No matter what you think about your body right this very minute, realize that you can be suddenly slimmer within a mere 30 to 90 days if you decide that you're gonna choose a healthy lifestyle and eating plan, and stick to it no matter what.

First, let's get your mind in the right place. The next time you look at yourself in the mirror, I want you to say out loud to yourself: 'I'm fabulous. In 30 to 90 days I'm gonna look and feel fabulous.'

Okay, once your head is in the right place, you can move on to the nitty gritty of changing your eating and lifestyle habits. Make up your mind right now that you are going to have a new body and you are committed to following through with whatever it is you have to do look fabulous.

Here are three things that will absolutely help you to burn fat off quicker (simple yes, but they work)

Go on a Calorie Rotation Diet for 30 ' 90 Days ' You can give that low calorie diet the boot, because recent studies have shown that severely restricting calories for long periods of time does not lead to any significant weight loss. That's right, a strict, low calorie diet causes your metabolism to slow down because your body will think you're trying to starve it.

While a low carb diet is effective, the best eating plan is one that rotates from low calories one day, medium calories the next, and high calories the next. This is called calorie rotation and it is very efficient in helping your body to burn fat while keeping much needed muscle. Plus, you won't feel hungry or deprived all the time because you can actually eat real food that tastes good.

Learn to Love Water ' This can be a toughie. The experts say we should all be drinking at least eight 8 oz. glasses of water each day for our health. Trust me, I'm no water drinker, but I have learned to love drinking water more ' although I'm not up to 8 glasses yet.

You'll love drinking water more too when you learn that it's one of the best natural fat burners. You see, when we are dehydrated our bodies hold on to excess water. This is why your stomach, hips and thighs are bloated. When you give your body the water it craves, it will clear out all that extra water weight you're carrying around, plus loads of toxins.

Water is also a natural appetite suppressant. You're not going to be as hungry and tempted to over eat after you've had an ice cold glass of water.

Your muscles love water and so does your skin. Wanna look years younger? Drink water and hydrate your skin for a fresher, younger appearance. Anyway, you're probably going to find it hard to drink those 8 glasses. Instead of skipping it all together, just commit to drinking two to three glasses of water a day. You'll still see and feel the benefits pretty quick.

Do Fitness Training with Weights ' A lot of people shy away from fitness training because they think they're gonna look like this big, muscle bound character we often see on TV and in movies. Well, this couldn't be farther from the truth. It's incredibly hard to bulk up muscle, that's why so many beefy body builders use super protein powders and um, other substances to get huge.

You see, normal fitness training, that's part of a regular fitness program, is only going to give you a nice, well toned body ' this is true for women as well as men. Plus, it's fantastic for burning fat. Our muscles have a lot to do with how fast we burn fat. When you fire up those muscles, they work like a steam engine to melt fat away.

You don't need to lift heavy weights for this to work. In fact, you can stick with 5 to 10 pound dumbbells. You can also use yoga balls and aerobic steps to enhance your workouts.
