forums and places people do exchange ideas. Some of the online program that you can check and sample are these;

The fat burning furnace

fat loss for all of us ( I do not like their use of the word idiots, so I replaced it with all of us, but they are good)

If you feel you have no physical support from friends and family, then online forums are the best places to be.

Know that once you get rid of the sugars and replace them with food suggestions I have in week one, then you are on the right track to losing weight fast.

I hope this helps you and mke you realize that anything you put your mind on will always work.

If you have any questions, then leave me a comment and I will get back to you.

Thanks,

Sandema.

This is week four on my six week weight loss program. We have covered week one which is the laid out plan on how to lose weight in six weeks and week two is my famous weight loss breakfast smoothie. In week three I looked at working out with cardio, one of the fastest ways to lose weight fast. In week four I will share with you how I incorporated weightlifting to help me lose weight and move from dress size sixteen to dress size eight in six weeks. It is my sincere hope that this will help you, like it did for me.

After two weeks of intensive cardio and continuously taking the breakfast smoothie which helped reduce my cravings, I started doing some weight lifting. I had never before done any weight lifting so I started with light weight dumbbells and moved on to heavier ones as I went one. There is no rule here.

There are many workouts that you can do, I got my work out ideas online and by reading books like the and then doing them. The one thing I did was to lift the weights until my arms went spaghetti, this means that my arms could not carry anything anymore, the muscles are done. Here is a simple work out from you tube that I do, it is easy and works really well even for women.

Important: Just like in the intensive weight loss cardio, make sure you lift the weights until your arms get so weak, this way your muscles will continue burning the fat, long after you have stopped doing exercises, it will burn fat the whole day, that is the joy of lifting weights. Another thing with weight lifting is to do them while your stomach is tucked in, contract the stomach, this helps lose belly fat. I will discussing more about belly fat later.

All the best, it is always important to have a book with you that can help you look at the exercises as you go on and here are some popular weight lifting books, 101 ways to lift weights to help burn fat and lose weight.

Another one is, the new rules of lifting weights for women.
