How to Lose 10 Pounds in 1 Week

If you are working on your weight, then you probably want it very fast.
You can safely lose upto 10 pounds in one week, without starvation, bizarre supplements, or cutting out entire food groups.
If you desire to lose a lot of weight in a really short period of time, opt for the following steps.

STEP 1

The Paperwork
Do the math.

When you set a goal, it's important to know how to go about achieving that goal. Before you start counting calories, know exactly how many you need to stick to in order to lose 10 pounds in 1 week.
1 pound is 3,500 calories. You have 7 days to lose ten of those.
3,500 x 10 = 35,000 calories to be lost.
35,000 / 7 = 5,000 lost per day
2,000 cal per day - 5,000 =-3,000 calories per day
As you can see, keeping to a -3,000 calorie per day diet is just ridiculous. However, an incredibly strict diet, exercise, and the loss of the initial water weight (depending on your size, the bigger you are, the easier this will be) may put you nearer to this goal than the math allows for. What's more, your weight fluctuates around 2 pounds per day, adding a margin for error.
Luckily, it's not just diet that controls calories: exercise and pills does as well. In this rapid and intense diet, both are needed.

Step 2

Revamping your Diet

i. Cut out processed goods
Low-energy-dense diets help people lower their caloric intake while maintaining feelings of satiety and controlling feelings of hunger.
Foods with a lower energy density provide fewer calories per gram than foods with a higher energy density. For the same amount of calories, a person can consume a larger portion of a food lower in energy density than a food higher in energy density.
To maintain a low-energy-dense diet, load up on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean dairy and meats (foods that have high water and fiber content), and avoid processed goods.
The easiest way to avoid processed goods is to skip the fast food and restaurants. If you make it, you know exactly what's going into your body.
ii. Drink lots of water.
A sports or energy drink, fruit smoothie, or light beer — each serving contains about 100calories. Yet these beverages don't satisfy you the way 100 calories of food does, so they're a waste. Other liquids may be high in sodium and carbohydrates, which trick your body into retaining water, puffing you out.


Water, on the other hand, has zero calories and carbs and little to no sodium, making it the perfect slim-down drink. And strangely, it actually helps flush out excess water weight as well as jump-starts your metabolism. Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day.
If it's just too boring, add lemon wedges or mint leaves.

Step 3

Exercises/Cardio
Do more

Exercise must be a regular activity in your day even after the week is up if you want to continue to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Exercise also boost your energy and supercharge your metabolism, and both help make your weightloss endeavor more successful. Because exercise methods for losing weight are subjective and dependent upon your health, meet with your doctor to discuss the best exercise routine for your personal needs.
Cardio burns more fat than strength training, but both are needed for maximal weight loss. If running isn't your thing, choose an easier-on-the-knees activity like swimming or the elliptical machine.
Plenty of activities count as a cardio workout that you may not even realize. Here are the calories burned in 30 minutes of each activity:
Aerobic dance - 342
Boxing - 330
Jumping rope - 286
Tennis - 232
Basketball - 282
Swimming (freestyle) - 248

Warning

Don't overdo the exercise. If you end up fainting or getting dehydrated, your body will shut down. That should be the last thing you want.

Losing 10 lbs in one week is a steep goal, to say the least. If you are going to embark on this quest, it is important to go in with a level head. You may not reach your goal in the time allotted.
