Lose 10 pounds in a week
Losing ten pounds in a week is not that difficult. It requires some cardiovascular exercise and simple modifications to the foods you already eat.
The first thing you need is to drink a lot of water. Although it sounds strange, the more water you drink, the less your body retains. If you’re not drinking enough water, your body will retain as much of it as possible to stay hydrated. You should drink spring water because it does not contain salt.
The second thing you need to do is limit the carbohydrates you eat. We’re not a fan of the many carb-only diets that eliminate all carbs in your diet. These diets are dangerous. We recommend that you replace unnecessary carbohydrates with limited necessary carbohydrates. Every time you have lunch or dinner you should eat a portion of protein, a portion of carbohydrates and a portion of vegetables. An example of an unnecessary carbohydrate is the 12 inches of bread you eat when you order a sandwich. When you are trying to lose weight fast, you should eat a wrap instead of bread. Most delis today offer wraps as an alternative to their sandwiches. Another of the most popular and unnecessary carbohydrates are soft drinks. Aside from alcohol, soda is the worst thing you could drink while trying to lose weight. Even the diet ones are bad. Replace soft drinks with water. If you want to add some flavor to your water, add some Crystal Light. Crystal Lights has 5 calories per serving and is carbohydrate-free.
The third thing to do is sweat. The more you sweat, the better. Your body needs to get rid of the excess salt it has. The fastest way is by sweating. Walk, run, jog, bike, jump rope, do cardio, etc. There are so many things you can do to work up a sweat, but there are two tips that will maximize the effort you put in. The first tip for sweating is that if you are going to do it at home, turn off the air conditioning. For example, many people have a stationary bike at home. We recommend that if you have one you put it in front of a TV to help kill time, but it will take you much longer to break a sweat if your air conditioner is set to 65 degrees. Turn it off while you exercise. The opposite if it is winter time. Leave the heating on during the winter. The second tip requires a monetary investment. It will cost you around $8. Go to your favorite discount store like Wal-Mart, Target, K-mart, etc. In the sporting goods section look for a sauna suit. Boxers have worn sauna suits for as long as I can remember. Even Muhammad Ali used it. Now they have become very popular among professional athletes in other sports. The sauna suit will increase your body temperature and make you sweat more in much less time. Try it for about 45 minutes and you will be surprised.
Remember the more you sweat the better and drink plenty of water. Drink at least 10 glasses of water a day.
