With summer quickly approaching women are breaking out their Mini Skirts and hoping they fit. Here are some of my best rapid fat loss tips for fitting into your mini skirts.

Losing weight fast is actually a simple process, but simple is not necessarily easy. There is effort involved.

Here are three weight loss keys for women to look sexy in a Mini Skirt:

1) Exercise

Women can lose weight just by following a nutrition plan on its own, but very few succeed at it and it takes much longer than when women eat properly and exercise as well. And not just getting on a treadmill for 30 minutes every other day. Though some women may lose weight this way it is not the most efficient use of your time. Nor does it maximize the ability to burn calories if you want to fit into that mini skirt.

The most effective way to lose fat is by strength training or some type of interval training utilizing strength training and cardiovascular exercises. A properly designed program can burn more overall calories in 20 minutes than 40 minutes on a treadmill. Also, the X factor in all this is that women will burn more calories per minute hours after they finished strength training because of the EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption) effect. Static exercise on a treadmill doesn’t produce this X factor. Did you know that research shows that interval strength training can elevate your metabolism for up to 40 hours after you complete your workout.

This means that your metabolism is elevated all the time 24 hours a day if you exercise every day or every other day. Now that is what you want to look great in that mini skirt.

This is a good thing, a very good thing. You see speeding up your metabolism is the key to losing weight quickly and keeping it off for a lifetime. As you get older your metabolism naturally starts slowing down. Stopping this natural metabolism slowdown will keep you from gaining that 5-10 pounds every year.

2) Keep a food journal

You will be amazed at what you consume and not even realize you did it until you write it down and reflect back on the day. Keeping a food log is critical to your successful trek of fitting into your mini skirts because if modifications need to be made you are able to evaluate and analyze. If weight loss changes aren’t happening like you had hoped the answer can usually be found in the food and or exercise journal.

Make sure you record the quantities of what you eat and what you drink. Many people forget that there are calories and sometimes lots of calories in what you drink. Review your food journal at the end of every day and see what you did well and what you need to work more on. Make sure you note the changes you need to make for the next day so you can re-evaluate what you improved on the next day. This is a very important step to ensuring mini skirt success.

3) Follow the 90% rule

If you can follow a weight loss plan 90% of the time then that is enough for you to be successful. Women who find themselves breaking the rules more than 90% of the time then the chance of being successful with weight loss is not as likely. Your chances of failing increase significantly. For most women this means you are allowed to cheat on your meals 4 times per week if you are eating 5 meals a day.

These are just 3 weight loss keys to looking great in that Mini Skirt this summer. Start implementing these mini skirt weight loss keys and before you know it you will be looking great and getting comments on how great you look in that mini skirt.

This guest blog post is a transcription between fitness and nutrition authors Jayson Hunter and Jim Labadie. I have their permission to share it with you.
Jim: Okay. Now, anybody who wants more information on insulin levels, Jayson’s got a ton of information at his Blog also, on that topic because that can be a little bit confusing. What’s the Blog address, Jayson?

Jayson: It is DressSizeReductionBlog.com

Jim: DressSizeReductionBlog.com. Okay. Great, so alright. Now, for women out there who want to know how to lose weight fast, we want to tell them – well what we want to do is help clear up some confusion. Now, healthy fats, is there such a thing as healthy fats? Is that just something that’s been played up in the media? I know tip number 4: eat more healthy fats. Real quick what is a healthy fat and where can we find more of them?

Jayson: Healthy fats are what we classify as Omega3 essential fatty acids. You’ll see also in the news essential fatty acids as far as a buzz word and that is a healthy fat.

Jim: Are Omega3s, a type of essential fatty acid or are they –

Jayson: Yes.

Jim: Okay, they’re a type of essential fatty acid.

Jayson: They’re a type of essential fatty acids and that’s why, yeah, it gets confusing because you don’t really know what is what. But, an essential fatty acid is something that we can not produce in the body on our own so we need to take it in through diet and one of those is an Omega3 fatty acid and you can get these in olive oil, walnuts, almonds are a good sources and the reason why healthy fats are so beneficial is they’re a great antioxidant. They help with brain function; they help with many essential processes in the body that take place.
I want to say there are easily more then 150 research articles out there now discussing benefits from possibly lowering cholesterol, raising your metabolism, burning as much as 400 extra calories a day when you take Omega3 fish oils; reduces certain forms of cancer. I know the government’s doing Alzheimers studies with it because of the value it brings to brain function and how it can help slow down those degenerative effects of Alzheimers. It’s really a fascinating nutrient right now, because scientists are finding that it’s almost the next – I don’t want to say wonder drug because it’s not a drug, but it’s one of those that you should be taking every single day because of the beneficial value that you get from consuming Omega3 fatty acids.
And really, the best way to get those is from fish, but you then would have to eat fish two or three times a week which obviously can get a little boring, stagnate, not to mention you have to make sure you’re buying fish that don’t have high mercury levels or PCDs and whatnot, so I usually suggest to people to just take a high quality krill oil or fish oil that’s going to be able to allow you to get those nutrients in two simple pills rather then having to eat fish three times a week and worry you’re going to get risk of cancer because of the mercury levels.

Jim: Is there any brand in particular that you recommend?

Jayson: I actually like Prograde Nutrition’s product. It’s called EFA Icon and I believe their website is GetProGrade.com

Jim: Okay. Our last fast weight loss tip of the day. We want to eat frequent meals. So, I know some of the stuff you explained about, a little bit, about eating throughout the day and insulin levels. I think by now women have heard this enough, but it can be hard to do, especially some women don’t like eat that much. Do you have any tips for helping women get that many small meals in a day?

Jayson: A lot of it is just planning a head and thinking in advance. It’s really not that difficult once you kind of put a little time and effort into thinking, “Alright how am I going to do this?” A lot of it, if you’re eating some lean proteins, or eating yogurts or cottage cheeses, those can be made in advance, put in little Tupperware containers, same with the vegetables, or fruits. You can cut up your vegetables on a Sunday and so that you have them in baggies all week long to where all you have to do is sort them out for whatever meals you’re going to eat that day.
Really it would take, you’re prep time maybe is an hour or so, say on a Sunday, but as far as assembly time throughout the week you’re looking at 5 minutes to get all of your snacks that you need to eat throughout the day to make it convenient to get those meals in, rather then going, “Oh it’s 10:30 and I was supposed to eat, but what am I going to eat? I don’t really have many choices I guess I could go to the cafeteria it opens in 15 minutes.” Those are the types of things that generally people fail at because it’s just difficult to do it that way.
So you really do need to try to plan in advance and just try to prepare your meals in the morning or your snacks so that you have them handy and ready to eat. And the real reason to want to eat 4-6 times a day is – it boosts your metabolism. Every time, like I mentioned before, every time you eat your metabolism increases which means you burn more calories. So, essentially your metabolism could be elevated all day long and I actually just had – I’m working with some people for some weight loss at this company and one of their participants hasn’t really, necessarily changed what types of foods he’s been eating, because he was eating decently healthy before, but he went to eating the 5-6 times a day like I recommended and he’s down like 18 lbs since November or since Thanksgiving, end of November and really the only change he did was, he’s eating more frequently.
