How to Lose 10 Pounds in Seven Days

Losing 10 pounds in seven days is not entirely impossible, but it does take a drastic lifestyle change and concentrated dedication to achieve such results. To burn one pound of body weight, you must burn 3,500 calories. Therefore, the math in losing 10 pounds would suggest that you must burn 35,000 calories. When the daily calorie consumption is drastically dropped, you will lose more than just fat; you will also burn water weight and a small amount of muscle.

Instructions

1

Combine the ingredients listed above for a weight loss jump start recommended by TV trainer Jillian Michaels. This recipe is made to flush out excess water weight you may be carrying around in your body.

2

Eat five or six small meals a day instead of three large meals to optimize your metabolism. Cut out snacking altogether and drink plenty of water in between meals to keep your stomach full.

3

Consume caffeine, which is known to boost your metabolism by six percent and provide a significant pre-workout boost. Sources of caffeine include coffee or caffeine supplements.

4

Perform as much high-intensity cardio exercise as possible. Exercise each day of that seven-day period, possibly twice or even three times per day.

5
