How do they do it? The Biggest Loser contestants seem to have the secret key to how to lose weight fast and easy while the rest of the world sits back scratching their heads. Well The Biggest Loser Twins, Bill and Jim Germanakos who won season 4 by losing a mind-boggling 350 pounds in just 8 months are back in the national spotlight nearly two years after their win revealing their secrets. If you want to know once and for all how to lose weight fast and easy just like the contestants then read on.

Now before you dismiss the brothers accomplishment by saying they had it made by being on a ranch for 8 months where every moment was focused on weight loss, I need you to back up and remember something. Jim was voted off the show after week 5. That means that he went home, resumed being a husband and father and resumed his full-time job as a police officer and STILL lost 134 pounds in the remaining 6 months.

When Jim got home he knew he had to create a plan because even though he was no longer eligible for the grand prize (that ended up going to Bill who lost a total of 164 pounds) he could still win the “at home” prize awarded to the eliminated player with the highest percentage of weight loss.

His plan included these elements that helped him drop pounds fast and these are the elements they now help others do to achieve their own weight loss success.

1. Keep records. You don’t just write checks and “hope” you have enough in your bank account to cover them. The same goes for food intake. You cannot blindly go through your day “assuming” you are eating okay. The brothers learned to keep track of their calories and not go over their limit.

2. Find alternative foods you enjoy. Instead of spreading butter thickly on a piece of toast try a thin layer of jelly, or use honey-mustard on your sandwich instead of mayo. There are hundreds of little alternative you can find that make weight loss easy.

3. Exercise right. It is not enough to just do “cardio”. When you are losing fast you need to train with resistance such as bands or weights. This helps you protect your muscle mass which is vital to keeping your fat-burning metabolism pumping strong.

4. Don’t waste your time. Stay active, don’t spend the entire night on the couch in front of the TV, play with the kids, mow the lawn, go for a walk, then get a good night’s rest to recharge so you are ready for an active tomorrow.

5. Follow a proven plan. The less “guess work” you have the faster and easier you will lose.
