Many of you have asked me advice on losing weight and working out.

Losing weight (especially for us women) is as much a emotional battle as physical.

After years of researching and putting different 'diets' and work out regimines to the test, the following in my opinion, is a fail-proof way to lose weight--that is if you actually have the motivation and sanity to stick with it for about 3 months.  Yes, it really does take that long to see noticeable results.  First of all, you MUST come to accept where you are at, no matter what weight that is, and realize that losing weight WILL be frusterating, it will come with it's mighty highs and horrible lows.  No excuses are allowed.  You are in control.  You have the power.  Always remember that.

THE MAIN IDEA HERE IS TO EAT SMALL, HEALTH MEALS SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO KEEP YOUR METABOLISM UP.  THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS IS YOU VERY RARELY HAVE CRAVINGS FOR SWEETS, OR JUNK FOOD, AS YOU ARE ALWAYS SATISFIED AND HAVE ENERGY. 

I never eat carbs from grains or breads or pastas AFTER 3 or 4pm.  And absolutely NO fruits in the afternoon or evening (except a banana follwoing a work-out).  Notice also, that I have included healthy fats.  This is important to shed the fat on your body.  You cannot expect to lose weight by cutting carbs altogether or the essential fats.

This is approx. a 1500 cal diet, high in protein, limited carbs,  which is, I believe a good starting point to begin a diet (for a women) who want to shed fat fast.....always realize that this may be tweaked as the weeks progress to avoid a plateau.  While many days I use this exact diet, I do change it up a bit some days (just supplementing different foods that have the same nutritional value) so I dont get bored.  I would suggest doing the same.

Feel free to use this as a template for your diet/workout routine! You'll see fantastic results, no doubt!!
