Lose 5 To 10 Pounds In A Week

If you need to fit in to a dress for a special occasion or just want to get rid of that extra weight you been carrying around, this eHow will help you shed that last 5 to 10 pounds in as little as a week.


Instructions


1. Make the Commitment


You will first have to make the commitment to losing those extra 5 to 10 pounds. In most cases a lot of this weight is water weight.


2. Drink, Drink, Drink!


This is not alcohol or sugary drinks, so don't get too excited. To lose 5 to 10 pounds in a week you will need to increase your water intake. This will help lose the water weight. It will also help you reduce calories. When you take in more water it is calorie free, plus it keeps you full. Drinking lots of water will prevent that afternoon craving for snacks.








3. Negative Calorie Foods!








Negative calorie foods are ones which take more energy to burn than they actually contain. Examples of these foods are celery, lettuce, and cabbage. These foods are best consumed uncooked.


4. Proteins!


Proteins are important in any healthy diet. If you are trying to lose weight quickly you should consume only lean proteins like fish or skinless, baked chicken. You can also steam these proteins. You want to be sure to not add any more calories to these proteins, so stay away from butter or other oils they are commonly cooked in. Protein shakes are also a good option. Make sure any protein drink is a low carb protein drink.


5. Condiments!


Adding condiments can be the down fall of any diet. If you are trying to lose 5 to 10 pounds in a week you will need to use only low calorie condiments. Mustard and spray salad dressings are good options.
