Psyllium husk is a natural fiber, very healthy, and it even lowers cholesterol!  The best part is that it swells when it comes in contact with water.  This property can be taken advantage of for diet control purposed by making one feel full. 

Hard Core Rapid Weight Loss Procedure:

Read first:

Do not stay on this diet for more than one week at a time!

The following is adapted from the colon cleanse program offered by Blessed Herbs. 

Take one tablespoon of psyllium husk (can be purchased from GNC as Colon Pure) and combine with 8 oz. apple juice in a 16 oz. jar, shake well and drink; repeat every three hours.  If you let it stand for a few minutes it will become identical to apple sauce and you can eat it with a spoon.  You might even want to add a little cinnamon to give the finishing touch!  Take five servings per day.  8 oz. of apple juice is only about 150 calories, so for the entire day only about 750 calories are consumed.  This will not only make you feel full causing you not to want to eat anything else, but it will activate the bowels causing several bowel movements per day, which is conducive to rapid weight loss.  It is very easy to lose 10 pounds a week using this method.  It would be unwise to go beyond one week at a time with this diet. 

To insure bowel movements you can also take "Digestive Stimulator" capsules available from BlessedHerbs.com between the psyllium shake meals.  It's important that you go to the bathroom several times a day for maximum weight loss.

Studies have shown that soaking in a hot tub for 30 minutes a day can cause a weight reduction of about one and a half pounds a week.  Soaking simulates exercise by increasing the heart rate, while at the same time lowering blood pressure by dilating the blood vessels.  After each soak weight will decrease dramatically, but that is mostly just fluid loss, not fat loss, and you should expect most to soon return.  It is recommended that you drink water before soaking, so you won't dehydrate yourself.

Naturally exercise can be implemented too.  However, it much easer to lose weight by simply not eating excess calories in the first place, than it is to exercise the calories off afterwards (see below).  One pound of body fat is usually given as 3,500 Kcal.  Wow! a full hour of running can only burn off 1000 Kcal, and jogging only about 600.  An average workout at the gym, though very healthy, will probably burn off no more than 300 to 500 Kcals.  However, your body will naturally burn off 2,000 to 2,500 KCals a day with no particular additional exercise.  We lose most of our weight just by simply living and breathing 24 hours a day.  The lesson to be learned here is DON'T OVER EAT!  

Exercise has its limitations:

Modification: Nutritious low cal diet for reasonable weight loss

If you are not willing to be go on the super crash diet described above, or have been on it for a week, then much weight can be lost with this simple modified version given below which is far more nutritious:

Breakfast:

One scoop of chocolate flavored whey power (a milk derivative) in 8 oz skim milk, add two raw eggs for added nutrition and protein.  You may also want to add the contents of one or two wheat germ oil capsules, Omega-3 oil, and possibly even the contents of one or two Conjugated Linoleic Acid capsules (supposedly good for reducing belly fat).  It's easiest to use a blender, but some sources say egg protein can be damaged by blending.  So, it's up to you if you want to blend or just stir.  After blending you'll get about 16 ozs. of delicious chocolate whey milk shake, and it's only about 300 calories.

Snacks and Lunch:

Continue with the psyllium husk and apple drink shakes as described above every three hours.

Dinner:

Eat a simple tossed green (mostly lettuce) salad with low cal salad dressing, 100 grams salad total.

Finish with a singe piece of Hershey's All Natural Extra Dark chocolate (50 calories).

Late night snack:

Put some raw spinach leaves, a few crushed raw garlic cloves in a pan and sauté for a couple of minutes in a couple tablespoons full of extra virgin olive oil.  This is "super food" and will make you sleep and dream like a baby.
