Lose 1 Pound of Fat Per Week With This Diet, No Exercise Needed

Please keep in mind that while the following diet doesn't require any exercise to lose fat, a combined exercise and diet program is always the best way to get maximum results. Another way to maximize your results from this or any diet is to cycle it. Cycling your diet simply means to stop after four weeks, take one week off, then resume your diet.

There are a few reasons why you must cycle your diets. One, is so your body doesn't go into starvation mode; meaning it won't start to hold onto fat because it fears you are starving it. Another, is that your body tends to shed fat faster in the first four weeks of a diet.

The practice of cycling will keep your body constantly in that four week fat burning zone so that you reach your goal faster. Cycling will also keep your diet efforts interesting, which will make it easier to stick too. How do you eat on your off-diet week?

Good question, and the answer is, clean and simple. Forget about adding excess calories during this week, only 100 extra calories of good fats. There's another catch; do 40 minutes of cardio every day during this week. Although cardio is optional, it will melt away fat, and leave your metabolism super-charged for when you start your diet again. Okay, now for your exercise-free fat loss diet.
