The only downside was losing this much weight in a week wasn't healthy, but when I noticed how great I felt, not to mentioned looked, it motivated me to keep the weight off by following other more natural and healthy tips.
How I Lost 10 pounds in a Week
Before you read these eight proven steps, keep in mind losing weight this fast is not healthy. However, here are the exact steps that I followed to lose more than ten pounds in a week.
Step 1: I started with one day of detox. This will help you cleanse your body of toxins so you can lose weight quickly. To do this, all you need is ginger, honey, and lemon juice mixed with water. Whenever you get hungry, drink it instead of eating. Amazingly enough, I felt fine all day long. There were never any cramps, dizziness, lack of energy, or any other side effects.
Step 2: I desperately needed to lose weight fast so I limited the types and amounts of foods I ate. Specifically, I ate nothing but vegetables, lean meats such as fish, eggs, and fruits, eliminating any carbs. I always drank 16 oz. of water before each meal to feel more full and prevent over eating. Just be sure to add a serving of vegetables or fruits to some type of protein being lean meat, eggs, nuts, or grains keeping each serving proportionate.
Special note: Try to avoid any carbs such as potatoes and bananas during your first week. Anything with starch is a definite enemy of quick weight loss.
Step 3: Add at least two apples and a can of your favorite black beans to your daily diet. Eating in smaller portions more frequently will speed up your metabolism so you can add these apples and beans into your diet as snacks or two smaller meals in between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.. I usually ate the beans with a serving of veggies followed by an apple. These fibers will not only clean your digestive tract, but also supercharge your fat loss.
Step 4: Eat breakfast everyday and do not eat after 7pm. If you have a later schedule then give your body at least 3 hours to digest food before going to sleep. Eating breakfast will increase your metabolism. This will give you more energy for the day and help you burn more calories. This is extremely important for healthy weight loss. Also it's important to drink 10-12 8 oz glasses of water throughout your day. This will keep you from feeling hungry and will help boost your metabolic rate.
Step 5: Spread your calories out during the day. To prevent myself from feeling hungry all the time, I would usually snack every 2-3 hours eating 5-6 times a day. This gave me three meals and 1 small snack in between.
Step 6: Limit unhealthy foods. I love junk food, but in order to lose weight quickly I had to either eliminate it or cheat and eat something earlier in the day when my metabolism was higher.
Step 7: Use alternatives. Instead of drinking juice, eat fresh fruit. Instead of using sugar, use a sweetener. Just use your head here. Anything that has sugar is bad for you so either limit your intake or eliminate it all together.
Step 8: Keep busy and stay motivated. When you're busy you don't have time to eat. I wasn't working at the time so I started cleaning and organizing everything around the house. I even found some old but shocking pictures of me in a bathing suit for a little motivation. If you want to lose ten pounds in a week then follow these 8 steps. There simple and they work. However, the most important thing to keep in mind when trying to lose weight fast is to watch what you eat. Some foods actually make you gain more weight than others so it's important to know which ones to avoid.
