When it comes to weight loss needs/desires – women tend to fall into one of two groups; those needing to lose “a lot” of weight, and those who need to shed just a few pounds to get back to their ideal size. As we hit the summer season, many of us are becoming more aware of that winter weight we put on, those extra 10-20lbs of pure seasonal laziness! I’m guilty of it myself, my winter weight usually manifests as a muffin top, a fuller than normal face and an extra two inches on my waist line. To really get bikini body ready, I’m going to examine some of the top fitness programs designed to help you shed weight quickly and in a healthy manner.
The Master Cleanse: I’ve talked about this briefly before, but I’m considering giving it a try. It’s popularly known as the lemonade diet or the syrup diet. Beyonce admitted to using the Master Cleanse while preparing for her role as Deena in Dream Girls. She lost 20lbs in two weeks. Now I’m not looking to lose twenty pounds, but the Master Cleanse has a ton of other benefits as well. The Master Cleanse is basically like a detox, flushing all the toxins out of your system. The weight loss is a natural by product of it, but it’s also a good way to increase your energy and mental clarity. I find myself feeling terribly sluggish during the day. I think back to the years of sugar, fats, salts, caffeine, etc that are just sitting in my body, partying and having a good ole time at the expense of my energy levels! If (really when) I decide to do the Master Cleanse, it will be for the purpose of regaining energy. I know myself, and I can’t start any quick weight loss program until I address my energy issues.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots: This program promises that you will lose 9lbs for every 11 days that you stick to their method. They debunk popular methods of low carb, low calorie and low fat diets. This system is all about shifting calories, or – the process of establishing the proper eating times and choosing foods that trigger your brain to burn calories. It’s almost like training your body and brain to lose weight by establish the most successful habits which trigger the proper fat burning hormones. I mean it seems really obvious – isn’t that what all weight loss programs promise to do? Obviously not. It seems really popular and from what I’ve gathered so far – the member support that comes with the program is awesome.

Fit Yummy Mummy: Fit Yummy Mummy is targeted to moms who want to shed the “baby weight”. Lets be honest, some of us are still carrying this baby weight even though our kids are 5, 6 or 7 years old! I swear there’s something about pregnancy and motherhood that just changes everything about the body. Fit Yummy Mummy is a lifestyle system that coaches you on losing fat without joining a gym or spending hours a day training. Holly Rigsby is the creator of Fit Yummy Mummy and has a huge following. She bases the system on the methods she she used to drop 30lbs to get back to her glory days shape – and it definitely worked for her! This program seems good because it’s about changing your lifestyle, diet and workout included. However, it takes the hectic schedule of mommies into consideration.

The Official Fitness Model Program: So you want to be the next top (fitness) model huh? The Official Fitness Model Program was designed by the beautiful Jennifer Nicole Lee. She was Ms. Bikini America, Ms. Bikini Universe, on the cover of Oxygen and Fitness magazine. Oh – and Oprah has talked about her as well. You know you’ve hit pay dirt when you get a mention by the queen of talk, Oprah! Jennifer most recently launched the Ab Circle Pro product on HSN. She’s completely legit in terms of her knowledge and success at achieving the desired results. Her program has a ton of great freebies included with it as well, like a mp3 download audio seminar. She’s high energy and fun, I’m looking forward to trying this one. Now granted, I’m not trying to get to fitness model status, but I’d love to lose 3-4 inches around the waist!
I’ll be going over each individual product soon – so stay tuned!
